Tony Judt was educated at King's College, Cambridge and the École Normale Supérieure, Paris, and taught at Cambridge, Oxford, and Berkeley. He was the Erich Maria Remarque Professor of European Studies at New York University, in addition to being the Director of the Remarque Institute, which is dedicated to the study of Europe and which he founded in 1995.
The author or editor of fourteen books, Professor Judt was a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, The New Republic, The New York Times and many other journals in Europe and the United States. Professor Judt is the author of Ill Fares the Land, Reappraisals: Reflections on the Forgotten Twentieth Century, and Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945, which was one of The New York Times Book Review’s Ten Best Books of 2005, winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He died in August 2010 at the age of sixty-two.
" It might be thought the height of poor taste to ascribe good fortune to a healthy man with a young family struck down at the age of sixty by an incurable degenerative disorder from which he must shortly die. But there is more than one sort of luck. To fall prey to a motor neuron disease is surely to have offended the Gods at some point, and there is nothing more to be said. But if you must suffer thus, better to have a well-stocked head." -Tony Judt
The Memory Chalet is a memoir unlike any you have ever read before. Each essay charts some experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning. Memories of the 1968 student riots of Paris meander through the divergent sex politics of Europe, before concluding that his generation "was a revolutionary generation, but missed the revolution." A series of road trips across America lead not just to an appreciation of American history, but to an eventual acquisition of citizenship. Foods and trains and long-lost smells all compete for Judt's attention; but for us, he has forged his reflections into an elegant arc of analysis. All as simply and beautifully arranged as a Swiss chalet-a reassuring refuge deep in the mountains of memory.
﹣一本十分優雅的小書。 ﹣談的是過去的歐美,不是系統性的文章,但從片斷中還是會讀到十分有意思的片斷。 ﹣看這本書時,確實會想起了霍布斯邦的《趣味橫生的時代》,當然後者要厚重很多。而這本作為作者病重時的回憶文章,沒有了那麼多的責任與分析,卻透露著作者的智慧與...
評分知识分子从来都害怕失去表达的能力,如同他们害怕面对一个被禁锢的世界,害怕一个停滞或倒退的社会出现。作为研究战后欧洲历史最重要的学者,托尼朱特亦复如此。他与物理学家霍金患有同样的疾病(肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症)。他将此自喻为“越来越彻底的、无法被假释的监禁...
評分对抗时间的方式包括记忆与书写。 这是一本内容上并不厚重的传记(因为作者没人没有惊心动魄的往事),但是一本情感上粘稠带着悲伤情绪的传记(因为是作者生前的最后一本书,在写完序言的三个月之后就去世了)。 作者拥有冷静,理智,严密的思维。在脑海中搭建建筑物的文学创...
評分总要做点事情来度过艰难的第二百天。于是敲了半天字。 身份的复杂是朱特的一大优势,让他的视野不受很多难以意识到的观念的左右。祖父母从沙皇俄国移民到比利时,缺乏传统意义上的身份意识;父亲出生于安特卫普。外祖父、外祖母来自俄国和罗马尼亚,对这两个国家却并不了解,移...
評分源网址:http://dajia.qq.com/blog/394817103103946 《记忆小屋》是我去年最喜欢的书之一,托尼·朱特也是我最崇拜的历史学家之一。 他是当代最重要的欧洲思想研究者,《战后欧州史》、《沉疴遍地》等名著都是很难超越的思想大作,2009年,因其“智慧、洞察力和非凡的勇气”...
