Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. Settled in England for many years, he moved to America with his wife and four children for a few years, but has since returned to live in the UK. His bestselling travel books include The Lost Continent, Notes From a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods and Down Under. His acclaimed work of popular science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Aventis Prize and the Descartes Prize, and was the biggest selling non-fiction book of the decade in the UK.
Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither Here nor There he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein.
七年前看过的书现在竟然一点印象都没有!真的崩溃。最近在看英文版电子书竟然如新!2013年我还记得去墨尔本的时候手捧他的《走遍烤焦国》.......时光荏苒,一转眼已是六年!而我也为人夫,为人父!很开心!据说这本书是他的抗鼎之作,但是我竟忘得一干二净。很是惭愧!经过六年...
评分我是从看到布鲁日开始喜欢这本书的。前部分的翻译不是我喜欢的风格。但越到后面越有趣,人有趣,文字有趣。 “比尔•布莱森之所以能在二十世纪的旅游文学中占据一席之地,并成为目前世界公认的最有趣的旅游文学作家,是因为他擅长用不同的眼光来看待他所游历的世界,他真切地...
评分第一次读到这本书,是十五岁时英文课本里要求背诵的一篇文章节选,那时觉得作者的文字好美,那一段是描写他在西西里附近的Capri岛上,天色将晚,独自观望远处山丘倾泻下的灯火,脚下就是悬崖与大海。作者写道: “The sea was so far below that the sound of breakin...
评分原来这本书,bill bryson写于1992年啊,到现在快20年了。 书里有些内容有些景象肯定有了很多变化啊。 不过有些搞笑的地方比如丸子集体跳水啊,意大利面和你博弈啊,让我回想起来还是有笑点。 游记这种书,还是亲身去过一趟以后看起来更有感触啊,不然一路读下来云里雾里的。 总...
评分看一本书之前先去找找前人对它的评价是我的一个习惯,不知道能不能算是迷信或者是坏毛病。布莱森的书是在一期杂志上被推荐的,作为整体被杂志介绍给读者,有《东西莫辩逛欧洲》、《失落的小不列颠》等等。文章似乎对布莱森的书作过点评和排序的,但是我忘了,所以在书架...
