即便在“译文纪实”这套精彩的非虚构丛书中,《长乐路》都格外出彩。这套豆瓣均分为8(满分为10)的系列丛书已经出版二十几册,高品质的阅读体验在书迷中口碑甚好,最近最受关注的一本,恐怕当属《长乐路》。 这是当代上海一条街道的故事,但也是你和我的日常故事,我们和青年C...
评分 评分今天下午带着书去了趟长乐路。 从‘汇贤居’开始,一路向东。 百度地图上是找不到‘麦琪里’的。汇贤居后面的‘麦琪里’现在依旧是一片空地,高高的围墙看不到里面。我走到马路对面,隐约看到了里面还有一小栋没拆,其他就是一片空地了。这么多年过去,这里依旧没有建任何公共...
评分没想到这本书能在国内出版,因为里面的太不和谐了,也正因为如此,我们更需要看看这本书,对我们习以为常的魔幻现实主义的生活,通过一个外国人的视角进行重新审视。 作者史明智通过上海长乐路一条路上的居民故事,揭示了我们当下老中青三代所面临的生成困境和造成困境的根源—...

Modern Shanghai: a global city in the midst of a renaissance, where dreamers arrive each day to partake in a mad torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. Marketplace's Rob Schmitz is one of them. He immerses himself in his neighborhood, forging deep relationships with ordinary people who see in the city's sleek skyline a brighter future, and a chance to rewrite their destinies. There's Zhao, whose path from factory floor to shopkeeper is sidetracked by her desperate measures to ensure a better future for her sons. Down the street lives Auntie Fu, a fervent capitalist forever trying to improve herself with religion and get-rich-quick schemes while keeping her skeptical husband at bay. Up a flight of stairs, musician and cafe owner CK sets up shop to attract young dreamers like himself but learns he's searching for something more. A tale of twenty-first-century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China's distinct generations through multifaceted characters who illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream.
刚看了前几页就很喜欢,有文采而不做作的句子和陌生人的故事//大概是今年最喜欢的书,看这些故事的同时正好每天在刷food ranger的视频,不由得去想象每个街边小吃摊主又怎样的故事
评分找到一本类似于江城的书,背景是上海。
评分17年看的第一本书,因为生病躺尸两天,终于把这本书读完了。从外国人视角来看中国,很多我们习以为常的事变得没有那么理所当然起来。书里记录了一些我们作为中国人,不太会感兴趣去了解的一些普通人,从他们的故事里展现了过去的和现在的中国,对将来的中国有悲观也有一丝丝乐观。
评分# myfirstEnglishliteraturework A portrait of contemporary China. While uncommon and even exotic to foreign readers, the stories are nothing new to Chinese readers, especially those who are interested in sociological or anthropological studies. What I learn from the work about nonfiction writting is--details, and more details. 细节在这儿不仅是描述,还是作者的议论和情感。
评分总是带着点美国式的居高临下的feel,不过确实也写出了一些国人习以为常,外人觉得不可思议的点。中文版删减了太多东西,这个时候体现出会英语的好处了。
