" It might be thought the height of poor taste to ascribe good fortune to a healthy man with a young family struck down at the age of sixty by an incurable degenerative disorder from which he must shortly die. But there is more than one sort of luck. To fall prey to a motor neuron disease is surely to have offended the Gods at some point, and there is nothing more to be said. But if you must suffer thus, better to have a well-stocked head." -Tony Judt

The Memory Chalet is a memoir unlike any you have ever read before. Each essay charts some experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning. Memories of the 1968 student riots of Paris meander through the divergent sex politics of Europe, before concluding that his generation "was a revolutionary generation, but missed the revolution." A series of road trips across America lead not just to an appreciation of American history, but to an eventual acquisition of citizenship. Foods and trains and long-lost smells all compete for Judt's attention; but for us, he has forged his reflections into an elegant arc of analysis. All as simply and beautifully arranged as a Swiss chalet-a reassuring refuge deep in the mountains of memory.

我们完全依赖于记忆而活,但从不觉得记忆有多么重要。生活的一个悖论就在于,那些习以为常的拥有就该是理所应当的存在——存在即合理的合法化说明。我第一次察觉到记忆的不可靠,对其产生恐惧,是在涉猎英文时,无论我如何反复背诵那些英文单词,就是无法让它们在我的脑海中产...

“我们无法选择人生在何处启程,却可以选择在何处结尾。我知道我的选择:我要乘坐那辆小火车,无所谓终点,就这样一直坐下去。” 我也想坐一辆属于自己的小火车,像作者那样一直坐下去,的确就如作者所说:“无所谓终点。”我一直很享受追求途中的乐趣,享受途中所看到的美景,...

在没有读过Judt的历史著作前先读了这本类似回忆录的散文集,感受到了一位untypical Jew、meritocrat、deeply love train traveling、a bit nostalgic of old traditions的English gentleman的情怀,他也曾在年轻时去过以色列Kibbutz,也曾在二战后somehow buy communism,但最终还是成为了一个true cosmopolitan。最喜欢其中三篇,one is about him learning Czech,another is about the identity in globalization, the last is about the integrity of words.

非常精彩—读的过程中又悲伤又愉快,每一句像是回忆,每一句又像是道别。读的过程中如同坐在火车之上,永不停歇的过程之中不知道是道别还是出发。那沉重却如空气一般的事物,最终随着生命融化进无数的记忆的终点里。

评分

not able to appreciate most of it. Being a Jew himself, his views on Israel is rather refreshing and opened up a whole new dimension for me.
