Anne Fadiman is--by her own admission--the sort of person who learned about sex from her father's copy of "Fanny Hill," whose husband buys her 19 pounds of dusty books for her birthday, and who once found herself poring over her roommate's 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because it was the only written material in the apartment that she had not read at least twice. This witty collection of essays recounts a lifelong love affair with books and language. For Fadiman, as for many passionate readers, the books she loves have become chapters in her own life story. Writing with remarkable grace, she revives the tradition of the well-crafted personal essay, moving easily from anecdotes about Coleridge and Orwell to tales of her own pathologically literary family. As someone who played at blocks with her father's 22-volume set of Trollope ("My Ancestral Castles") and who only really considered herself married when she and her husband had merged collections ("Marrying Libraries"), she is exquisitely well equipped to expand upon the art of inscriptions, the perverse pleasures of compulsive proof-reading, the allure of long words, and the satisfactions of reading out loud. There is even a foray into pure literary gluttony--Charles Lamb liked buttered muffin crumbs between the leaves, and Fadiman knows of more than one reader who literally consumes page corners. Perfectly balanced between humor and erudition, "Ex Libris" establishes Fadiman as one of our finest contemporary essayists.
这本书的副标题是——“一个普通读者的自白”。 作者安妮·法迪曼出生书香门第,父亲、母亲、哥哥、老公都是作家、学问家,家族藏书过万应该是没有问题的。这样的一个人谦称自己为普通读者,叫我们这些喜欢瞎看一气的三脚猫们情何以堪啊。 当然,她这么说也不是过分的谦虚,...
評分当安妮法迪曼的《书趣》中文译本还是newly published的时候,我因为封面和书名买下来,事实上那一整套书都很漂亮很讨人喜欢。书里第一篇essay就是 书的婚事 。我不记得那本书上留着我当时的什么感想,但此刻我觉得,那描述的是我能想到最浪漫的事。 二十多年前,我爸爸和我妈...
評分这本书我最早看的是繁体,简体出版我已经等了好多年了。 那时我还在上大学。我清楚的记得,对这本书的热爱让我在一个暑假跑到国图不外借的图书室里,一字一句的想要将它敲出来——影印每张要2块钱。 当然这和我所有的兴趣爱好一样,在持续了不到3章后就放弃了。 这么多年后...
評分无处不在的平淡中不时渗透出读书的乐趣、闪烁着人生的哲理。 “从书中醒来”,已经很久没有这种令人愉悦的感觉——那该是一种多么优雅的姿势——抬起眼皮,可以想象一下。 扉页题词?——从来也没有。互相赠送书籍真的是一种很高雅的表达关爱的方式。印象里,父亲送了一本新...
評分本书的作者和目标读者是同一群人,他们被叫做书迷、书痴或书虫(bibliophiles, bibliomania, book-worms)都可以,但绝对不是什么普通读者。普通读者可以喜欢言情武侠奇幻,也可以研读军事历史哲学,但只有《书趣》这样的书之书不会是普通读者的菜。读书之书的是那些狼吞虎咽地...
