Christopher Hitchens is a popular author, columnist, editor, and book critic. He writes regularly for numerous publications, including The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, Granta, and Harper's. His most recent books are Blood, Class and Empire and A Long Short War. He lives in Washington, DC.
In Letters to a Young Contrarian, best-selling author and world-class provocateur Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, and angry young (wo)men. Exploring the entire range of "contrary positions" from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt, Hitchens introduces the next generation to the minds and the misfits who inspire him --- invoking such mentors as Emile Zola, Rosa Parks, and George Orwell. As is his trademark, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast to stagnant traditions across the ideological spectrum. There is no one writing today with a greater understanding of the importance of disagreement --- to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress, to democracy itself.
(转自《经济观察报》,云也退先生的书评) 我很尊敬《查理周刊》的漫画家们,不是因为他们画了给自己惹来杀身大祸的那些漫画。前些天,在得知这份杂志订户猛增,全球销量数百万份时,正巧看到一幅漫画:云端立着男男女女五个人,下边的大地上,每个人拿着一份画报。五个人都很...
评分对非理性保持警惕,不管它多诱人。远离“超验”和那些邀请你服从或自毁的人。提防同情心;对于你自己和他人来说,都是尊严更为可取。不要怕别人觉得你傲慢或自私。把所有的专家都看成哺乳动物。对于不公正和愚昧永远不要旁观。寻求论述和争辩不需要额外的理由;坟墓里有足够的...
评分作者写给愤青的一些忠告和建议。『愤青』一词的原文是contrarian,韦氏词典的解释是a person who takes a contrary position or attitude——采取反对立场或态度的人。作者用给一个虚拟对象写信的方式来陈述自己的观点,这个对象是一位需要这些忠告和建议的年轻人。由此可见,...

渐入佳境,读到后半部分一些具体的事例不得不为作者的理想主义而鼓掌,但开头的部分流于抽象又过于花哨,实在不是很好读。
评分飞机上读完。似乎找到了怼人(尤其是某种类型人)的方法
评分3.5 鸡汤浓度不够 鸡血也不太够用 知识和见解有一些但很单薄且埋在整个过于散漫的结构里
评分不是很好读 但心灵鸡汤足了 感觉开头有点夸张抽象 有点人生导师的感觉
评分读到最后饱含热泪:Shun the “transcendent” and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself and others. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity...
