John Carey is Merton Professor of English at Oxford University, a distinguished critic, reviewer and broadcaster, and the author of several books, including studies of Donne, Dickens and Thackeray, and most recently, Pure Pleasure: A Guide to the Twentieth Century's Most Enjoyable Books, described, by James Wood in the London Review of Books, as 'likeable, wise and often right . . . one feels an attractive sense of partisanship in Carey's writing, an alliance with the ordinary, the plain spoken, the unlettered, the sympathetic and the humane. Carey writes with an Orwellian attention to decency'. He is a regular critic on BBC2's Newsnight Review. He is also the editor of the best-selling anthologies The Faber Book of Reportage, The Faber Book of Science and The Faber Book of Utopias.

评分在家无聊听广播,主播推荐的,后来买了一本,很不错,介绍了很多有意思的书,好多都没有中文的,就当读了个迷你版了 哈哈
评分難以想像這本書的作者是《知識分子與大眾》一書的作者。它讓我想起了明星們代言的牛皮膏藥! 看了一半不到就沒有任何可以讓我可以繼續意淫下去的動力!我想像不出來作者讀這50本書會有任何的快感快樂。因為書裡幾乎沒有任何文字描述這50本書究竟快樂在哪裡?這本書...

评分阅读应该是一件快乐的事情,作者的观点没什么可以争议的。 但是阅读也是一件很个人的事情,带着太多个体经验、好恶的味道。对作者来说这些书是令人愉悦的,但是对处于不同的文化语境下的人们,带着不同阅历背景的人们来说,未必如此。 如果您对现当代西方小说、诗歌、文化感兴...

In Pure Pleasure, John Carey, one of Britain's most respected literary critics, introduces us to what he believes are the fifty most enjoyable books of the twentieth century based on sheer reading pleasure. Mixing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, Carey includes literary heavyweights like James Joyce, Thomas Mann, and T. S. Eliot, as well as more populist writers like Arthur Conan Doyle, Kingsley Amis, and John Updike. Carey also discusses masterpieces like F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Gunter Grass's The Tin Drum, alongside lesser-known works like D. H. Lawrence's Twilight in Italy and George Orwell's Coming Up for Air.In a series of intelligent and fast-moving essays -- each devoted to a single book -- Carey mixes criticism, biography, and cultural context about each selection with illuminations on the author's inspiration and how each work was written. The end result is a book that no one who is passionate about reading should be without.
