Terrible Beauty presents a unique narrative of the twentieth century. Unlike more conventional histories, where the focus is on political events and personalities, on wars, treaties and elections, this book concentrates on the ideas that made the century so rich, rewarding and provocative. Beginning with four seminal ideas which were introduced in 1900 - the unconscious, the gene, the quantum and Picasso's first paintings in Paris - the book brings together the main areas of thought and juxtaposes the most original and influential ideas of our time in an immensely readable narrative. From the creation of plastic to Norman Mailer, from the discovery of the 'Big Bang' to the Counterculture, from Relativity to Susan Sontag, from Proust to Salman Rushdie, and Henri Bergson to Saul Bellow, the book's range is encyclopedic. We meet in these pages the other twentieth century, the writers, the artists, the scientists and philosophers who were not cowed by the political and military disasters raging around them, and produced some of the most amazing and rewarding ideas by which we live. Terrible Beauty, endlessly stimulating and provocative, affirms that there was much more to the twentieth century than war and genocide.

五天,读完。 先来【勘误】 1⃣️p176 “宾厄姆吓得只能四脚着地地爬过桥去。”英文原版表达是: Bingham was so terrified that he crawled across on all fours。 所以应该翻译成“四肢着地”更合适吧。 2⃣️p322 “但美国人捅入法国首都的现象。。”英文原文表达:...
评分在我看来,本书最大的价值在于它相当于一本导读。通过它,可以知道有哪些书是需要进一步阅读的。 当然这并不意味着本书相当于“一生要读的一千本世界名著”之类的东西。对整个二十世纪的思想史做一个全景介绍,其难度要比介绍若干本世界名著大许多吧。 本书总体来说翻译的不错...
评分我总觉得,写这样一本思想史的大书是很多知识分子的梦想。但很少有人有足够勇气把它变成现实。沃森一个人把它写了出来,900多页,110万字,所以我把他看作是司马迁、吉本一样的知识英雄。 既然是史书,就得先考虑撰述体例。绝大多数史书都会按照历史顺序来陈述,毕竟时间之箭...
