我刚读完两本书，原本以为八竿子打不着，结果发现关联度极高，对照着读特别带感——一本是斯蒂芬·格林布拉特的《大转向》（The Swerve），另一本是理查德·罗兹的《原子弹秘史》（The Making of the Atomic Bomb）。《大转向》讲的是伊壁鸠鲁和卢克莱修——这两位在两千多年前就帮着普及了原子论。我以前从没深入想过……
I just read two books that I thought would be unrelated, but ended up being very related in a way that was fascinating to read the two in tandem — The Swerve by Stephen Greenblatt, and The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes. The Swerve is about Epicurus and Lucretius — who both helped popularize atomism 2000+ years ago. I never thought much of the…

威廉·欧文的《好生活指南》（A Guide to the Good Life，关于斯多葛学派，据我所知网上有免费下载）；斯蒂芬·格林布拉特的《大转向》（The Swerve，讲述古罗马诗人卢克莱修的长诗《物性论》带来的影响——从原子概念、波提切利的《维纳斯的诞生》到为什么托马斯·杰斐逊会写下……

基督教相关：格林布拉特的《大转向》；卡雷尔的《王国》（The Kingdom）。两本都是从这种宗教的历史发展演变角度来切入的。
Christianity: The Swerve - Greenblatt The Kingdom - Carrére Both very much in the sense of historical development of the religion.

这倒不一定是坏事。对这个故事感兴趣的人都该去读读斯蒂芬·格林布拉特的《大转向》（https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/stephen-greenblatt）。它追溯了一位文艺复兴时期的人文主义者如何搜寻并翻译伊壁鸠鲁派哲学家/诗人卢克莱修的《物性论》，格林布拉特认为这部作品……
