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?

評分写于1996年的《论欧洲》不幸言中了这样的一个事实:如今的欧洲并未真正的彻底一体化。那个年轻的欧洲并如愿欧洲化,还是一个分裂的欧洲。欧洲一体化的理想,成为一个遥远的传说。我们发现其实之后的欧洲什么都没有变。真实和梦想真的就在一念之间,因为那个所谓的欧洲并没有真...
評分在“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...
