Tony Judt was educated at King's College, Cambridge and the École Normale Supérieure, Paris, and taught at Cambridge, Oxford, and Berkeley. He was the Erich Maria Remarque Professor of European Studies at New York University, in addition to being the Director of the Remarque Institute, which is dedicated to the study of Europe and which he founded in 1995.
The author or editor of fourteen books, Professor Judt was a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, The New Republic, The New York Times and many other journals in Europe and the United States. Professor Judt is the author of Ill Fares the Land, Reappraisals: Reflections on the Forgotten Twentieth Century, and Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945, which was one of The New York Times Book Review’s Ten Best Books of 2005, winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He died in August 2010 at the age of sixty-two.
" 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.
驻足停留 文/丹尼尔·朱特 译/宫保鸡丁 我爸爸在2010年8月去世前,就已经开始写作他的下一本书了。“是时候去写那些人们理解的事情之外的事情了,”他下定决心,“去写那些人们关心的事情同样重要,也许还更重要。”我爸爸理解的事情是20世纪的欧洲历史。而他关心的事情是火车...
評分两个生活幸福却突患绝症而全身瘫痪的人,在病床上写就了两本畅销书。 托尼.朱特好歹是在他尚能口述的时候完成了作品,法国人鲍比则是靠左眼皮的眨动一个一个识别字母写下他四万字的遗作。没有高大上的坚强宣言,鲍比用眼皮“说”出的第一句话的确是“我想去死”。朱特则...

評分知识分子从来都害怕失去表达的能力,如同他们害怕面对一个被禁锢的世界,害怕一个停滞或倒退的社会出现。作为研究战后欧洲历史最重要的学者,托尼朱特亦复如此。他与物理学家霍金患有同样的疾病(肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症)。他将此自喻为“越来越彻底的、无法被假释的监禁...
評分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...

评分這本書跟我八字不閤,怎麼讀都進不到腦子裏去。。。
评分非常精彩—讀的過程中又悲傷又愉快,每一句像是迴憶,每一句又像是道彆。讀的過程中如同坐在火車之上,永不停歇的過程之中不知道是道彆還是齣發。那沉重卻如空氣一般的事物,最終隨著生命融化進無數的記憶的終點裏。
