The Memory Chalet 2025 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...
评分虽然《战后欧洲史》的电子版就在硬盘里摆着,但看的第一本托尼•朱特的书,还是他这本文学性质颇浓的自传。作者是著名史家和公共知识分子,但这自传却是非常私人化的回忆、感慨与剖白,诚恳坦率,充满声音与滋味。很多地方,朱特那种“气人的孤高”简直溢出纸面,却神奇地并...
评分热衷于思考的托尼·朱特偏偏患上了“渐冻人症”,这不啻于一种最残忍的酷刑。身体一点点被禁锢在静止状态,逐渐不能写字、不能言语,疾病不但慢慢切断了他同外界交流的途径,甚至剥夺了他跟随自己的思想起舞的乐趣。于是他被称为人文学术界的“霍金”。 托尼·朱特很清楚,他要...
评分 评分对抗时间的方式包括记忆与书写。 这是一本内容上并不厚重的传记(因为作者没人没有惊心动魄的往事),但是一本情感上粘稠带着悲伤情绪的传记(因为是作者生前的最后一本书,在写完序言的三个月之后就去世了)。 作者拥有冷静,理智,严密的思维。在脑海中搭建建筑物的文学创...

" 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.
结尾看着特伤感。
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Memories and monuments.
评分going nowhere on that little train forever
