4.Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush
《命運與權力:喬治·W·H·布什的美國奧德賽》
BY JON MEACHAM丨作者:喬恩·米查姆

???Recommendation 推薦詞
Jon Meacham’s new biography of George H.W. Bush accomplishes a neat trick.
喬恩·米查姆的老布什傳是壹個巧妙的設計。
In Meacham’s telling, Bush indeed lacked an ideological vision, was as overmatched in domestic policy as he was masterful on the global stage, benefited from his family’s influence, and remains overshadowed “by the myth of his predecessor and the drama of his sons' political lives.”
在米查姆的講述中,布什確實缺乏壹種意識形態視野,他對國內政策的掌控能力遠遜於對國際事務的處理能力,他得益於來自家庭的影響,卻至今仍活在前任的神話以及兒子戲劇性政治生涯的陰影之中。
???Review 點評
What Meacham so skillfully adds to this understanding — through extraordinary detail, deft writing and, thanks to his access to Bush’s diaries, an inner monologue of key moments in Bush’s presidency.
米查姆的細節描寫卓越,寫作方法巧妙,又有幸接觸到了老布什日記,由此很好地把握了他在任期內關鍵時刻的內心活動。
5.Fates and Furies《命運和暴怒》
BY LAUREN GROFF丨作者:羅倫·格羅夫

???Recommendation 推薦詞
The book’s first half concocts the blessed life of Lancelot “Lotto” Satterwhite, the adored son of a wealthy family who has great ambitions to be an actor. His wife, Mathilde, so long impoverished and alone, willingly takes on the chore of encouraging Lancelot.
作者在前半部分編造了男主的幸福生活,他是壹個富裕家庭的可愛兒子,想要當壹個演員。他的妻子瑪蒂爾達長期被貧窮和孤獨折磨,心甘情願地擔負起鼓勵這個自戀年輕人的苦差事。
And halfway through, Groff turns from “Fates” to “Furies.” Here’s a woman as determined as Antigone, as ferocious as Medea.- 新聞來源於其它媒體,內容不代表本站立場!
