被書評裏的“the linguistic detective story”騙去看的書……但其實沒那麼好,整個故事寫得相當忠實,應該確實做瞭很多功課,但隻能說很無趣,不理解為什麼最近炒得這麼熱,隻能說營銷手段比我想象得高端瞭……

Richness and time make a perfect scholar.

The Professor and the Madman 在線電子書 圖書描述

Mysterious (mistîe · ries), a. [f. L. mystérium Mysteryi + ous. Cf. F. mystérieux.]

1. Full of or fraught with mystery; wrapt in mystery; hidden from human knowledge or understanding; impossible or difficult to explain, solve, or discover; of obscure origin, nature, or purpose. </P>

It is known as one of the greatest literary achievements in the history of English letters. The creation of the Oxford English Dictionary began in 1857, took seventy years to complete, drew from tens of thousands of brilliant minds, and organized the sprawling language into 414,825 precise definitions. But hidden within the rituals of its creation is a fascinating and mysterious story--a story of two remarkable men whose strange twenty-year relationship lies at the core of this historic undertaking.

Professor James Murray, an astonishingly learned former schoolmaster and bank clerk, was the distinguished editor of the OED project. Dr. William Chester Minor, an American surgeon from New Haven, Connecticut, who had served in the Civil War, was one of thousands of contributors who submitted illustrative quotations of words to be used in the dictionary. But Minor was no ordinary contributor. He was remarkably prolific, sending thousands of neat, handwritten quotations from his home in the small village of Crowthorne, fifty miles from Oxford. On numerous occasions Murray invited Minor to visit Oxford and celebrate his work, but Murray's offer was regularly--and mysteriously--refused.

Thus the two men, for two decades, maintained a close relationship only through correspondence. Finally, in 1896, after Minor had sent nearly ten thousand definitions to the dictionary but had still never traveled from his home, a puzzled Murray set out to visit him. It was then that Murray finally learned the truth about Minor--that, in addition to being a masterful wordsmith, Minor was also a murderer, clinically insane--and locked up in Broadmoor, England's harshest asylum for criminal lunatics.

The Professor and the Madman is an extraordinary tale of madness and genius, and the incredible obsessions of two men at the heart of the Oxford English Dictionary and literary history. With riveting insight and detail, Simon Winchester crafts a fascinating glimpse into one man's tortured mind and his contribution to another man's magnificent dictionary.

对于词典,每一个英语专业的人可能都有一种复杂的感情。而说起词典每个人可能都有一箩筐的故事在那里。一本厚厚的词典几乎就是这个专业的标配。同样一本称心的词典亦能给学习助力颇多。即便是在数字化的今天,手持一本厚厚的词典仍能顿感牛气了不少。 大学四年下来,用过的词...

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...

锡兰,葱茏繁茂的热带岛屿,像一滴泪珠挂在印度的南端——又像一只梨,一颗珍珠,有人还说像一只弗吉尼亚火腿。世界上戒律森严的传教士们,把它看作亚当和夏娃遭上帝驱逐后流亡的地方。它是负罪者的伊甸园,是经不起诱惑的人居住的地狱边缘。 他的生活只是一场缓慢的悲剧。 人...

文学家大多是寂寞的,寂寞地想,寂寞地写,凭空构造出一片热闹的天地,留下一座座令人景仰的文学纪念碑。与之相比,词典的编纂就更加寂寞,即便多年的心血能轰动一时,也可能随着词语的更新,词义的变迁,被新的词典所取代。 总有一些人喜欢寂寞,或者总有一些人...
