媒体评论

　　“Suspenseful. . . . Rollicking. . . . Reads with all the pace

and excitement of a movie thriller. . . . The Lost City of Z is at

once a biography, a detective story and a wonderfully vivid piece

of travel writing that combines Bruce Chatwinesque powers of

observation with a Waugh-like sense of the absurd. Mr. Grann treats

us to a harrowing reconstruction of Fawcett’s forays into the

Amazonian jungle, as well as an evocative rendering of the vanished

age of exploration.”

　　—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

　　“Breathtaking. . . . Grann brings Fawcett’s remarkable story to a

beautifully written, perfectly paced fruition. . . . Any writer who

can breathe life into letters written by scientists in the early

1900s deserves more than a hat tip.”

　　—The Los Angeles Times

　　“Brilliant. . . . Impressively researched and skillfully crafted.

. . . Grann makes abundantly clear in this fascinating, epic story

of exploration and obsession, [that] the lethal attraction of the

Amazon mystery remains strong.”

　　—The Boston Globe

　　“A smart biographical page-turner.”

　　—USA Today

　　“Grann escapes death and tracks down Z, giving the reader the

kind of Indiana Jones kicks best experienced vicariously.”

　　—Details

　　“A riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of

adventure.”

　　—John Grisham

Fawcett’s expeditions with all the pace of a white-knuckle

adventure story. . . . A thrill ride from start to finish.”

　　—The Washington Post

　　“The story of Z goes to the heart of the central questions of our

age. In the battle between man and a hostile environment, who wins?

A fascinating and brilliant book.”

　　—Malcolm Gladwell

　　“A spellbinding tale that produces fresh surprises around each

turn. . . . An amazing story.”

　　—Dallas Morning News

　　“A fascinating yarn that touches on science, history, and some

truly obsessive personalities.”

　　—Entertainment Weekly

　　“There is something about Fawcett’s spirit and self-assurance

that captivates. . . . To read The Lost City of Z is to feel

grateful that Grann himself bothered to set out for the Amazon in

search of the bones of an explorer whose body was long ago

reclaimed by the jungle.”

　　—Christian Science Monitor

　　“In a hyperconnected and exhaustively charted world, here is a

revelation about wildness and the mad desire to plunge into it. . .

. Unfathomably riveting. . . . Grann wildly delivers the

goods.”

　　—GQ

　　“A blockbuster tale of adventure.”

　　—New York Observer

　　“Marvelous. . . . [Grann] combines a colorful narrative of

Fawcett’s early life, military career, jungle treks, theories and

even conversations with a biography of an extraordinary man and an

overview of the last great and highly competitive age of

exploration.”

　　—Bloomberg News

　　“A blood-stirring reading experience.”

　　—The Denver Post

　　“A deeply satisfying revelation. . . . What could be

better—obsession, mystery, deadly insects, shrunken heads,

suppurating wounds, hostile tribesmen—all for us to savor in our

homes, safely before the fire.”

　　—Erik Larson

　　“What makes Mr. Grann’s telling of the story so captivating is

that he decides not simply to go off in search of yet more relics

of our absent hero—but to go off himself in search of the city that

Fawcett was looking for so heroically when he suddenly went

AWOL.”

　　—Simon Winchester, The Wall Street Journal

　　“Fast-paced adventure. . . . Grann delights us with the lure of

obsession under a canopy of trees.”

　　—Cleveland Plain Dealer

　　“Absorbing and fair-minded. . . . In restoring a life that

history has swallowed from general view, and vindicating a crackpot

theory, Mr. Grann has also exposed the toll that explorers often

took on those who loved or depended on them.”

　　—Richard B. Woodward, The New York Times

　　“An engrossing book, whose protagonist could outmarch Lara Croft

and out-think Indiana Jones. . . . It’s almost enough to make you

reach for a backpack.”

　　—The Daily Telegraph (London)

　　“A riveting adventure-mystery in the tradition of Conan Doyle’s

The Lost World, said to be inspired by Fawcett.”

　　—The Toronto Star

　　“Perfect for armchair travelers and readers with fond childhood

memories of books recounting tales of adventure in the dark wild. .

. . What [Grann] found should help change how we think about the

Amazon. . . . Read it, shiver with delight and thank your lucky

stars you’re never going to get as close to a candirú as Fawcett

and Grann did. (Look it up on Wikipedia, if you dare.)” —Richmond

Times-Dispatch

　　“Thrilling. . . . What a story. . . . The beauty is that as

incredible as it is, it’s true.”

　　—Daily News

Victorian at the center, trippy at the edges, as if one of those

stern men of Conrad had found himself trapped in a novel by García

Márquez.”

　　—Rich Cohen, The New York Times Book Review

　　“Did Grann find the lost city? . . . It’s worth reading every

page of this marvelous book to find out.”

　　—Houston Chronicle

　　“Grann is no hard-as-nails explorer, and his self-deprecating

personal narrative . . . serves as a comic counterpoint to the

superhuman exploits of Fawcett. Grann may not be able to hack the

wilderness very well, but as a storyteller he’s first-rate.”

