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
这本书讲了什么： 画画 当我们讨论阅读体验时，其实是在讨论过往的阅读记忆。* 恰恰是那些文本没有阐明的东西，吸引了我们的想象力。 生动性 对于细节的描写，应当关注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。 演绎 我们的头脑将散落的碎片加以整合，从区...

评分文/夏丽柠 随着时代进步，“阅读”的能力早已被普及。几乎没有人还像张爱玲笔下的小艾，苦苦等到丈夫金槐来信时，非要出去求人念一遍才懂。读书，成了丰富我们精神世界，增加幸福指数的武器。原来，读书是这么好的事！ 可是，有个叫彼得•门德尔桑德的美国人，他大声抗议：...
评分《当我们阅读时，我们看到了什么》的作者彼得·门德尔桑德是著名书籍装帧设计师，他的设计被《华尔街日报》形容是“当代小说封面中最具辨识度与代表性的设计”。本书由他亲自操刀，封面是黑底金色衬着透明钥匙孔，仿佛是通往阅读的密道，打开它，就开启了阅读之谜的密码锁。 ...
评分早在几年前， Mendelsund 就在博客上撰写了长篇的随笔，探讨阅读与视觉意象之间的关系。这个主题来源于一次与友人的谈话，他发觉，读者理所当然地以为业已镌刻在脑海中的文学人物形象，实际上并不那么清晰。最典型的例子莫过于《安娜·卡列尼娜》的读者实验：看过这本书的读者...
用户评价
作者本人的人设很无敌，又萌又在举手投足间有Leon的神态。星星眼。
评分给了我一个全新的视角去理解作品
评分"What do we see when we read(other than the words on the pages)?" asks Peter Mendelsund in a welcome and fascinating new book. Or more precisely, “What do we picture in our minds?”
评分Quite a sense of design.
评分随意又漂亮。但是不算很同意部分观点。
