让我们最喜爱的叙事非虚构作家带你重返那个见证美国走向成熟并彻底改变世界的夏天。在 1927 年的夏天，美国拥有蓬勃发展的股市、每天只工作四小时（其余大部分时间都在睡觉）的总统、密西西比河肆虐的洪灾、轰动一时的谋杀案审判，以及一位名叫 Charles Lindbergh、一跃成为全球最著名人物的无名飞行员。正是那个夏天，见证了有声电影的诞生、电视的发明、Al Capone 恐怖统治的巅峰、密歇根州一所学校令人毛骨悚然的爆炸案

今年我读过的心头好图书：Hilary Mantel 写的《A Place of Greater Safety》[法国大革命——丹东、罗伯斯庇尔、德穆兰……]；Bill Bryson 写的《One Summer: America 1927》；Andrew Roberts 写的《Napoleon the Great》；Neal Stephenson 写的《Seveneves》。目前正在读《The Box》，相当有意思。
Books this year that I loved: "A Place of Greater Safety" - Hilary Mantel [French Revolution - Danton, Robespierre, Desmoulins ...] "One Summer: America 1927" - Bill Bryson "Napoleon the Great" - Andrew Roberts "Seveneves" - Neal Stephenson Reading "The Box" at the moment which is pretty interesting.
我最近碰巧读了两本书，搭在一起看效果绝了：Bill Bryson 的《One Summer: America, 1927》和 Philip Roth 的《The Plot Against America》。我觉得 Bill Bryson 那本简直是有种润物细无声的天才感——他能把平时我完全不感兴趣的东西写得极其……
I recently, by accident, read two books that worked really well together: One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson The Plot Against America by Philip Roth The Bill Bryson book is, I think, a work of subtle genius - he makes stuff that I would normally have no interest in absolutely…
这些全都是比尔·布莱森写的，但一本都不是讲旅行的：《Shakespeare: the World as Stage》《One Summer: America, 1927》《The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way》《Made in America: an Informal History of the English Language in the US》《At Home: A Short History of Private Life》
All of these are by Bill Bryson but none are about travel: Shakespeare: the World as Stage One Summer: America, 1927 The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way Made in America: an Informal History of the English Language in the US At Home: A Short History of Private Life
……Peter Heather。考据非常详实、叙事极佳，探讨了罗马帝国在3到5世纪的境况。比起通常那种“蛮族入侵终结了帝国”的论调，他的视角别具一格。* Bill Bryson 的《One Summer: America, 1927》。Bryson 写的书我都爱看，这本也不例外。* Jonathan H. Ward 的《Rocket Ranch: The Nuts and Bolts of the Apollo Moon Program at Kennedy Space Center》。还读了……
…Peter Heather. Very well researched and written narrative examining how the Empire fared in the 3rd-5th centuries. Has a different perspective than the usual "Barbarian invasions ended the empire". * One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson. I love everything Bryson writes. This is no exception. * Rocket Ranch: The Nuts and Bolts of the Apollo Moon Program at Kennedy Space Center by Jonathan H. Ward. Also read…
Bill Bryson 写的任何书都行，尤其是《At Home》和《One Summer: America, 1927》，两本都太棒了。David McCullough 的《John Adams》，可能是有史以来最出色的历史传记。Richard Rhodes 的《The Making of the Atomic Bomb》，关于创立……的最棒记述。
Anything by Bill Bryson, but especially “At Home” and “One Summer: America, 1927”. Both are brilliant. “John Adams” by David McCullough. Possibly the best historical bio ever. “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rhodes. The best recounting of the founding…
……大萧条，后来又去南太平洋打仗，回来后做了民权工作者，这些都在他身上留下了不可磨灭的印记。我最近送了他一本 Bill Bryson 的《One Summer -- America, 1927》，他非常喜欢。他说这本书勾起了他很多回忆。
…Depression, and later going to war in the South Pacific and coming back and then working as a civil rights worker left an indelible mark on him. He really enjoyed a book I gave him recently, Bill Bryson's "One Summer -- America, 1927". He says that it brings back many memories.