—Outside

　　“Grann has an extraordinary sense of pacing, and his scenes of

forest adventure are dispatched in passages of swift, arresting

simplicity. . . . A splendid, suspenseful book.”

　　—Bookforum

　　“With this riveting work, David Grann emerges on our national

landscape as a major new talent. His superb writing style, his

skills as a reporter, his masterful use of historical and

scientific documents, and his stunning storytelling ability are on

full display here, producing an endlessly absorbing tale about a

magical subject that captivates from start to finish. This is a

terrific book.”

　　—Doris Kearns Goodwin

　　“A thrilling yarn. . . . What [Grann] finds is what makes The

Lost City of Z so gratifying, and in the end he, and we along with

him, find ourselves stunned by what Percy Fawcett

discovered.”

　　—The Oregonian

　　“Grann paints a vivid picture of the final days of trail-blazing,

Earth-bound grand exploration, before airplanes and radios began

stripping the mystery from the unknown parts of the world.”

　　—The Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, VA)

　　“Meticulously researched and spellbinding. . . . Reads like a

cross between an Indiana Jones adventure and a Gabriel Garcia

Marquez novel. . . . Gripping.”

　　—The Ottawa Citizen

　　“Irresistible. . . . At once a biography of Fawcett, a history of

the era of exploration, a science book on the nature and

ethnography of the Amazon and a thrilling armchair adventure. . . .

[It] has everything to fire the imagination: Romance, nostalgia,

bravery, monomania, hardship, adventure, science, tragedy,

mystery.”

　　—South Florida Sun Sentinel

　　“The Lost City of Z is meticulously researched, riveting and

horrifying, guided by a core mystery that seems unimaginable and an

author driven into the depths of the jungle by his daring to

imagine it.”

　　—Philadelphia City Paper

　　“Absorbing. . . . A wonderful story of a lost age of heroic

exploration.”

　　—The Sunday Times (London)

　　“Tantalizing. . . . Grann gives us a glimpse of the vanished age

of exploration [as well as] a suspenseful, often very funny account

of his own trek as a complete amateur into the ‘green hell’ of the

Amazon. . . . Immensely entertaining.”

　　—The Gazette (Montreal)

　　“Thankfully, for those of us who secretly live and breath for the

swashbuckling adventure tale, every now and then a book comes along

that renews our faith in the epic quest narrative, its ability to

inform and enlighten even as it feeds our most primal need for

dramatic amusement. [The Lost City of Z] succeeds tremendously in

these pursuits.”

　　—The Globe and Mail (Canada)

• 我们总要先成为自己

  作者：徐疯疯 发布时间：2014-12-09 12:41:42

  这本书我读了很久，里面有很多话让我心有戚戚或者恍然大悟，唉，原来是这样。可以说这是一本从多维度解析的书，它适合心理治疗师，因为这本来就是一个治疗师的自述；它也是一本优秀的家庭读物，因为他从心理学的角度的以一个真实的治疗案例故事诉说了家庭里常见的状况。它易读，不枯燥。但是这都不是我最想推荐它的理由，我最喜欢的是它透露出来的一种观念：成为你自己吧！只有成为了你自己，才能更好的迈入亲密关系，才能更好的迈入家庭生活。

  在这本书提到的故事是一个五口之家的家庭治疗故事，作者是心理治疗师的助手，辅助他治疗这个家庭，他以旁观者的目光详尽并客观地把患者布莱斯一家的家庭情况娓娓道来。而这种“家庭病”其实是普适的。家，其实并不是我们从小被灌输的那种印象，它是温馨的港湾，我们的避风港什么的。家是一个小社会的缩影，很多的家庭观念并不独立在这个世界之外。我们在外界收到的压迫，在家里可能同样避免不了，干脆那是因为我们最亲密的人，我们受伤更严重。

  故事的开始是从布莱斯一家因为大女儿克劳迪娅的问题而来的，可是家庭治疗师们却连带指出了他们家庭的问题，实质是因为布莱斯夫妇婚姻出了问题。夫妻关系会影响子女这个观点我是知道的。在以前读过的书和自我感触中，我特别赞成在一个家庭中夫妻关系是应该大于亲子关系的。但是我曾经的观点里，只是单纯的认为父亲或母亲过于倾向亲子，这可能会导致另一方情感空虚，进而导致家庭问题出现。或者是夫妻关系不和，一方选择过于亲子为情感填补，从此婚姻得不到补救，而且孩子本身可能被控制成为巨婴或者成长受到限制。

  但是书里的解析又给了我新的视野，夫妻感情由“好”向“坏”滑落，两人都失去当初对彼此的安全感，无意识之中就可能通过孩子向对方施压，孩子成为替罪羊。或者孩子成为家庭的拯救者，通过制造更大的状况而将父母推向合作的一方。

  父母也乐意默认这种模式，因为他们不能正视他们的婚姻问题。事实上婚姻问题是家庭病的根本。在这本书中，医生卡尔指出布莱斯夫妇的问题在于，他们对于双方要求过高。布莱斯太太卡罗琳对丈夫大卫的依赖性又过强。医生们首先估计卡罗琳活出她自己，打破惯常相处模式，尝试一下没有大卫的日子。

