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.
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.

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。
评分已经并不足以启发我什么了,只是感觉野心强大的人太过于可怕,但飞黄腾达的也必得是这种人。
评分He should continue. So many new topics since last summer.
评分每次写稿都要拿出来观摩的书,我现在还是在模仿阶段,可越模仿越看到差距,这需要经验,学识和时间来弥补。
评分有助于了解外国人对中国的看法 内容丰富
讀完整本書後,我不免有些傷感。 作為《紐約客》的駐京記者,歐逸文很自然會被讀者拿來同他的前任何偉比較。他們兩者的風格不一,何偉的文章顯然完全深入了他採訪對象的生活,而歐逸文則擅長在宏觀層面考慮問題。若是要我給個答案,我會覺得何偉的著作更值得反復閱讀。但問題...
评分I hesitated to do a review for a lot of reasons, not least because I skipped some of the chapters towards the end of this book. Yet I think Mr. Osnos must ask himself: To whom, and for what purpose, did he write this book? If this is simply an anthology o...
评分这个时代,与其说是野心,不如说是迷茫。表面上看,大家唯成功论,“捉到老鼠就是好猫”,有钱,有车,有房。各种比拼优越感的时代。形形色色的面具之下其实虚掩的则是一种无知的危机感,迷茫,迷失甚至沦丧。适时的自我催眠,正能量,积极向上,凡事都要看到好的方面,努力求...
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______________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...
