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.
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.
翻译的词语感觉比较精准,但是读起来并不是很易懂,因为语言逻辑和语境很奇怪,这是事实。配图有意思。功能性满足,视觉太粗糙,都有点恶心了。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。...
評分每一部小说被翻拍成影视剧的时候,总是会招来很多的议论,特别是这本小说有很大的读者群的话,所带来的议论也会更激烈。拍摄方所选出来的角色,永远不可能让所有人都满意,总有人喜欢,有人不喜欢。有的人觉得这个人很适合演这个角色,他就是我心中的某某某;也会有人觉得,他...
評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...
評分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,...
評分我没有考虑过,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...
說實話看不太懂。。。
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.
评分很有意思的一本書吧,但內容真沒有感觸,看完也就僅僅是看過瞭,倒是裏麵講到的書我都挺感興趣的_(:з」∠)_
评分說實話看不太懂。。。
评分真的很棒啊,來自於圖書設計師的閱讀感受。文字配閤上圖畫綫條等等排版裝幀設計元素,跟著作者我還列瞭一串書單,因為不再是純文字羅列纔三個小時在嘈雜的咖啡圖書館看完,看完後又陷入瞭對讀書的巨大熱情,也是很好的“刺激”瞭
