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.
欧洲一直是我的梦想,相信也是很多人的梦想,当初就是被欧洲两字吸引购买的本书,但内容远超我意料的吸引。并不是因为书里描写的风景多美好,事实上,每一本游记类书,读者所获得的快感只能靠意淫。而比尔·布莱森给予我的,只是一次纯粹的个人旅游经历,与畅销书无关,与国界...
評分说明:之前没看过Bill Bryson的书,这本《东西莫辩逛欧洲》也只看了第五章“布鲁塞尔”和第六章“比利时”。本文在旧文(指出译者将第一两段中的 “Dutch”都译成了“德语”等问题)基础上进一步比较了原文和中译,提出几点浅见。当然,整体来看,这两篇译文质量实属上乘,行文...
評分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...

評分原来这本书,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...
