比尔·布莱森,世界知名的非虚构作家,1951年出生于美国艾奥瓦州,曾任职于伦敦《泰晤士报》与《独立报》,同时也为《纽约时报》、《国家地理杂志》等撰文。作品主要包括旅游类随笔、幽默独特的科普作品——比如《万物简史》、《母语》等等,横跨多种领域,皆为非学院派的幽默之作。他的作品诙谐嘲谑的风格堪称一绝,整体上举重若轻,能让普通读者产生很强的认同感,不失为雅俗共赏的典范,深受读者喜爱,也获得很高的评价。每部作品均高踞美国、英国、加拿大畅销排行榜前茅。
比尔·布莱森之所以能在二十世纪的旅游文学中占据一席之地,并成为目前世界公认的最有趣的旅游文学作家,是因为他擅长用不同的眼光来看待他所游历的世界,他真切地捕捉到了一个旅人的内心感受。自然地理、生活情趣、社会时态,布莱森信手拈来无不奇趣。他的尖刻加上他的博学,让他的文字充满了智慧、机敏和幽默。作为在英国生活了二十多年的美国人,他的作品又兼具了开朗风趣、绝不怕粗俗的美式调侃和冷峻犀利、一针见血的英式嘲讽。
After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson took the decision to move back to the States for a while, to let his kids experience life in another country, to give his wife the chance to shop until 10 p.m. seven nights a week, and, most of all, because he had read the 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another, and it was thus clear to him that his people needed him. But before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite, a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy, place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey and Shellow Bowells, people who said 'Mustn't grumble', and Gardeners' Question Time. So in Notes from a Small Island, Bryson turns a laconic but affectionate eye on his adopted country. Britain will never seem the same again.
英文版在Kindle里囤了多少年了没开动,凤凰版的中文版忽然到手了,才读了几章就觉得翻译得很不错啊,虽然豆瓣评分居然低得匪夷所思。 译者的用词传神地体现了英式黑色幽默,各种细节处的讽刺和揶揄,每一个热爱英剧or英式自黑的人都能体会吧~ 比如刚刚读到的这一段,恨不得每...
评分好吧我承认我想看这书的动机不良,抱着找萌的心态去的(自动米英带入),确实找到了一点,不过那些个又长又难记的地名还是饶了我吧。如果多描写点这个胡子跟当地人交往(或者说吵架)的细节的话,我想会更喜欢。

评分Bill Bryson用极为细致的观察,幽默的语言和活跃的思维展示了英国最为真实的一面。最后读到他说“这个small island有哪里让他爱的如此深的”的答案时几乎泪奔,因为和我心里的答案完全一样:every bit of it, good and bad。
评分well with expectation as such, disappointment is perhaps all too natural... managed to extract from my dried up being a few laughs at the very beginning, very much due to my glorious mood in retrospect, but bored me considerably till the very end...esp. after a reading experience like Dorian Gray, most unfortunately...
