Paris To The Moon(ISBN=9780375758232) 英文原版 免费 下载 115盘 pdf txt mobi caj lit

　　Paris. The name alone conjures images of chestnut-lined

boulevards, sidewalk cafés, breathtaking fa?ades around every

corner--in short, an exquisite romanticism that has captured the

American imagination for as long as there have been

Americans.

In 1995, Adam Gopnik, his wife, and their infant son left the

familiar comforts and hassles of New York City for the urbane

glamour of the City of Light. Gopnik is a longtime New Yorker

writer, and the magazine has sent its writers to Paris for

decades--but his was above all a personal pilgrimage to the place

that had for so long been the undisputed capital of everything

cultural and beautiful. It was also the opportunity to raise a

child who would know what it was to romp in the Luxembourg Gardens,

to enjoy a croque monsieur in a Left Bank café--a child (and

perhaps a father, too) who would have a grasp of that Parisian

sense of style we Americans find so elusive.

So, in the grand tradition of the American abroad, Gopnik walked

the paths of the Tuileries, enjoyed philosophical discussions at

his local bistro, wrote as violet twilight fell on the

arrondissements. Of course, as readers of Gopnik's beloved and

award-winning "Paris Journals" in The New Yorker know, there was

also the matter of raising a child and carrying on with day-to-day,

not-so-fabled life. Evenings with French intellectuals preceded

middle-of-the-night baby feedings; afternoons were filled with

trips to the Musée d'Orsay and pinball games; weekday leftovers

were eaten while three-star chefs debated a "culinary

crisis."

As Gopnik describes in this funny and tender book, the dual

processes of navigating a foreign city and becoming a parent are

not completely dissimilar journeys--both hold new routines, new

languages, a new set of rules by which everyday life is lived. With

singular wit and insight, Gopnik weaves the magical with the

mundane in a wholly delightful, often hilarious look at what it was

to be an American family man in Paris at the end of the twentieth

century. "We went to Paris for a sentimental reeducation-I did

anyway-even though the sentiments we were instructed in were not

the ones we were expecting to learn, which I believe is why they

call it an education."

　　Adam Gopnik has been writing for The New Yorker since

1986, and his work for the magazine has won the National Magazine

Award for Essay and Criticism as well as the George Polk Award for

Magazine Reporting. He broadcasts regularly for the Canadian

Broadcasting Corporation, and is the author of the article on the

culture of the United States in the last two editions of the

Encyclopedia Britannica. From 1995 to 2000, Gopnik lived in

Paris, where the newspaper Le Monde praised his "witty and

Voltairean picture of French life" and the weekly magazine Le

Point wrote, "It is impossible to resist delighting in the

nuances of his articles, for the details concerning French culture

that one discovers even when one is French oneself." He now lives

in New York with his wife, Martha Parker, and their two children,

Luke and Olivia.

　　Advance praise for Paris to the Moon

　　"Adam Gopnik's avid intelligence and nimble pen found subjects to

love in Paris and in the growth of his small American family there.

A conscientious, scrupulously savvy American husband and father

meets contemporary France, and fireworks result, lighting up not

just the Eiffel Tower."

　　--John Updike

　　"Adam Gopnik's Paris to the Moon abounds in the sensuous delights

of the city--the magical carousel in the Luxembourg Gardens, the

tomato dessert at Arpège, even the exquisite awfulness of the new

state library. But the even greater joys of this exquisite memoir

are timeless and even placeless--the excitement of the journey, the

confusion of an outsider, and, most of all, the love of a

family."

　　--Jeffrey Toobin

　　"The chronicle of an American writer's lifelong infatuation with

Paris is also an extended meditation--in turn hilarious and deeply

moving--on the threat of globalization, the art of parenting, and

the civilizing intimacy of family life. Whether he's writing about

the singularity of the Papon trial, the glory of bistro cuisine,

the wacky idiosyncrasies of French kindergartens, or the vexing

bureaucracy of Parisian health clubs, Gopnik's insights are infused

with a formidable cultural intelligence, and his prose is as

pellucid as that of any essayist. A brilliant, exhilarating

book."

　　--Francine du Plessix

Gray　　       

　　"Adam Gopnik is a dazzling talent--hilarious, winning, and

deft--but the surprise of Paris to the Moon is its quiet, moral

intelligence. This book begins as journalism and ends up as

literature."

　　--Malcolm Gladwell -- Review
