The Lost Continent pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
This volume contains humorous accounts of two journeys, one taken across America, the other a trek across Europe. "The Lost Continent" is an account of one man's rediscovery of America and his search for the perfect small town. Instead he finds a continent that is doubly lost: lost to itself because it is blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; and lost to him because he has become a foreigner in his own country. In "Neither Here Nor There", the author journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the European continent, to Istanbul. In doing so he retraces his steps as a student 20 years before, visiting countries including Norway, France and Italy.
“幽默”大概是最常放在Bryson身上的标签了。个人感觉他的书最适合马上枕上厕上等零碎时间看,因为笑点密集,随便拎出几句话,都能让人笑出来。比如他形容美中大平原的平:摞起两本电话黄页站上,能看出去一个州(原文是很大一片风景,get a view)。 但用大块时间一口气读下去...
评分通宵看的这本书,大半夜的在床上笑到打滚。Bill Bryson太擅长损人了,而且都那么一针见血。一面读一面佩服他怎么可以把话说的这么幽默讽刺,恨不得背下来用。可以感觉到,他虽然以移民英国为幸事,又看不惯美国人的种种无知陋习,还有些反商业化反庸俗化,但心底对那片土地还是...
评分看过杰克凯鲁亚克的《在路上》之后可以看看比尔•布莱森的“在路上”,比尔•布莱森(1951-)被称为最幽默的旅游文学作家,他之于旅游文学就像日本导演宫崎骏之于动漫界,不仅因为他们都有漂亮的大胡子,而且都在全球拥有无可撼动的业界核心地位。他们出现之前,业界混沌...
评分上课断断续续读完了《失落的大陆》。我人在教室,心儿却跟着比尔.布莱森飞啊,飞啊,飞到美国去了。这比什么《红楼梦》的家谱有意思多了。 各种热情奔放的餐馆服务员,以及各种对着游客垂涎欲滴的旅游景点,还有那燥热的无尽公路,富有特色的城镇名称和当地口音,不怀好意的天...
评分Bill Bryson 的文字里太多机智与幽默,总让我哑然失笑。虽然他的段子多到轻浮的地步。他这一次开车穿行美国大陆,去了不少很无聊的小镇,可这经历被他写的妙趣横生。看完了,我决不会想去跟随他的足迹访问这些小镇,但是我一定会再去读他的书。
