The Education of Henry Adams 是波士顿人 Henry Adams 的自传。当七十岁生日临近、“心灵醒悟过来，发现自己茫然凝视着死亡的虚无”时，Adams 撰写并自费印制了 100 本他的“Education”，反思了 19 世纪发生的波澜壮阔的事件。Adams 沉思于自己在一生中所经历的科技飞速膨胀面前所产生的迷茫感。在他去世后，该书正式公开出版，不仅成为畅销书，更斩获了 Pulitzer Prize。

……试图把各种千头万绪串在一起。那篇关于黑魔法的文章似乎挺有意思。不过我最近对“人生意义”这类话题的个人偏好，更倾向于《亨利·亚当斯的教育》里那种自由不羁的心智和犀利的洞察，而不是某种沉重笨拙的“意义学”。我很怀疑他划分的那些小类别怎么会如此工整，除了口头上提及外几乎看不到什么真正的自我反省，而且似乎缺乏幽默感，尽管……
…try to pull together diverse threads. The black magic article seems kinda interesting. But my personal taste in "meaning of life" stuff these days is more the free spirit and cutting judgements of "The Education of Henry Adams" than a heavy-handed ology of meaningness. I'm suspicious of how tidy all his little categories are, how little self-awareness is exemplified (as opposed to mentioned), the seeming lack of humor despite…
……一个仅凭 19 世纪初技术的新生国家做出那些影响深远的重大决策，确实令人叹为观止。你可能也会喜欢他在 1918 年临终前写的那部冷嘲热讽的回忆录：《亨利·亚当斯的教育》。
…something breath-taking about far-reaching decisions being made by a young nation with only early 19th-century technology. You might also enjoy the sardonic memoir he wrote just before he died in 1918: "The Education of Henry Adams."

《纽约书评》（NYRB）出过一本很棒的小册子，收录了亚当斯《1800-1816年美国史》的开篇和结语章节。虽然《亨利·亚当斯的教育》既有趣又引人入胜，但这套历史巨著的水准要高得多。伊沃·温特斯（Yvor Winters）那本主要是文学批评的《In Defense of Reason》里，有我读过关于亚当斯最精彩的一篇文章，探讨了链接中提到的部分……
NYRB has brought out an excellent slim volume having the opening and closing chapters of Adams's history of the US 1800-1816. Interesting and amusing though The Education of Henry Adams is, the history is much superior. Yvor Winters's book, In Defense of Reason, a volume mostly of literary criticism has the best essay on Adams that I have ever read, addressing some of what the linked…
我不同意 civilian 的帖子，但我认为他确实说中了一些东西。除了诺亚·韦伯斯特（Noah Webster）和本杰明·斯波克（Benjamin Spock），我很难看出其他人的塑造力。《亨利·亚当斯的教育》固然包含一些有趣的章节，尽管它远称不上亚当斯最好的作品——但除了偶尔出现在课堂书单上，它究竟对美国产生了什么塑造作用？同样，还有很多优秀而复杂的作品……
I don't agree with civilian's post, but I think that he is onto something. Once you get past Noah Webster and Benjamin Spock, the shaping effect is hard for me to see. The Education of Henry Adams includes some interesting chapters, though it is not nearly Adams's best work: yet what in America has it shaped other than the occasional class reading list? Similarly there are fine and complex works…
