London 在线电子书 图书描述

Amazon.co.uk Review

When the eminent novelist and biographer Peter Ackroyd finished writing London: The Biography, he almost immediately had a heart attack, such was the effort of his 800-page work about the "human body" that is this most fascinating of cities. And not just any human body either, but "envisaged in the form of a young man with his arms outstretched in a gesture of liberation... it embodies the energy and exaltation of a city continually beating in great waves of progress and of confidence."

Probably there is no one better placed than Ackroyd--the author of mammoth lives of Dickens and Blake, and novels such as Hawksmoor and Dan Leno and the Lime House Golem which set singular characters against the backdrop of a city constantly shifting in time--to write such a rich, sinewy account of "Infinite London".

Ackroyd's London is no mere chronology. Its chapters take on such varied themes as drinking, sex, childhood, poverty, crime and punishment, sewage, food, pestilence and fire, immigration, maps, theatre and war. We learn that gin was "the demon of London for half a century", and that "it has been estimated that in the 1740s and 1750s there were 17,000 'gin-houses'." Fleet Street was an area known for its "violent delights" where "a 14-year-old boy, only 18 inches high, was to be seen in 1702 at a grocer's shop called the Eagle and Child by Shoe Lane." By the mid 19th century "London had become known as the greatest city on earth." By 1939 "one in five of the British population had become a Londoner."

Though London's chapters vary meaning that it can be dipped into at random, Ackroyd is employing a skilful and continuous theme throughout, which constantly links past and present--the similarities of children's games in Lambeth in 1910 and 1999; the obsession with time--"in 21st-century London time rushes forward and is everywhere apparent", while in 18th-century London the church clock of Newgate "regulated the times of hanging." Above all, he insists that the "dark secret life" of the metropolis is as relevant today as it was in perhaps its most appropriate period, Victorian London.

Again and again Ackroyd returns to the image of London as a living organism, hence his use of the word "biography" in the title. At once awed by and intimate with this "ubiquitous" city, he stresses that "it can be located nowhere in particular... its circumference is everywhere." –-Catherine Taylor

London 在线电子书 读后感

评分

《伦敦传》!捧在手里很重很重,六百多页,打算用4-5天的时间啃掉。一口气读了近二百页,对远古、中世纪的伦敦有了进一步的了解,原来伦敦所处的地方在人类新时期时代后期就已有,从伦敦城的地下和砖上还能看到远古时候的海洋痕迹,甚至还有猛犸象的遗迹,太让人吃惊和开眼界了...

欧洲中世纪有一句谚语:“城市的空气使人自由(Stadt Luft macht frei)。”乍一听,这完全不符合事实。城市空气是污浊、恶臭的,满街粪便污水横流,楼上居民窗口倒马桶。居民在自家后院堆积垃圾杂物,托马斯·莫尔曾担任治安副官后,对伦敦的肮脏深有体会,他在著作《乌托邦》里...

第一次听说这本书,是在参加某著名作家新书发布会后。他说,因为《伦敦传》,激发了他创作一部他生活的城市传记的欲望。听罢此言,我心想,笔耕了大半辈子的老作家了,什么样的书没有读过什么样的文章没有写过?居然还能有一本书触发他的创作灵感,!这本书,一定是一本了不起...

在不久前的英国脱欧公投中,整个英格兰只有为数不多的几块地方支持留在欧盟,诸如牛津、剑桥和伦敦。对此,一个简单的解释是:那是因为当地人大多本能地意识到自己并不仅仅属于英国,而是更广阔世界的一部分。就像卡尔·波兰尼在《大转型》中谈及早期现代的情形时所感慨的:“...
