From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.
Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider. Richly detailed, moving, often profound, Out of Place depicts a young man's coming of age and the genesis of a great modern thinker.
萨义德(Edward W.Said,1935-2003),当今世界最具影响力的文学与文化批评家之一,1963年起为哥伦比亚大学英国文学与比较文学教授。代表性著作有:《东方学》(1978;曾获美国国家书评家奖,三联书店1999年出版中译本)、《巴勒斯坦问题》(1979)、《世界・文本・批评家》(1983)、《文化与帝国主义》(1993;三联书店2003年出版中译本)、《知识分子论》(1994;三联书店2001年出版中译本)以及《流离失所的政治:巴勒斯坦自决的奋斗,1969-1994》(1994)等。萨义德还是有名的乐评家、歌剧鉴赏家、钢琴家,并为巴勒斯坦在西方世界最雄辩的代言人。
长久以来一直为自己的独立而孤独的个性而困惑,直到偶然地捡起Edward Said的作品,不想竟从此为自己觅得了一份前路的指南。从Out of Place(格格不入),到Representations of the Intellectual (知识分子论),到After the last sky,再到Orientalism(东方学),几乎是按着...
评分相比几年前更能读进去了,大概比以前更能接受和有意愿倾听别人谈谈心事了。 这是一本作者对自己的回忆录,从儿时讲起,围绕着家庭、学校教育,从作者的眼睛出发,讲述了自己周围的一切,周围于“我”的反差,凸显了“我”于环境中的格格不入。 萨德义于殖民时代末期,出生在...
评分 评分一路纠结地读下来,到了尾声忽然间豁然开朗。 算是明白了“格格不入”的深层原因:与其说是融合了埃及、以色列、巴勒斯坦、美国、欧洲各地的悲欢离合,战争与动乱的阻隔,英语大环境下对于希伯来语系的不宽容······除此之外,更重要的是,作者那一颗自由的心,一...
评分相对他的东方主义和知识分子论,我更喜欢这本对青年时代到来之前的回忆录,会让你看到一个心灵和头脑均十分敏感的孩子,如何一边面对另他感到格格不入的学校和严苛家教,一边独自建构了一个独立隐蔽的精神世界;也因此衡量多层面的感受,更多是痛苦,对成就一个作家多么重要。更重要的是,假如没有这些最初的生活经历,也许不会推进后来的Said去关注流亡,东方vs西方,这些明显out of place的主题。
