内容简介:
A WALL STREET JOURNAL SUMMER PICK
A WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER
Warrior and writer, genius and crank, rider in the British
cavalry’s last great charge and inventor of the tank, Winston
Churchill led Britain to fight alone against Nazi Germany in the
fateful year of 1940 and set the standard for leading a democracy
at war. With penetrating insight and vivid anecdotes, Gretchen
Rubin makes Churchill accessible and meaningful to
twenty-first-century readers by analyzing the many contrasting
views of the man: he was an alcoholic, he was not; he was an
anachronism, he was a visionary; he was a racist, he was a
humanitarian; he was the most quotable man in the history of the
English language, he was a bore.
Like no other portrait of its famous subject, Forty Ways to Look
at Winston Churchill is a dazzling display of facts more improbable
than fiction. It brings to full realization the depiction of a man
too fabulous for any novelist to construct, too complex for even
the longest narrative to describe, and too significant ever to be
forgotten.

媒体评论
?A compelling read . . . Gretchen Rubin has produced a shrewd,
original, and utterly engaging book, one that achieves the
considerable feat of distilling an epic life to its essence while
deconstructing the art of biography. Forty Ways to Look at Winston
Churchill does for the writing of history what Wallace Stevens?s
?Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird? did for poetry?both does
it and shows us how it?s done.?
?JAMES ATLAS
Author of Bellow: A Biography
?At last! A book to put all the other books on Churchill into
perspective. The Great Man was in danger of becoming hidden by the
forest of verbiage in his memory. Gretchen Rubin cuts a clear path
to her subject, and along the way takes the reader on a fascinating
and hilarious journey.?
?AMANDA FOREMAN
Bestselling author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire
?Was there ever a better subject for biography? Heroic, petty,
noble, selfish, courageous, devious, grandiloquent, plain-speaking,
generous, tyrannical, Churchill was all these and more. Rubin
strives to capture the essence of her larger-than-life subject not
through a head-on assault, but by circling him and taking snapshots
from a multiplicity of angles. Her Forty Ways to Look at Winston
Churchill is a feat of intelligent compression, a stereoscopic
portrait for the space age, a biography in miniature, and not
least, a rattling good read.?
?MICHAEL SCAMMELL
