Gilbert Highet was a legendary teacher at Columbia University, admired both for his scholarship and his charisma as a lecturer. Poets in a Landscape is his delightful exploration of Latin literature and the Italian landscape. As Highet writes in his introduction, “I have endeavored to recall some of the greatest Roman poets by describing the places were they lived, recreating their characters and evoking the essence of their work.” The poets are Catullus, Vergil, Propertius, Horace, Tibullus, Ovid, and Juvenal. Highet brings them life, setting them in their historical context and locating them in the physical world, while also offering crisp modern translations of the poets’ finest work. The result is an entirely sui generis amalgam of travel writing, biography, criticism, and pure poetry—altogether an unexcelled introduction to the world of the classics.
一天翻完,H文笔真好,可以再去意大利旅行时随身携带。看多了中世纪,读这本书简直如沐春风。看的是图书馆57年纽约Knopf版,质感超棒,已经购入!
评分不愧是Highet,实在好看。个人认为,这样的游记是唯一值得被阅读的类型,而作者写得又这么好。英文亲切又优雅,惯于囫囵吞枣的我,碰到一个不认识的单词都要停下来查查,不舍得浪费。
