Like many of his generation, Bill Bryson backpacked across Europe in the early seventies -- in search of enlightenment, beer, and women. Twenty years later he decided to retrace the journey he undertook in the halcyon days of his youth. The result is Neither Here Nor There, an affectionate and riotously funny pilgrimage from the frozen wastes of Scandinavia to the chaotic tumult of Istanbul, with stops along the way in Europe's most diverting and historic locales.

比尔•布莱森,世界知名的非虚构作家,1951年出生于美国艾奥瓦州,曾任职于伦敦《泰晤士报》与《独立报》,同时也为《纽约时报》、《国家地理杂志》等刊物撰文。作品主要包括旅游类随笔、幽默独特的科普作品——比如《万物简史》、《母语》等等,横跨多种领域,皆为非学院派的幽默之作。他的作品诙谐嘲谑的风格堪称一绝、整体上举重若轻,能让普通读者产生很强的认同感,不失为雅俗共赏的典范,深受读者喜爱,也获得很高的评价,每部作品均高踞美、英、加畅销排行榜前茅。
比尔•布莱森之所以能在二十世纪的旅游文学中占据一席之地,并成为目前世界公认的最有趣的旅游文学作家,是因为他擅长用不同的眼光来看待他所游历的世界,他真切地捕捉到了一个旅人的内心感受。自然地理、生活情趣、社会时态,布莱森信手拈来无不奇趣,使普通读者产生很强的认同感。他的尖刻加上他的博学,让他的文字充满了智慧、机敏和幽默。作为在英国生活了二十多年的美国人,他的作品又兼具了开朗风趣、绝不怕粗俗的美式调侃和冷峻犀利、一针见血的英式嘲讽。
原来这本书,bill bryson写于1992年啊,到现在快20年了。 书里有些内容有些景象肯定有了很多变化啊。 不过有些搞笑的地方比如丸子集体跳水啊,意大利面和你博弈啊,让我回想起来还是有笑点。 游记这种书,还是亲身去过一趟以后看起来更有感触啊,不然一路读下来云里雾里的。 总...
评分第一次读到这本书,是十五岁时英文课本里要求背诵的一篇文章节选,那时觉得作者的文字好美,那一段是描写他在西西里附近的Capri岛上,天色将晚,独自观望远处山丘倾泻下的灯火,脚下就是悬崖与大海。作者写道: “The sea was so far below that the sound of breakin...
评分看一本书之前先去找找前人对它的评价是我的一个习惯,不知道能不能算是迷信或者是坏毛病。布莱森的书是在一期杂志上被推荐的,作为整体被杂志介绍给读者,有《东西莫辩逛欧洲》、《失落的小不列颠》等等。文章似乎对布莱森的书作过点评和排序的,但是我忘了,所以在书架...
评分旅行从来就是快乐而单纯的,背起行囊,捧着地图,即刻出发。 整本书洋溢了Bill的那些“上不了档次”的小幽默,那些暗地里只能自家想想的阿Q精神,多少次让笑点不算低的我忍不住大笑不止。无比庆幸,这是在无人的家中,若是在书香阵阵的图书馆或是其他些公共场所,怕...
评分If you have a sense of humor, I bet you'll love this book. I bought it from Chaterhouse Booktraders in Shanghai, and finished it during the New Year holidays. He started this European trip from the northern-most city of Hammerfest, and finished at Istanbul...
9.I really,really enjoy the process reading it.
评分想了想,不能给5分,虽然真的很好看。我们对欧洲有时有种莫名的推崇,而从一个西方人眼里去观察欧洲,就有了不同的角度,甚好甚乐。bill笔下的欧洲,也象中国人一样,有的官僚,有的不知感恩,有的不人性化,所以,看来全世界人民都一样,我们也不要太贬低自己把吧
评分always deemed a sense of self-deprecation and a modest dose of snarky observations essential in travel books however cant stand him being excessively paranoid and complaining at any possible chance informative if you want to know what it feels like travelling across Europe as a grumpy tourist
评分9.I really,really enjoy the process reading it.
评分truly 'transatlantic' humor
