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.

最近随意地读。 书是好书,翻译却有待改进:无论是文笔、措辞还是忠于原作。 第四章最后一节把孔子的“LI”翻译成“理”,叫人难以原谅。
評分这本书的开头,提及艾撒亚·伯林(Isaiah Berlin)的一段话。BBC在伯林临死前不久采访他,问他这漫长的一生中,最大的惊奇是什么。伯林说,最大的惊奇是“我这么平静,这么幸福地亲历了这么多的恐怖。世界经历了有史以来最糟糕的一个世纪:粗暴的非人性,人类...
評分我认为所有大学生,所有关注现代世界的人都应该阅读这本书。20世纪中国没有思想,21世纪靠你们了。 做了一个豆列,列出书中涉及的主要书目,除了部分找不到译本的。 http://book.douban.com/doulist/589062/
