Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. Settled in England for many years, he moved to America with his wife and four children for a few years, but has since returned to live in the UK. His bestselling travel books include The Lost Continent, Notes From a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods and Down Under. His acclaimed work of popular science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Aventis Prize and the Descartes Prize, and was the biggest selling non-fiction book of the decade in the UK.
Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither Here nor There he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein.
朋友从上海去到昆明工作,问他能否习惯,他说,相比上海,昆明是太小了,不过,他很有意思地补上一句:上海其实也很小。问其故。说:在上海,他熟悉和活动的区域来来去去就那几处。除此之外,于我们都是陌生的边界。谁说不是呢?朱天文早借《世纪末的华丽》这篇小说指出,我们...
評分不知道有多少人有自助游欧洲的梦想。 对于离欧洲太远的人,比如我,就觉得如果去了一次,在那么重的往返路费的压力下,还是要多玩一些,于是就开始贪心。 游玩还是随性最好。能玩下去就继续,觉得开始累想家人就回家。 书描写各个地方的风土人情是极好的,写奥斯陆,写丹麦...
評分比尔·布赖森的旅行总是兼有深度和广度,漫不经心的所谓行程规划,恰恰能遭遇俯拾皆是的妙缘。欧洲大陆不同国家的风土人情,由他这样一个生命中满溢豁达和幽默感的人讲述出来,简直是滑稽可笑的,最重要的是,每个国家或者地区都被他写出了各自真实的脾气。比尔·布赖森...
評分第一次读到这本书,是十五岁时英文课本里要求背诵的一篇文章节选,那时觉得作者的文字好美,那一段是描写他在西西里附近的Capri岛上,天色将晚,独自观望远处山丘倾泻下的灯火,脚下就是悬崖与大海。作者写道: “The sea was so far below that the sound of breakin...
評分看了评论和前言,本来对这书的期望很高。但如果你去过欧洲,还请你远离这本书。作者写作的背景是九十年代的欧洲,即便如此退让,作者写的东西依旧一无是处,完全像是劝解别人别出门了,或者给那些从未出过远门的人的一些安慰。反正下次看见这位作者的东西,我一定绕道。
