是一部睿智和精彩的作品。以表达作者观点为主,文中是大段大段的对话,小说情节十分淡化。现代文学有不少这样的作品,比如“Women in Love”和 金阁寺。我一般不喜欢这种类型的小说 -- 看不懂,没有共鸣。但是李敖的这个作品却给我完全不同的感受,可能是熟悉的故事背景和话题。作品开始时康有为与和尚的对话最为精彩;中间对佛的论述有些看不明白;后面论述谭嗣同死的意义时有些重复。
无疑,李敖是非常睿智的。但是,觉得他的有些观点是聪明人的片面而自以为是的见解,比如说贫穷是中国人守旧的原因。这和我刚刚读的“全球通史”里史学的视角差别太大,甚至抵触。但是,另一方面看,点与面,身于局中主观的看一角和置于事外冷静而综合的解析,倒也相依相存,不那么再抵触了。
另外,觉得李敖的这本书有点像特意写给外国人看的。

小镇生活指南, 陈雨航
淡淡的笔调,写着小镇里平淡而真实的生活。以一群高中生为重点,但是写到了镇上的很多人,很多事。结构从容不迫。是我喜欢的风格,有点像侯孝贤的电影“童年往事”。可惜,作品缺少了一些点睛之笔。
在青春岁月里,在狭小的世界里,向往着外面的世界。
伴随着岁月的流逝,走过了很多地方。 回首往昔,在梦中一次一次浮现的,却是那曾经平凡的人和事,曾经天天面对的景和物。
温暖的,充满幻想的,却永远失去了的,青春岁月。
麦田出版。2012年。ISBN 9789861737898。

The World to 1500: A Global History, by L. S. Stavrianos
What a great reading! One of the best books I have read. It narrates major events in the human history, and more importantly explains what caused them and their impact in both time and geo dimensions. This is truly a "global" view because it discusses the interactions among the events and forces across the globe.
I had little history knowledge, and this book fills me in. Many questions in my mind, like why Greece and Roman declined, were now clarified. Many misunderstanding, like human leading a life as food gatherers because of lacking knowledge of agriculture, were now corrected. Most importantly, it explains why our world evolves to today's way.
