内容介绍

书是有福气的伴侣--一本书，选择得当，就是一生的朋友。

 

"多读如多食，不消化全无用。

 

"如果我像其他人一样多读书，我就会像他们一样无知"。托马斯-霍布斯

 

 书籍会使人堕落吗？写得不好的书会使读者的思想变得敏锐还是迟钝？我们是否应该认真对待过度阅读会损害视力这一古老的观点？爱书人文集》

为这些问题以及其他许多问题提供了答案，书中收录了作家们对书籍、读者和图书馆的精彩思考，这些作家的作品都是世界上*著名、*受读者喜爱的。

几个世纪以来，书籍一直是作家们着迷的源泉，有时也是挫折的源泉。在《选集》的封面之间，是简-奥斯汀、乔治-艾略特和乔纳森-斯威夫特等人的小说节选，

他们都在自己的小说中赞美书页的美德。对书香情有独钟的读者会在查尔斯-狄更斯（Charles Dickens）那里找到同感，

他曾对 "新压的纸张散发出的宜人气味 "吟诗作赋。非常狂热的读者甚至会点头同意约翰-多恩的观点，他宣称："我将在阅读中死去"。文选》

还摘录了其他诗人对图书馆或书籍的思考，包括莎士比亚、华兹华斯、弥尔顿和乔叟。这些作品中还穿插了几个世纪以来散文家和日记作家的沉思，

其中包括塞缪尔-约翰逊、詹姆斯-博斯韦尔、约翰-罗斯金和米歇尔-德-蒙田。

这本选集收录了不同时代、不同流派的主要作家的作品，是所有藏书家都想在书架上找到的一本必备选集。

A blessed companion is a book—a book that, fitly chosen, is a lifelong friend.”—Douglas William Jerrold
 
“Much reading is like much eating, wholly useless without digestion.”—Robert South
 
“If I had read as much as other men, I should have been as ignorant as they.” —Thomas Hobbes
 
 Can books corrupt? Do badly written books sharpen or dull the minds of their readers? Ought we to take seriously the old saw that excessive reading can damage one’s sight? The Book Lovers’ Anthology offers answers to these questions and many more with a remarkable collection of reflections on books, readers, and libraries— by writers whose books are among the world’s best known and best loved.

Throughout the centuries, books have been a source of fascination— and sometimes frustration—for writers. Between the covers of the Anthology are excerpts from the novels of Jane Austen, George Eliot, and Jonathan Swift, among many others, all of whom paused in their fiction to extol the virtues of the written page. Those who are taken with the smell of books will find a like mind in Charles Dickens, who waxed poetic about the “pleasant smell of paper freshly pressed.” Very avid readers might even nod in knowing agreement with John Donne, who declared, “I shall die reading.” Other poets whose musings on libraries or books are excerpted for the Anthology include Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Milton, and Chaucer. These writings are interspersed by the meditations of essayists and diarists of centuries past—among them, Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, John Ruskin, and Michel de Montaigne.

With contributions from major writers across ages and genres, this is an essential anthology for which any bibliophile will want to find space on the shelf.
