具体描述
One of the most widely admired writers of our time returns us to the captivating play and narrative allure of his previous novels—G. and To the Wedding among them—with a shimmering fiction drawn from chapters of his own life.
One hot afternoon in Lisbon, our narrator, John, finds his mother, who had died fifteen years earlier, seated on a park bench. “The dead don’t stay where they are buried,” she tells him. And so begins a remarkable odyssey, told in simple yet gorgeous prose and with the openness to personal and political currents that has always marked John Berger’s work.
Having promised his mother that he will henceforth pay close attention to the dead, John takes us to a woman’s bed during the 1943 bombardment of London, to a Polish market where carrier pigeons are sold, to a Paleolithic cave, to the Ritz Hotel in Madrid. Along the way, we meet an English aristocrat who always drives barefoot, a pedophile schoolmaster, a Spanish sculptor who cheats at poker, and Rosa Luxemburg, among other long-gone presences, and John lets us choose to love each of them as much as he still does.
This is a unique literary journey in which a writer’s life and work are inseparable: a fiction but not a conventional novel, a narration in the author’s voice but not a memoir, a portrait that moves freely through time and space but never loses its foothold in the present, a confession that brings with it not regret but a rich deepening of sensual and emotional understanding.

读后感
“深秋的下午，给人一种白日时光明显缩短的凄凉之感。里面有种无法赎回的东西。” 带着这样一份凄凉，白发男子摊开一张纹路和字迹都已模糊的地图。不过，他好像不在乎这些，他的眼睛都已闭上。这时候，吱呀声慢慢推开房门。男子睁开眼睛，用眼神迎接走进来的客人。 ...
评分在一个出版物价格等同于印刷材料的时代，能看到像《我们在此相遇》这样的书是何其幸运。 也就是说，这种书是最值得被购买，被阅读，被作为纸质书尊重的。 每一句话都值得咀嚼，然后合上书想象它的更多可能性。 也可以随时从书的中段挑一段读。情节的弱化和情怀的绵延，让它有了...
评分读完《我们在此相遇》，好像是什么也没读到，回去翻了翻，这是约翰伯格作品里豆瓣评分最高的一本。所以要写下些语句才能静下心来回忆书中的让你相遇心动的时刻。 选择这本还是喜欢约翰伯格地质学的书写范式，只不过相同的时间和空间，却被他赋予了故去的人物和想象的故事，记...
评分西方左翼浪漫精神的真正传人 ——梁文道谈约翰•伯格之一 说明：约翰•伯格，当今世界最重要的写作者与知识分子之一，其在文学、艺术批评、时政评论等方面的成就与影响，尚待中文读者进一步认知。借《我们在此相遇》中文版出版之机，我们邀请著名公共知识分子梁文道先生...
评分起初只是被封面的电车吸引，似乎暗示着一段不坏的旅程。 害怕回忆录，因为一般的回忆录里充满了自恋和错误的记忆。 但这次没有以上弊端，更多的是克制。行云流水之间，细碎的片段变成珍珠，也许光芒没有钻石激昂，却温柔地招引着我们。 书后，梁文道说，这是“地志类”的写...
用户评价
最喜欢的段落：“There is a lift in it and the lift goes nowhere really. It takes people up, they take a look around from the platform and then it brings them down again. Owned by the tramway company. Now, a film, John, can do the same thing. It takes you up and brings you back to the same place. That's one of the reasons why people cry in the cinema."
评分没看完????不喜欢
评分非常喜欢这种安静 娓娓道来的叙说方式 读的时候总让我想到读川端康成的感觉
评分"Women always wonder about other lives, most men are too ambitious to understand this."这是阅读的女性高于男性的原因吗？很少有作者的作品能够像John Berger那般丰富。这既是一本由多个时空流淌交错的故事所组成的小说，同时又讲了一个有关storytelling的故事。
评分当年的冲动消费，如今一拿起就放不下
