The Memory Chalet 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
在托尼•朱特(Tony Judt)一系列学术著作中,《记忆小屋》显得格外与众不同。这本小书介于回忆录与自传之间,但是更倾向于散文般精致的叙事。如果从精神质地上考量这本小书的话,也唯有纳博科夫式的回忆可堪相比,这是一本二十世纪著名历史学家的《说吧,记忆》。 朱特与纳...
评分总要做点事情来度过艰难的第二百天。于是敲了半天字。 身份的复杂是朱特的一大优势,让他的视野不受很多难以意识到的观念的左右。祖父母从沙皇俄国移民到比利时,缺乏传统意义上的身份意识;父亲出生于安特卫普。外祖父、外祖母来自俄国和罗马尼亚,对这两个国家却并不了解,移...
评分我们完全依赖于记忆而活,但从不觉得记忆有多么重要。生活的一个悖论就在于,那些习以为常的拥有就该是理所应当的存在——存在即合理的合法化说明。我第一次察觉到记忆的不可靠,对其产生恐惧,是在涉猎英文时,无论我如何反复背诵那些英文单词,就是无法让它们在我的脑海中产...
评分﹣一本十分優雅的小書。 ﹣談的是過去的歐美,不是系統性的文章,但從片斷中還是會讀到十分有意思的片斷。 ﹣看這本書時,確實會想起了霍布斯邦的《趣味橫生的時代》,當然後者要厚重很多。而這本作為作者病重時的回憶文章,沒有了那麼多的責任與分析,卻透露著作者的智慧與...

" It might be thought the height of poor taste to ascribe good fortune to a healthy man with a young family struck down at the age of sixty by an incurable degenerative disorder from which he must shortly die. But there is more than one sort of luck. To fall prey to a motor neuron disease is surely to have offended the Gods at some point, and there is nothing more to be said. But if you must suffer thus, better to have a well-stocked head." -Tony Judt
The Memory Chalet is a memoir unlike any you have ever read before. Each essay charts some experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning. Memories of the 1968 student riots of Paris meander through the divergent sex politics of Europe, before concluding that his generation "was a revolutionary generation, but missed the revolution." A series of road trips across America lead not just to an appreciation of American history, but to an eventual acquisition of citizenship. Foods and trains and long-lost smells all compete for Judt's attention; but for us, he has forged his reflections into an elegant arc of analysis. All as simply and beautifully arranged as a Swiss chalet-a reassuring refuge deep in the mountains of memory.
going nowhere on that little train forever
评分在没有读过Judt的历史著作前先读了这本类似回忆录的散文集,感受到了一位untypical Jew、meritocrat、deeply love train traveling、a bit nostalgic of old traditions的English gentleman的情怀,他也曾在年轻时去过以色列Kibbutz,也曾在二战后somehow buy communism,但最终还是成为了一个true cosmopolitan。最喜欢其中三篇,one is about him learning Czech,another is about the identity in globalization, the last is about the integrity of words.
评分读到了很多知识分子的不羁吧。
