彼得·阿克罗伊德,1949年生于伦敦东阿克顿,英国传记作家、小说家和评论家,著有《莎士比亚传》《牛顿传》《狄更斯传》等五十多部作品,曾获惠特布雷德传记奖和英国皇家文学会威廉•海涅曼奖。《名利场》杂志称誉道:“倘若伦敦能够给自己选一位传记作家,它肯定会选彼得•阿克罗伊德。”
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...
评分伦敦,起于英格兰平原之上,卧于泰晤士河之侧,大不列颠联合王国之首都也,欧罗巴最大之城市也,盎格鲁撒克逊人之老巢也。呜呼,伦敦即英国也,英国即伦敦也,故而有英伦之响称! 在《伦敦传》开头,阿克罗伊德就开门见山地写道,“伦敦是一具人体……其头颅为耶稣基督,余下部...
评分(刊于《凤凰都市》杂志2016年8月号) 为伟大城市立传从来不是一件容易的事。英国伦敦堪称“城市中的城市”,它不仅有光荣的历史,经历过时代的洗礼,也孕育了一整套现代城市建设和管理的思维及方法。这样首屈一指的城市,当今的“全球城市”之一,创造出的文化也是无数人的精...
评分欧洲中世纪有一句谚语:“城市的空气使人自由(Stadt Luft macht frei)。”乍一听,这完全不符合事实。城市空气是污浊、恶臭的,满街粪便污水横流,楼上居民窗口倒马桶。居民在自家后院堆积垃圾杂物,托马斯·莫尔曾担任治安副官后,对伦敦的肮脏深有体会,他在著作《乌托邦》里...
