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.

萨义德博士的心血杰作,细述幽微之处读来颇为动人,决不亚于一部伟大的断代史。既饱含深情,又绝不故布疑阵、引人误入歧途。透过他多年的省思注视,那些被历史遗忘的人物将再次跃然纸上。他们是这样活灵活现,血肉丰满,令人不禁赞叹著述者的精妙笔力和对生活的洞彻感悟。 我们...
评分萨义德在提到童年时父亲用可能是整个区域第一台柯达8厘米摄像机拍摄的短片时说道,“它们排除了太多东西,似乎做作而僵硬,根本摒绝我们生活中一切努力与不确定的痕迹。人人脸上挂着笑容,母亲愉快得不可思议,有时甚至摆出强健的姿态(我记得的她比较苗条而悒郁)。这一切都凸...

评分正在读这本书。 其实买回来已经很久了,等到大陆版出来,用的就是台湾的译本,还没有读,不禁有点心疼银子(在香港买台湾版的这本书,比大陆版贵了四倍阿,555555555),还是没有读。 不过大陆版的译名是对头的,切合萨伊德的这本书的主旨,台湾版就有点太琼瑶了。 萨伊德的几...
