Evan Osnos joined The New Yorker as a staff writer in 2008. He was the magazine's correspondent in China, where he lived in a restored house in Beijing north of the Forbidden City, from 2005 until 2013 when he moved to Washington, D.C. He has received many prizes, including the Asia Society's Osborn Elliott Prize for Excellence in Journalism on Asia and the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. Osnos previously worked as the Beijing Bureau Chief of the Chicago Tribune, where he contributed to a series that won a 2008 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting.
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.
他在书本的开头说,作为一位在中国居住多年的外国人,他意识到自己在思考和写作时很容易会陷入对比和批判模式,把在中国看到的一切和自己的祖国美国对比。但是,他更希望自己摘下有色眼镜, 试用中国人的方式记下这一切。 的确。在读这些文章的过程,我确实感受到他的用心:他...
评分最近读书不多,除了看完全套银河系漫游指南之外,就是这本欧逸文Evan Osnos的《野心时代》。欧逸文继何伟之后任《纽约客》驻中国的记者,所以基本上所有人都会拿他们比较下。我觉得他们俩最好的地方是特别中立,都不急着给事情下判断,都试图深入一点,看到中国纷繁复杂的表象...
评分______________LZ好人一生平安告诉大家怎么买书:去亚马逊美国站买Kindle版。接受外国信用卡。不谢。 Evan Osnos于2014年5月14日在Asia Society就新书Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China与亚洲协会中美关系研究中心主任Orville Schell对谈...
评分想必,在这个世界上,没有哪个国家的人像中国人一样,这么关注外国人怎么看自己的吧? 因此,一大票的洋和尚纷至沓来,各自开始念起灵感得益于中国这片神奇土地的“经”。 基辛格那么老辣,可是在On China(看中国)里仍然能窥见到他因为与中国有着千丝万缕的联系,而以此拥有...
评分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...
那些年我知道的事和我不知道的细节。私译名是“狂望时代”,欲望,希望和失望皆张狂的年代。作者连贯的叙事逻辑有效解决了多重跳跃叙事易造成的碎片化问题,确实写得一手好文章。
评分保持了最大程度的客观与克制
评分虽然欧逸文和彼得·海斯勒写得都是中国社会观察,但欧逸文是典型的记者,重在客观观察、向西方社会揭示他所在的八年中国社会的核心变化,那也无怪乎他提取的都是一些重大事件,熟练于翻墙的中国读者难免觉得他冷漠以及老生常谈。但尽管如此,他还是提供了许多我不知道的细节,以及因为此书追踪到2013年,相比彼得·海斯勒所写的90年代的江城、陈梦家的经历,许多事件和评书更有切身体会。 而彼得·海斯勒更像是创作者,《甲骨文》一书最为显著,即使串写中国社会几十年的变迁,也有意识挑选并不广为人所知的个体入手,并在写作技巧上有明显的打磨,几条线索反复穿插,但思路明晰,也不显素材堆砌(这一点欧逸文差太远,或者说意不在此),我想这就是所谓创作者的自觉。
评分澳洲买的,读了很久。这个时代的中国有自己的野心,好像每个人也有自己的野心。让我们很难安心在生活里
评分有助于了解外国人对中国的看法 内容丰富
