“Adam Nicolson writes popular books as popular books used to be, a breeze rather than a scholarly sweat, but humanely erudite, elegantly written, passionately felt…and his excitement is contagious.”—James Wood, The New Yorker
Adam Nicolson sees the Iliad and the Odyssey as the foundation myths of Greek—and our—consciousness, collapsing the passage of 4,000 years and making the distant past of the Mediterranean world as immediate to us as the events of our own time.
Why Homer Matters is a magical journey of discovery across wide stretches of the past, sewn together by the poems themselves and their metaphors of life and trouble. Homer’s poems occupy, as Adam Nicolson writes “a third space” in the way we relate to the past: not as memory, which lasts no more than three generations, nor as the objective accounts of history, but as epic, invented after memory but before history, poetry which aims “to bind the wounds that time inflicts.”
The Homeric poems are among the oldest stories we have, drawing on deep roots in the Eurasian steppes beyond the Black Sea, but emerging at a time around 2000 B.C. when the people who would become the Greeks came south and both clashed and fused with the more sophisticated inhabitants of the Eastern Mediterranean.
The poems, which ask the eternal questions about the individual and the community, honor and service, love and war, tell us how we became who we are.
《荷兰3000年》,书名很容易让人想起那本广受欢迎的《耶路撒冷三千年》,这种以亲民的文学笔触娓娓道来的非虚构文本,少了学术书的古板和冰冷,读来让人兴致盎然。关于这本书写作的缘起,作者在第一章中有交代,脑补一下那个场景,也就是作者和友人在经历了一次穿越生死的...
评分不知道是不是编译者不用心,书中公元和公元前总混杂。(逼死强迫症)在一段大体讲述公元前八百年的段落里反复出现公元八百年,相差一千六百年啊。导致看时间的时候总要思考,有的时间也难以判断。(我所说的具体在102-112页之间)不过我手里没有原版所以无法考证对错,如果是我理解...

评分【前言】 接触荷马时,我还是个初中生。记得当时,自己一个人跑去博鳌书城买下了一本《奥德赛》,不厚也不薄,印象中大概200多页。现在想来,那本估计是经过处理的,并非原版。时隔许久,在我读完《耶路撒冷三千年》后,我无意中看到《荷马3000年》这本书。《泰晤士报》如是撰...
评分初遇荷马,是在初中历史课上,记忆中的荷马是一个悲苦的盲眼诗人,坐在石头上,叙述着那或真实或夸张或缥缈的过往。那时的我,觉得《荷马史诗》离我好遥远,并不是由于年代和地域的鸿沟,只因听闻体裁是诗歌。直到邂逅《荷马3000年》,才让我有机会从一个方面去接触荷马,听闻...
