From one of the most beloved authors of our time—more than six million copies of his books have been sold in this country alone—a fascinating excursion into the history behind the place we call home.
"Houses aren’t refuges from history. They are where history ends up."
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to “write a history of the world without leaving home.” The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.
Bill Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and he is a master at turning the seemingly isolated or mundane fact into an occasion for the most diverting exposition imaginable. His wit and sheer prose fluency make At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.
Bill Bryson’s books include A Walk in the Woods, I’m a Stranger Here Myself, In a Sunburned Country, Bryson’s Book of Troublesome Words, A Short History of Nearly Everything (which earned him the 2004 Aventis Prize), The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, and Bryson’s Dictionary for Writers and Editors. Bryson lives in England with his wife and children.
1. 以19世紀為分界綫,短短100多年間,人類的生活方式有瞭翻天覆地的變化;2.天朝如今麵臨的諸多社會與環境問題,與19世紀之前的英國有著若乾相似之處;3.以At Home 為主題切入固然有其優勢,但諸多材料之間缺乏直接聯係,讓人不禁産生一種文不對題的違和感【是因為很久沒碰Non Fiction瞭吧。

評分Interesting little histories and stories about things you see at home. Fun to read, though you kind of have to follow the author where his mind freely flows to.

房子既可能是怪黎叔,也可能是小萝莉,是个没有定型的装置。房屋因地理、文化环境及各国相关政策的不同,而显示出迥异的风格来。房子既可能是蜗居式胶囊公寓,也可能是宽阔的别墅牧场。万变不离其宗的一点是,房子里一定要有人。男男女女的吃喝拉撒、油盐酱醋调和成一首生活之...
