作者利用丰富的历史素材,以小说形式写出一个比许多虚构小说还引人入胜的故事。中世纪各种匪夷所思一一呈现,犹如进入神秘蛮荒世界。所谓的教宗,所谓的贵族朝臣,不是文盲就是无赖,或两者兼备,总之没一个好人,没一个人正常。 很难想象抄写员是如此专门的一种职业,很难想...

评分一本关于公元前一世纪古罗马哲学家卢克莱修的拉丁文长诗《物性论》的书。2013年竟然就出了中文译本,不过竟然没有多少人记录读过这本书。 作者Greenblatt是美国现代语言委员会主席,书的节奏很慢,颇多有趣的展开和旁述,看英文原版的话倒可流连于他优美的文笔,看中文版反倒...

Winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction
Winner of the 2011 National Book Award for Non-Fiction One of the world's most celebrated scholars, Stephen Greenblatt has crafted both an innovative work of history and a thrilling story of discovery, in which one manuscript, plucked from a thousand years of neglect, changed the course of human thought and made possible the world as we know it.
Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late thirties took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic, On the Nature of Things , by Lucretius—a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and swerving in new directions.
The copying and translation of this ancient book-the greatest discovery of the greatest book-hunter of his age-fueled the Renaissance, inspiring artists such as Botticelli and thinkers such as Giordano Bruno; shaped the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein; and had a revolutionary influence on writers such as Montaigne and Shakespeare and even Thomas Jefferson. 16 pages full-color illustrations

评分前半段五星,后三分之一三星。lucretius的影响力是核心论点,可把文艺复兴和启蒙运动归结到一首诗实在讲不通,只能帮助理解伊拉斯谟,moore和蒙田的共同传统。书好看的部分就是铺垫部分,变革前夜的教廷,人文学者的痴迷和失落,文字和那个时代一样充满可能性。
评分our lives we borrow from each other... and men, like runners , pass along the torch of life...
评分标题和副标题看着很雄伟,其实讲的就是一部古诗手稿如何引发文艺复兴。虎头蛇尾,略扯。
