具体描述
A San Francisco Chronicle and Kirkus Best Book of the Year
A gorgeously unique, fully illustrated exploration into the phenomenology of reading—how we visualize images from reading works of literature, from one of our very best book jacket designers, himself a passionate reader.
What do we see when we read? Did Tolstoy really describe Anna Karenina? Did Melville ever really tell us what, exactly, Ishmael looked like? The collection of fragmented images on a page—a graceful ear there, a stray curl, a hat positioned just so—and other clues and signifiers helps us to create an image of a character. But in fact our sense that we know a character intimately has little to do with our ability to concretely picture our beloved—or reviled—literary figures. In this remarkable work of nonfiction, Knopf's Associate Art Director Peter Mendelsund combines his profession, as an award-winning designer; his first career, as a classically trained pianist; and his first love, literature—he considers himself first and foremost as a reader—into what is sure to be one of the most provocative and unusual investigations into how we understand the act of reading.
作者简介
Peter Mendelsund is the associate art director of Alfred A. Knopf and a recovering classical pianist. His designs have been described by The Wall Street Journal as being “the most instantly recognizable and iconic book covers in contemporary fiction.” He lives in New York.

读后感
这本书讲了什么： 画画 当我们讨论阅读体验时，其实是在讨论过往的阅读记忆。* 恰恰是那些文本没有阐明的东西，吸引了我们的想象力。 生动性 对于细节的描写，应当关注称赞它用思想唤起驰骋心绪的效力，还是它手法本身的美感。 演绎 我们的头脑将散落的碎片加以整合，从区...
评分《当我们阅读时，我们看到了什么》这本书初看起来晦涩难懂，但再次深入阅读会发现却是一次有趣的思维游戏。 阅读时候在发生什么，阅读给我们带来什么体验？我认为这本书的大部分观点是在说阅读“小说类”文学作品时候的阅读。这本书基本围绕着这个问题说话，不少妙语连珠。 “...
评分文/夏丽柠 随着时代进步，“阅读”的能力早已被普及。几乎没有人还像张爱玲笔下的小艾，苦苦等到丈夫金槐来信时，非要出去求人念一遍才懂。读书，成了丰富我们精神世界，增加幸福指数的武器。原来，读书是这么好的事！ 可是，有个叫彼得•门德尔桑德的美国人，他大声抗议：...
评分初看是本很有意思的书，图像和段落结合，作者极尽可能让读者领悟书中意象和阅读者们想象中的差距以及创作者们的用心良苦，脑洞可以开到无限大包括人体内部构造的生理可能和外在任何事物的阴影面带来的意想不到的结果。而作为本书的读者，一直觉得英语原版肯定会比翻译来的阅读...
评分P141 所以当我们赞赏“观察细致”的文章时，是在称赞它用思想唤起驰骋心绪的效力，还是它手法本身的美感？ P146 但描述是不能叠加的。 然而，视像，却是可以叠加的、同时发生的。 P154 More coloful equals less authentic（真切的）. 作品在接连不断的画面的重负下一次次趔趄...

Quite a sense of design.
评分说实话看不太懂。。。
评分适合英语国家teenager读
评分What we are observing is not the thing itself, but the tools we have constructed to observe that thing. Like the metaphor of “floating on the margin of the ensuing scene” when describing the immersive drift of reading.
评分我的现象学启蒙。
