它是这样一本书:当你对周遭商业世界习以为常,甚至乐在其中时,看完它,你能暂时脱离开这个被刺激性语言和图像塑造的广告环境,重新审视你的生活。 作者花了几年时间去研究钻石的商业轨迹,从美国到博茨瓦纳、纳米比亚、南非、安特卫普、伦敦、巴西、加拿大,最后回到美国,处...

评分钻石的现实用途并不多,在历史上大部分时间大部分地区,钻石都只是一些拿来把玩的小石头,并不是甚么贵重品。书中一名钻石勘探人员无奈地说,从未想过要为钻石这种无用之物而工作。然而,钻石这无用之物一直捆绑着全球数以千万计的劳动力。 为了维持钻石的高价位,De Beers长...
评分无房无车无钻戒,不办婚礼无蜜月。即便从裸婚的定义也不难窥见,钻戒是缔结婚约的一个“大件”。但从实用主义的角度来看,钻石既不如房和车来得不可或缺,也不如父辈的“黄货”来得保值,它如何能代表爱情呢? 汤姆·佐尔纳曾像无数热恋男子一样,满怀希冀地将钻戒套上爱人的手...

In 2000, Tom Zoellner purchased a diamond engagement ring and proposed. His girlfriend said, "yes" and then, suddenly, walked out of his life making Tom the owner of a used engagement ring. Instead of hitting the self-help shelves of his local bookstore, he hit the road travelling to diamond mines in Africa, Canada, India, Brazil and Russia to discover the true worth of this shining gem. He travelled to Japan to understand how diamonds were linked with engagements and delved into the history of our own romance with the diamond ring. He gained entry to DeBeers, the London diamond merchants. He visited shopping mall jewellers with starry-eyed couples. Through all of his travels, he searched for an answer to the question "How has one stone created empires, ruined lives, inspired lust and emptied wallets throughout history?" A diamond version of Susan Orleans' "The Orchid Thief", Tom Zoellner's The Heartless Stone is a journey to the cold heart of the world's most unyielding gem.
