具体描述
A San Francisco Chronicle and Kirkus Best Book of the Year
A gorgeously unique, fully illustrated exploration into the phenomenology of reading—how we visualize images from reading works of literature, from one of our very best book jacket designers, himself a passionate reader.
What do we see when we read? Did Tolstoy really describe Anna Karenina? Did Melville ever really tell us what, exactly, Ishmael looked like? The collection of fragmented images on a page—a graceful ear there, a stray curl, a hat positioned just so—and other clues and signifiers helps us to create an image of a character. But in fact our sense that we know a character intimately has little to do with our ability to concretely picture our beloved—or reviled—literary figures. In this remarkable work of nonfiction, Knopf's Associate Art Director Peter Mendelsund combines his profession, as an award-winning designer; his first career, as a classically trained pianist; and his first love, literature—he considers himself first and foremost as a reader—into what is sure to be one of the most provocative and unusual investigations into how we understand the act of reading.
作者简介
Peter Mendelsund is the associate art director of Alfred A. Knopf and a recovering classical pianist. His designs have been described by The Wall Street Journal as being “the most instantly recognizable and iconic book covers in contemporary fiction.” He lives in New York.

读后感
整本书都在牵引着我们的想象力，文字加上有视觉冲击力的图片，突然让我们开始思考阅读时的问题。把书名补全后，还原了阅读时的体验。以前读小说的时候有这样的体验，主角到底是什么样子，每个人头脑里主角的样子都一样吗？还有，主角说的是什么语言？（特别是主角是外国人的，...
评分欢迎关注每周读书微信号：MapleJustin 为什么基于原著改编的电影电视剧总是无法满足书迷读者？为什么看习惯了漫画之后第一次看到动画的时候觉得配音演员的声线好奇怪？当我们阅读小说的时候，我们自以为看清了人物的样貌，我们倾慕于小龙女的清丽脱俗，我们沉湎于黄蓉的古怪...
评分一本好书，能脑中幻化出星云，头顶蒸腾出雾气。 从技转道而后又回归技术，这本书从内容到设计可以说是高度统一，先不管内容，从文字到图片再到排版设计的风格高度一致就能让人佩服，这首先是一个技术活，设计从业者才能够感受到的高山仰止。 其次再说内容，虽然书里有些理论我...
评分P141 所以当我们赞赏“观察细致”的文章时，是在称赞它用思想唤起驰骋心绪的效力，还是它手法本身的美感？ P146 但描述是不能叠加的。 然而，视像，却是可以叠加的、同时发生的。 P154 More coloful equals less authentic（真切的）. 作品在接连不断的画面的重负下一次次趔趄...
评分一、描绘 当我们阅读时，我们是否能清晰地想象出自己最喜欢的人物角色？莎士比亚说，一个深受喜爱的人物对于读者来说就如同在心中“描绘”（bodied forth）出来一样。我们常常觉得，一部小说成败的关键在于它塑造的人物是否栩栩如生。但我们真的能准确描画中安娜•卡列尼娜的...
用户评价
很有意思的一本书吧，但内容真没有感触，看完也就仅仅是看过了，倒是里面讲到的书我都挺感兴趣的_(:з」∠)_
评分适合英语国家teenager读
评分What we are observing is not the thing itself, but the tools we have constructed to observe that thing. Like the metaphor of “floating on the margin of the ensuing scene” when describing the immersive drift of reading.
评分真的是想到哪儿写到哪儿，有的地方在写读者的体验，有的地方在写作家的技巧和方法，有的地方又好像在讨论语言学。因为作者本身是书籍设计师，所以觉得对解读文本构筑图像也很有看法，大概对画插画也有帮助。最喜欢的是分析阅读体验和讨论读者的参与性的部分
评分另外，也并不欣赏他的书籍设计
