Born in 1948, Tony Judt was raised in the East End of London by a mother whose parents had immigrated from Russia and a Belgian father who descended from a line of Lithuanian rabbis. Judt was educated at Emanuel School, before receiving a BA (1969) and PhD (1972) in history from the University of Cambridge.
Like many other Jewish parents living in postwar Europe, his mother and father were secular, but they sent him to Hebrew school and steeped him in the Yiddish culture of his grandparents, which Judt says he still thinks of wistfully. Urged on by his parents, Judt enthusiastically waded into the world of Israeli politics at age 15. He helped promote the migration of British Jews to Israel. In 1966, having won an exhibition to King's College Cambridge, he took a gap year and went to work on kibbutz Machanaim. When Nasser expelled UN troops from Sinai in 1967, and Israel mobilized for war, like many European Jews, he volunteered to replace kibbutz members who had been called up. During and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, he worked as a driver and translator for the Israel Defense Forces.
But during the aftermath of the war, Judt's belief in the Zionist enterprise began to unravel. "I went with this idealistic fantasy of creating a socialist, communitarian country through work," Judt has said. The problem, he began to believe, was that this view was "remarkably unconscious of the people who had been kicked out of the country and were suffering in refugee camps to make this fantasy possible."

在过去的五百年里,欧洲一直深深推动和影响着世界其余部分的历史进程,以至于在很长一段时间里,了解在欧洲发生了什么事,即便对中国人来说也近乎一种义务,否则就不免被视为对世界潮流一无所知。这种状况在1945年后受到了冲击,经历两次世界大战的欧洲元气大伤,在新的全球格...
评分□纽约书评笔记 ,刊于东方早报-上海书评 乔纳森 从2010年开始,《纽约书评》每期刊出两三篇托尼•朱特(Tony Judt)的回忆文字,篇幅都不长,谈的多是青少年时代的经历。到4月29日这期,回忆文字暂停了,托尼•朱特的名字却又出现了三次:一是从他刚面世的新书《乡土式微...
评分第1卷第77页,关于全民福利制度的那段堪称神解释。 这段的大意是: 1,穷人从全民福利制度中得到了不少好处; 2,但是中产阶级得到的好处更多,因为之前他们要为医疗、教育和养老服务付钱。现在“他们完全有资格免费或低成本获得这些利益”。 为什么称它是“神解释”? 1,“...
评分1. 有人说翻译得烂,好在现在好多人有英文的底子,原著是个老美,美语在中国又大行其道,不至于 读不懂。至少我读下来,都看懂了。 2. 新星出版社2010年定价88元,中信现在168元,不过好在你我购买时都不是按原价,互联网书店有打折,还有满多少元返多少元,可以中和一下涨价...
评分《战后欧洲史》,一部波澜壮阔的欧洲60年变迁史。此前听说这部书,从图书馆找到两卷本,但字很小排得很密,另我这个老花眼者望而却步,直到中信四卷本出版(说实话,装帧很重要,就像人的穿着),买了一套,躺椅上,床头边,断断续续一个多月,仔细阅读了一遍。 我不是历史学家...

Almost a decade in the making, this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world's most esteemed historians and intellectuals is a singular achievement. Postwar is the first modern history that covers all of Europe, both east and west, drawing on research in six languages to sweep readers through thirty-four nations and sixty years of political and cultural change-all in one integrated, enthralling narrative. Both intellectually ambitious and compelling to read, thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details, Postwar is a rare joy.

政治课写book review的书,虽然没有仔细拜读全文,仍然能够感受到它的引人入胜。最深刻的两点,一是Judt关于欧洲的论述,把欧洲作为一个整体去思考,思考欧洲如何在过去六十年变为今日的欧洲(书面世是2005年),非常清晰的主线,贯穿全篇,同时历史细节又很丰富,看得我好震撼!(不是);二是Judt关于memory的部分,这个也不只是书最后的后记那一部分提到了,全文里面也有很多地方在讨论,(我觉得主题们贯穿全篇简直是这本书的一大特点),可惜我是这个学期才接触memory这个领域,没怎么看懂(。ŏ_ŏ) 。幸好历史课就是关于西欧二十世纪政治记忆的,还会仔细再康康滴。
