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."

In this timely new book, a distinguished intellectual historian offers us cogent and persuasive responses to these urgent topical questions: What are the prospects for the European Union? If they are not wholly rosy, why is that? And, in any event, how much does it matter whether a united Europe does or does not come about, on whatever terms?

评分托尼.朱特从历史中梳理了什么是「欧洲」,所谓的「西欧」「中欧」「东欧」又是什么,什么时候出现这种划分的。 对于欧洲的未来,他的一个观点是:民族国家并没有过时,欧盟对国家权力的分割和去中心化也许太快太过分了。传统的民族国家仍然是重要的政治形式,如果忽略民族国家...
评分在“狼狈”的日子里,巴尔扎克破费700法郎买了一根镶嵌着玛瑙石的粗大手杖,并在手杖上面刻了一行字:“我将粉碎一切障碍。”几十年后,卡夫卡便颠倒了这个句式:“一切障碍都在粉碎我。”显然他不认为作家能够真正把握客体世界的涣散。但这并没有结束,再后来的苏珊•桑塔格...
