William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his bio graphy has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself. Bryson documents the efforts of earlier scholars, from today's most respected academics to eccentrics like Delia Bacon, an American who developed a firm but unsubstantiated conviction that her namesake, Francis Bacon, was the true author of Shakespeare's plays. Emulating the style of his famous travelogues, Bryson records episodes in his research, including a visit to a bunkerlike room in Washington, D.C., where the world's largest collection of First Folios is housed. Bryson celebrates Shakespeare as a writer of unimaginable talent and enormous inventiveness, a coiner of phrases ("vanish into thin air," "foregone conclusion," "one fell swoop") that even today have common currency. His Shakespeare is like no one else's—the beneficiary of Bryson's genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time.
每次當我嘗試向人介紹這本書,總不知如何開口:想說這是一本莎士比亞的傳記吧,但它又的確不是,如書中所說,我們對莎翁一生的經歷所能確知者甚少,以至於一些很基本的問題,如他的長相如何,有無宗教信仰,是異性戀還是同性戀者,等等,都尚無定論。更令人好奇的是,其人一生...

10/100 of 2016. Shakespeare is a legend.
评分尋找真實的莎士比亞
评分沒看完,考證過於詳細拉
评分Simple, elegant, informative and amusing. A straightforward timeline of Shakespeare's life and quite the most reasonable speculation of his career. Shrouded in mysteries, as most part of his life is regrettably unknown, "...he is a kind of literary equivalent of an electron-forever there and not there." ❤ my #1 Bryson
评分Bill Bryson運筆從容,考據瞭得。最後兩章看得我膽戰心驚。
