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
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...
评分我没有考虑过，当我们阅读时，我们看到了什么，嗅到了什么，听到了什么。我一直是放任他们在脑子里随意流动，带我走到哪里，我就走到哪里，任由他勾起无数的回忆与幻想。 Peter Mendelsund 认真的考虑了这个问题，还画出了我们看到什么的可能性，仅仅是可能性，因为每个人想象...
评分阅读是一种怎样的体验？从来没有认真想过这个问题，因为觉得过于抽象，难以用文字来表述。彼得•门德尔桑德的这本书试图用文字加图解的方式解答这个抽象的问题，但他在书的开头也承认了这一目标的虚妄：“我们阅读时会沉浸其中，愈是沉浸其中，愈是难以在此时此刻用我们的分...
评分买下这本书好久好久了，几乎有好几年了吧。一直没有系统的读。正好国庆假期，落单了，刷手机越刷越心慌，于是决定看书，随手拿起了这本书，没想到，一下午两个多小时看完了，很久没有这么流畅的阅读体验了，毕竟是一本讲阅读的书，对阅读本身的阅读，读起来有很多共鸣。 书中举...

用户评价
随意又漂亮。但是不算很同意部分观点。
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?”
评分另外，也并不欣赏他的书籍设计
评分真的很棒啊，来自于图书设计师的阅读感受。文字配合上图画线条等等排版装帧设计元素，跟着作者我还列了一串书单，因为不再是纯文字罗列才三个小时在嘈杂的咖啡图书馆看完，看完后又陷入了对读书的巨大热情，也是很好的“刺激”了
评分其实更像是一部 Mendelsund 个人的笔记，记录了他本人对阅读机制的一些感想，比较随意，当然也失之严谨。虽然文字稍次，但设计相当漂亮，非常符合他封面设计师的个性啊哈哈。
