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?
《论欧洲》(A Grand Illusion:An Essay on Europe)不长,排版空隙和所用字号,加之此书对欧洲各国的政治、外交、经济、 乃至军事等各个方面的描述、分析、判断、定位对我来说是久远而熟悉的记忆,读的此书便不过是一场回忆罢了,短短的周末半天时光就读完了。 书中开篇就直...
評分托尼被中国读者熟知,更多是因为他的《战后欧洲史》。网上评价说,他以敏锐的观察和深厚的人文情怀,展现出战后欧洲社会、政治、经济、文化的复杂面貌,描绘了人在这段风诡云谲的历史中的活动轨迹。我没读过这本,不确定这评价有几分可信度,但是,单看《论欧洲》,托尼对于欧...

評分快速增长(伴随着城市扩张,以及城市和城郊社区的变迁)与随后的经济停滞不仅让西欧再次面对经济波动的威胁(对于大多数欧洲人而言,这是自20世纪40年代末之后的第一次),而且还带来了工业革命初期以来最严重的社会动荡和现实风险。在今天的西欧,随处可见荒凉的卫星城、破败...
