Fabulous is the only adjective that comes close to doing justice to Isadora Duncan (1878-1927). Her awesomely self-assured autobiography depicts a woman who while still in her teens tells an eminent theatrical manager (from whom she desperately needs a job), "I have discovered the art that has been lost for two thousand years.... I bring you the dance." In Duncan's rendering of her life, composers fling themselves at the piano and compose new music for her on the spot. Men pine for her love (the book's sexual frankness, while hardly startling today, was considered quite scandalous in 1927). And the poor mortals who can never understand her need to be free can at least applaud wildly at her concerts. Duncan and her siblings sleep in a bare Parisian attic, then dance barefoot through the Luxembourg Gardens. They travel to Greece to worship "in the Sacred Land of Hellas," where they build their very own temple. Duncan is capable of seeing the humor in her rhapsodic immersion in art, but we don't really want her to be realistic and self-deprecating like ordinary mortals. It's her divine passion, her supreme confidence in her own genius that make My Life such fun to read. --Wendy Smith

评分最近校内推荐很多治愈系的电影,大多是针对各种心理问题的针对都市人各种孤独症的。其实,不光是电影,我觉得书也是治愈系的,除了工具书和百科书,其它类都可归于治愈系。以前看《橙》可以从那些鸡毛蒜皮的小事里面看到,那个帅气腼腆的安东尼原来生活也是乐趣很多常常可以一...
评分意料之中的,读过这本书的人很少。忘了当时是什么吸引我买下了它,但当我读了半小时后,就几乎一口气把它读完了。也许是因为那就是我所期望的、自由的一生。也是这本书,重新激发了旅行的欲望。
评分 评分我很吃惊这样的一本书竟然在豆瓣上只有10条书评,而且大体翻看并没有找到共鸣——我是在连夜将这本书读到末端然后又在早晨醒来的朦胧睡眼中很清醒地结束了全书之后上来的,所有的激动和迷茫还在回荡,回荡,我不知道该怎样去评论这本书——这不是书这是舞动的人生踩在悲喜的...
