英国作家,生于1968年,少年就读威斯敏斯特学校,于1993年创办《闲人》杂志。《星期日电讯报》、《卫报》、《星期日泰晤士报》撰稿人。最新力作《如何做个自由的人》(how to be free)于2006年10月付梓(上海三联书店即出中文版)。此君正一如既往地做着先前做的事……或者更准确地说,什么都不做……悠哉游哉地过着他的日子:编杂志、写文章、办Party和各种各样好玩的事情。现居英国德文郡。
With advice, information, and reflection on such matters as lying in, long lunches, the art of the nap, and how to skive, How to Be Idle gives you all the inspiration you need to take a break from your fast-paced, overworked life.</p>
From the founding editor of the <em>The Idler</em>, the celebrated magazine about the freedom and fine art of doing nothing, comes not simply a book, but an antidote to our work-obsessed culture. In How to Be Idle, Tom Hodgkinson presents his learned yet whimsical argument for a new universal standard of living: being happy doing nothing. He covers a whole spectrum of issues affecting the modern idler -- sleep, work, pleasure, relationships -- bemoaning the cultural skepticism of idleness while reflecting on the writing of such famous apologists for it as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Johnson, and Nietzsche -- all of whom have admitted to doing their very best work in bed.</p>
It's a well-known fact that Europeans spend fewer hours at work a week than Americans. So it's only befitting that one of them -- the very clever, extremely engaging, and quite hilarious Hodgkinson -- should have the wittiest and most useful insights into the fun and nature of loafing.</p>
Who wouldn't want to blow off work for a day and just "be idle"? The key to a life of pleasure, freedom, and guilt-free lounging around is in your hands.</p>
有心认真评一下这本书如何垃圾,怕毁了自己的好心情。难得世界上这样2b作者,难得中国有这种2b翻译和出版社
评分不打算老掉牙地批判“快餐文化”,苦口婆心状“我们已经失去了慢的艺术”云云。 行云流水之快,确实值得享受值得追求——前提是,不在此过程中成为“快”的奴隶。 闲散在当今大概确实是种奢侈品,这无可厚非。也不是人人都愿意快的,谁不想坐享清福呢。 但若因此主动放弃“闲...
评分这是一个很吸引人的题目,用不到一小时一口气翻完了这本书。说不上文学造诣和思想深度,却也还观点奇特。一看书名还以为是法国或意大利人写的,谁知作者汤姆·霍奇金森出生在工业革命的发源地、提倡法制和纪律的大英帝国。此君鄙视西方正统的政治家和宗教提倡勤勉、刻苦、...
评分记得从前读过一本书,《你能不能不工作》。可惜的是,只记得书名了。似乎两者有异曲同工之妙。读完了,再次可以肯定如今这样的度日方式。可若是将此称为懒惰的宣言,那可能也将远离作者的意图了。 这是一种对工作文化的挑战,也是对现代人的提醒。追溯到源头,还是那个哲学的问...
