Born in 1948, Tony Judt was raised in the East End of London by a mother whose parents had immigrated from Russia and a Belgian father who descended from a line of Lithuanian rabbis. Judt was educated at Emanuel School, before receiving a BA (1969) and PhD (1972) in history from the University of Cambridge.
Like many other Jewish parents living in postwar Europe, his mother and father were secular, but they sent him to Hebrew school and steeped him in the Yiddish culture of his grandparents, which Judt says he still thinks of wistfully. Urged on by his parents, Judt enthusiastically waded into the world of Israeli politics at age 15. He helped promote the migration of British Jews to Israel. In 1966, having won an exhibition to King's College Cambridge, he took a gap year and went to work on kibbutz Machanaim. When Nasser expelled UN troops from Sinai in 1967, and Israel mobilized for war, like many European Jews, he volunteered to replace kibbutz members who had been called up. During and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, he worked as a driver and translator for the Israel Defense Forces.
But during the aftermath of the war, Judt's belief in the Zionist enterprise began to unravel. "I went with this idealistic fantasy of creating a socialist, communitarian country through work," Judt has said. The problem, he began to believe, was that this view was "remarkably unconscious of the people who had been kicked out of the country and were suffering in refugee camps to make this fantasy possible."
Career: King's College, Cambridge, England, fellow, 1972-78; University of California at Berkeley, assistant professor, 1978-80; St. Anne's College, Oxford University, Oxford, England, fellow, 1980-87; New York University, New York, NY, professor of history, 1987--, director of Remarque Institute, 1995--.
Awards: American Council of Learned Societies, fellow, 1980; British Academy Award for Research, 1984; Nuffield Foundation fellow, 1986; Guggenheim fellow, 1989; Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction finalist, 2006, for Postwar: A History of Europe since 1945.
Almost a decade in the making, this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world's most esteemed historians and intellectuals is a singular achievement. Postwar is the first modern history that covers all of Europe, both east and west, drawing on research in six languages to sweep readers through thirty-four nations and sixty years of political and cultural change-all in one integrated, enthralling narrative. Both intellectually ambitious and compelling to read, thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details, Postwar is a rare joy.

才发现没什么特殊的啊国啊情什么的,其实别的位置都发生过只是你不知道而已。 喜欢那句“审查的不一定是经典”(原文是这样吗?后头查查,这只是自己理解的) 对了,近几日看哈耶克的几篇报告,开始理解撒切尔夫人的一些改革目的了,但还不是很清楚:) PS:这本书的翻译有点儿古...
评分才发现没什么特殊的啊国啊情什么的,其实别的位置都发生过只是你不知道而已。 喜欢那句“审查的不一定是经典”(原文是这样吗?后头查查,这只是自己理解的) 对了,近几日看哈耶克的几篇报告,开始理解撒切尔夫人的一些改革目的了,但还不是很清楚:) PS:这本书的翻译有点儿古...
评分□纽约书评笔记 ,刊于东方早报-上海书评 乔纳森 从2010年开始,《纽约书评》每期刊出两三篇托尼•朱特(Tony Judt)的回忆文字,篇幅都不长,谈的多是青少年时代的经历。到4月29日这期,回忆文字暂停了,托尼•朱特的名字却又出现了三次:一是从他刚面世的新书《乡土式微...
评分- 這一本書, 我看了一個月有多. 從上次出差回來後搞定了 kindle, 上網一按就買了這本書. 雖然買後覺得這種消費太'輕易', 但確實是本好書, 也算沒有買錯吧. 從書的最後看見 print out 版本應該有多點照片, 電子書始終有它不足的地方. - 面對這樣的'巨著', 其實沒甚麼可以評論的...
评分在上世纪50年代中期因白内障导致双目接近失明,从外语教师的职务上退休,命令我每天给他念报纸,专读国际新闻。因此,什么“西德复活军国主义”、“美、英、法、苏四大国首脑最高级会晤”等消息于我十分熟稔,足以在同龄小伙伴中掌握话语权。“文化大革命”时“天下大乱”,对...
史料的运用、叙述节奏的把握实在是挥洒自如。但说到底是Eurocentric的史观,对共产主义阵营的叙述多从其对西欧社会影响着眼,暑假时要对读霍布斯鲍姆的Age of Extreme。
评分我喜欢欧洲华丽的宫廷文化、美好而自由的街景,殊不知这背后还深藏着如此多的政治。Tony Judt是个很好的作家!
评分I read it at home. I read it in office. I read it in the dresser, and more over quiet tea. I read it a decade ago and today and in between.
评分A must read for those who want to know what makes us today.
评分It's indeed more than a hassle to write a review on a saddle, but what else can I do to satisfy my eagerness of impressing the social media? Ok, this book reeducated me of Europe and 20th Century, period.
