Christopher Hitchens is a popular author, columnist, editor, and book critic. He writes regularly for numerous publications, including The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, Granta, and Harper's. His most recent books are Blood, Class and Empire and A Long Short War. He lives in Washington, DC.

Exploring the entire range of "contrary positions" from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt, Hitchens introduces the next generation to the minds and the misfits who inspire him --- invoking such mentors as Emile Zola, Rosa Parks, and George Orwell. As is his trademark, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast to stagnant traditions across the ideological spectrum. There is no one writing today with a greater understanding of the importance of disagreement --- to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress, to democracy itself.

在密集看一些中国历史的间隙里抽身出来读了这一本,现在多少能理解鲁迅先生为什么劝青年少读,或干脆不要读古书
评分Always look to the language. Question the obvious and the given. Keep your powder dry, your eyes open, and your mind skeptical.
评分在想自己到底要长成怎样一种人的当下读读真好!只是还不够勇敢当愤青。

评分3.5 鸡汤浓度不够 鸡血也不太够用 知识和见解有一些但很单薄且埋在整个过于散漫的结构里
