Here are two thousand years of London’s history and folklore, its chroniclers and criminals and plain citizens, its food and drink and countless pleasures. Blackfriar’s and Charing Cross, Paddington and Bedlam. Westminster Abbey and St. Martin in the Fields. Cockneys and vagrants. Immigrants, peasants, and punks. The Plague, the Great Fire, the Blitz. London at all times of day and night, and in all kinds of weather. In well-chosen anecdotes, keen observations, and the words of hundreds of its citizens and visitors, Ackroyd reveals the ingenuity and grit and vitality of London. Through a unique thematic tour of the physical city and its inimitable soul, the city comes alive.

评分第一次听说这本书,是在参加某著名作家新书发布会后。他说,因为《伦敦传》,激发了他创作一部他生活的城市传记的欲望。听罢此言,我心想,笔耕了大半辈子的老作家了,什么样的书没有读过什么样的文章没有写过?居然还能有一本书触发他的创作灵感,!这本书,一定是一本了不起...