  打破惯常模式，其实就等于脱出两人酝酿多年的共生束缚。我们总是先要成为我，成为自己的治疗师，才能以另一个客观的视角，看出在以前生活中无意识的被卷入矛盾的一些行为，从而避免它，留有余力更好的处理它。

  神奇的是，夫妻两人间形成的共生模式，往往从小时候就注定了。这和我们的原生家庭有关系。父母之间的相处模式，父母对待我们的方式，都会被我们内化，我们无意识就会再次寻找和他们相似的人，因为那才是我们熟悉的。

  往往，我们从原生家庭带来的孤独，未经自我处理便代入新的家庭，希望新的家庭能给我们拯救的愿望往往会破灭。不必借由婚姻逃避孤独，孤独有它的好。正如书中所提到的，在与孤独的战斗中，我们会发现我们是能够忍受最基本的焦虑的——“在这个可怕的世界上，我们就是一个独立的生命体。”

  对，生命本就是孤独的，没有人能拯救我们，除了我们自己。我们的朋友家人能做到的只是和我们互相扶持。如果我们把本应自我处理的问题寄托在对方身上，问题不一定会解决，反而是对自己对方的不负责任。至少我是这样认为的。

  所以，在上路之前先打理好自己吧。

  对于日战，我没有什么好说的。

  但对于家庭，这本书看的我很迷茫。

  好像是蔡康永说的，看中国人的书，总觉得不爽气，因为家族层层叠叠地挤压，故事里的主角都活的很憋屈。这么想想，的确是这样，关于战争和生活的，在俄国小说里，比如战争与和平，男主角安德烈拷问的永远是自己的灵魂。在美国小说里，哪怕在集中营里充满了残酷荒谬，当然有软弱的时候，但总的来说充满了人性的斗争和灵性。但在四世同堂里，祁瑞宣在前四分之三的版本里只有细枝末节的顾虑，忧愁，自我安慰和自我蔑视——没有“我”在里面，而永远是担心着别人的生活，别人的眼光，和自古以来的规矩。除了老二瑞丰以外，家里的人当然都是好人，善良，可爱，为他人着想，但这样的好人，构建了一个无论如何也没有活力的组合体。

  当然可以说，在战争年代，普通平头老百姓，怎么也和活力啊，幸福啊没有关系。但如果不是战争年代呢，如果是现在呢？我们心里有没有住着一个祁瑞宣，虽然儒雅，但却因为细枝末节的烦恼和琐碎生生把自己逼的不幸福。

  对于家庭，我们能不能自私一点？

  是的，在书里，如果祁瑞宣一走了之，这个家就毁了。祁老人，韵梅，天佑，小顺子，妞妞……大概都活不下去了。但问题是客观地想，抛开主角光环和情节需要，他不走，这个家就活下去了吗？再吃几年共和面，大家都饿死了吧。不如走，好像钱老人，孙子都不要看了，好像老三瑞全，在山洞里掐死他曾经的恋人。

  作为一个只有在历史书里知道战争的人，我当然无法切实深刻地把这本小说当成抗战小说来得到共鸣，但是我看到，在家庭的名义下，在爱的名义下，有许多人甘愿活成一个奴隶，还是那么不快乐的奴隶。

  有多少人，不是因为喜欢，而是为了家庭稳定而恋爱，而结婚，而工作，而抚养孩子。我们可以把这种为了他人而勉强自己的行为称之为“责任”，但我怀疑，当别人的要求和自身的原则有冲突时，当我们为了所谓的“家庭”不再让自己充满勇气，培育激情去计谋去规划去奋斗的自己的生活时，这种道德和责任真的可以变成幸福的另一条路么？而且我也怀疑，当一个人自身不幸福的时候，他所愁眉苦脸所负担下来的责任，又真的对谁有益处吗？

  在看书的时候，我就在想，哪怕瑞宣一走了之，也许韵梅也可以像刘太太一样，做着一些违法但有尊严的勾当养儿育女。也许会被毙了，但这种时候，横竖是个死，苟且偷生慢慢饿死，难道真的比放手一搏有尊严吗？在希腊，文化里有悲剧文化，许多壮烈的让生命为之炫目的死亡。但我觉得，我们的文化里太多的是自以为是的处世文化，是好死不如赖活的可怜文化，是对生命无意义流逝后的无意义的消费文化，是大丈夫可受胯下之辱的安慰文化——我不知道我想的对不对，但这种感觉让我憋屈。

  当然了，我坚定第认为四世同堂是一本好书。我认为他好的道理，不是因为他描写了日本人的残酷残忍，汉奸的可怜可叹，或者培养了我的爱国情操什么的，我觉得他好，是他刺痛了我，刺痛我心里不要住着一个祁瑞宣，刺痛我应该时时督促自己聊解一下悲剧文化，了解如何相信他人有自保能力并为自己的灵魂而奋斗，同时，了解一下不以生死，不以成败论英雄的豪迈。
