具体描述
The Professor and the Madman, masterfully researched and eloquently written, is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary--and literary history. The compilation of the OED, begun in 1857, was one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led by Professor James Murray, discovered that one man, Dr. W C. Minor, had submitted more than ten thousand. When the committee insisted on honoring him, a shocking truth came to light: Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane.</P>

读后感
无机客 时下很少有书能带给我如此强烈的触动，但《教授与疯子》做到了。这本书由百花文艺出版社出版，英文原书出版于1998年，是作者Simon Winchester最优秀的一部作品，其中文版也是一部翻译很用心的作品。然而，该书初版只印刷了4000册，并且我是在一家旧书店里找到它的，可...
评分知识的癫狂故事 关于《教授与疯子》 这个小说的开场是一场凶杀案。在伦敦泰晤士河边上贫民窟的一条街道上，凌晨两点，一个上早班的工人被一个来历不明的男子枪杀了。这个维多利亚时代寒冷街头发生的恐怖一幕，有着侦探小说的所有要素，但此后故事的河道陡然掉...
评分 评分詹姆斯•默里和W•C•迈纳，一个是声誉卓著的教授，恢弘巨制《牛津英语词典》（OED）的主编；另一个则是精神失常，因犯下过失杀人罪行而被困于疯人院的“疯子”。两者之间似乎本无任何交集，然而正是OED编纂所造就的因缘际会，让这身份地位迥然不同的两人走到了一起，成...
评分提到OED，你或许并不知道它是什么，但它的全称你一定不陌生——OED，Oxford English Dictionary，它就是大名鼎鼎的《牛津英语词典》。作为每天打卡背单词的单词狗，你一定想把它供起来好好膜拜一番，毕竟，OED可是英语单词的至高标准，是其之后各种辞书乃至百科全书的鼻祖。...

Intriguing anecdotes of the intellectual who contributed immensely to the OED,yet was confined in the Bethlem,where he still had his life,though this former US army surgeon remains in delusions. Despite contents,the language is largely British and thus harsh to me,but above all it's surprisingly no-academic given that the book is intellectual.

评分所有的科普部分原本就知道，故事部分毫无节奏感，太多的人物生平有凑字之嫌。还是不错的休闲读物
