虽然欧逸文和彼得·海斯勒写得都是中国社会观察,但欧逸文是典型的记者,重在客观观察、向西方社会揭示他所在的八年中国社会的核心变化,那也无怪乎他提取的都是一些重大事件,熟练于翻墙的中国读者难免觉得他冷漠以及老生常谈。但尽管如此,他还是提供了许多我不知道的细节,以及因为此书追踪到2013年,相比彼得·海斯勒所写的90年代的江城、陈梦家的经历,许多事件和评书更有切身体会。 而彼得·海斯勒更像是创作者,《甲骨文》一书最为显著,即使串写中国社会几十年的变迁,也有意识挑选并不广为人所知的个体入手,并在写作技巧上有明显的打磨,几条线索反复穿插,但思路明晰,也不显素材堆砌(这一点欧逸文差太远,或者说意不在此),我想这就是所谓创作者的自觉。
评分Cross the river by feeling for the stones -- Deng" ——"AGE OF AMBITION" by Even Osnos 「寫得蠻好的其實,畢竟作者住在中國那麼多年,但無論是新近看的『Chinese Rules』或是這本都沒有之前的『尋路中國』系列好看,也許是相關的書看太多了,寫來寫去總是繞不開那些事件。」

评分算是一本口水书吧,将逻辑上不很连贯的几个人的故事拼接在一起组成的。如果喜欢时事的,特别是敏感时事的可以看看,但总体来看像本报告文学,缺乏必要的深度。不推荐购买。
评分此书从侧面反映出何伟中文和英文的造诣都比欧逸文高。观察流于表面也就罢了,文笔也是过于沉闷,呵欠连连。
Evan Osnos joined The New Yorker as a staff writer in 2008. He was the magazine's correspondent in China, where he lived in a restored house in Beijing north of the Forbidden City, from 2005 until 2013 when he moved to Washington, D.C. He has received many prizes, including the Asia Society's Osborn Elliott Prize for Excellence in Journalism on Asia and the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. Osnos previously worked as the Beijing Bureau Chief of the Chicago Tribune, where he contributed to a series that won a 2008 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting.
A young army captain who risked execution to swim from free-market Taiwan to Communist China. A barber who made $150 million in the gambling dens of Macau. The richest woman in China, a recycling tycoon known as the 'Wastepaper Queen'. Age of Ambition describes some of the billion individual lives that make up China's story - one that unfolds on remote farms, in glittering mansions, and in the halls of power of the world's largest authoritarian regime. Together they describe the defining clash taking place today: between the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. Here is a China infused with a sense of boundless possibility and teeming romance. Yet it is also riven by contradictions. It is the world's largest buyer of Rolls Royces and Ferraris yet the word 'luxury' is banned from billboards. It has more Christians than members of the Communist Party. And why does a government that has lifted more people from poverty than any other so strictly restrain freedom of expression? Based on years of research, Age of Ambition is a stunning narrative that reveals China as we have never understood it before.
I hesitated to do a review for a lot of reasons, not least because I skipped some of the chapters towards the end of this book. Yet I think Mr. Osnos must ask himself: To whom, and for what purpose, did he write this book? If this is simply an anthology o...
评分长年累月来习惯了隔靴搔痒式的新闻报道,突然间送我一把尖刀,剔开包裹着这个社会的那块遮羞布,我着实有点不适应。就像一个近视眼患者,以为世界就是模糊的,却在配完一副眼镜后,看到画面清晰而又陌生。 作为一个外国新闻工作者,Evan旁观者的视角揭露了我们自己...
评分5月的广州正值雨季,我们走在泥泞的贝岗小路上,前往一家咖啡店,在那里举行我们的第二期读书会。 我们没有费心为这个有七名成员的读书会想一个名字,因为明白这学期结束,大家就将各奔东西,寻找实习和工作,但我们还是想抓住最后一段时间,读一些“与找工作无关”的书。 这...
评分他在书本的开头说,作为一位在中国居住多年的外国人,他意识到自己在思考和写作时很容易会陷入对比和批判模式,把在中国看到的一切和自己的祖国美国对比。但是,他更希望自己摘下有色眼镜, 试用中国人的方式记下这一切。 的确。在读这些文章的过程,我确实感受到他的用心:他...
评分这个时代,与其说是野心,不如说是迷茫。表面上看,大家唯成功论,“捉到老鼠就是好猫”,有钱,有车,有房。各种比拼优越感的时代。形形色色的面具之下其实虚掩的则是一种无知的危机感,迷茫,迷失甚至沦丧。适时的自我催眠,正能量,积极向上,凡事都要看到好的方面,努力求...
