A young army captain who risked execution to swim from free-market Taiwan to Communist China. A barber who made $150 million in the gambling dens of Macau. The richest woman in China, a recycling tycoon known as the 'Wastepaper Queen'. Age of Ambition describes some of the billion individual lives that make up China's story - one that unfolds on remote farms, in glittering mansions, and in the halls of power of the world's largest authoritarian regime. Together they describe the defining clash taking place today: between the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. Here is a China infused with a sense of boundless possibility and teeming romance. Yet it is also riven by contradictions. It is the world's largest buyer of Rolls Royces and Ferraris yet the word 'luxury' is banned from billboards. It has more Christians than members of the Communist Party. And why does a government that has lifted more people from poverty than any other so strictly restrain freedom of expression? Based on years of research, Age of Ambition is a stunning narrative that reveals China as we have never understood it before.

我第一次听说欧逸文是因为他在《纽约客》上发表了一篇描写他参加春节的中国旅行团、体验中国特色的欧洲多国密集式大巴旅行的文章。这篇文章听起来就很让人好奇,为什么一个《纽约客》的美国记者想参加连很多中国人都心怀敬畏之心的高密度团欧洲大巴旅行团?他会有什么样的感受...
评分China’s Censored World By EVAN OSNOS MAY 2, 2014 In February, while I finished work on a book about China, a publishing company in Shanghai asked for an early copy, in order to begin a translation. The book follows people I’ve come to know, some prom...
评分五月份我參加了他的簽名會,他和電視里一樣英俊與犀利。 這本書也許對於一個不是中國人來說是一本很好的書,我理解他作為一個外國人努力的學習中國的語言與文化,他也成功看到了ZF與PEOPLE的分裂,但是我總是覺得仿佛缺失了什麼關於中國深刻的見地,只是在廣泛的描述一個問題...
评分5月的广州正值雨季,我们走在泥泞的贝岗小路上,前往一家咖啡店,在那里举行我们的第二期读书会。 我们没有费心为这个有七名成员的读书会想一个名字,因为明白这学期结束,大家就将各奔东西,寻找实习和工作,但我们还是想抓住最后一段时间,读一些“与找工作无关”的书。 这...
评分欧逸文的《野心时代》获得了2014年美国国家图书奖年度最佳非虚构类图书大奖,但是这本关于当代中国的书注定不可能在大陆出版,它包含了太多敏感词。 而敏感词,关于“审查”与“真相”正是这本书的重要主题之一。欧逸文跟踪记录和采访了诸如艾未未、陈光诚、韩寒以及一位不能...
一口气看完的第一本原著
评分Cross the river by feeling for the stones -- Deng" ——"AGE OF AMBITION" by Even Osnos 「寫得蠻好的其實,畢竟作者住在中國那麼多年,但無論是新近看的『Chinese Rules』或是這本都沒有之前的『尋路中國』系列好看,也許是相關的書看太多了,寫來寫去總是繞不開那些事件。」
评分算是一本口水书吧,将逻辑上不很连贯的几个人的故事拼接在一起组成的。如果喜欢时事的,特别是敏感时事的可以看看,但总体来看像本报告文学,缺乏必要的深度。不推荐购买。
