In Pure Pleasure, John Carey, one of Britain's most respected literary critics, introduces us to what he believes are the fifty most enjoyable books of the twentieth century based on sheer reading pleasure. Mixing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, Carey includes literary heavyweights like James Joyce, Thomas Mann, and T. S. Eliot, as well as more populist writers like Arthur Conan Doyle, Kingsley Amis, and John Updike. Carey also discusses masterpieces like F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Gunter Grass's The Tin Drum, alongside lesser-known works like D. H. Lawrence's Twilight in Italy and George Orwell's Coming Up for Air.In a series of intelligent and fast-moving essays -- each devoted to a single book -- Carey mixes criticism, biography, and cultural context about each selection with illuminations on the author's inspiration and how each work was written. The end result is a book that no one who is passionate about reading should be without.

评分凯里的智慧点评也体现作品和在他本人脑中的构建，涌现出对含混、矛盾、融合、个体与其造物者的依存等等大量的深刻的人性见解，我也看到了他推崇理性是美的破坏者、人性的魅力乃至梦想的魅力都在于，你去忽略不完美、毫无怀疑地去爱它，多么豁达而丰富的世界，愿每个人都如凯里...
评分“重读一遍康拉德就像是播放自己喜爱的CD。你细细聆听着，并非为了了解情节或者人物，而是为了欣赏它的遣词造句和抑扬顿挫——这才是其无可比拟的独特之处”。 上面的话再恰当不过地勾勒出了本书作者约翰•凯里文学享乐主义者的面貌，不过他并不像我们惯常对于享乐主义者的印...
