This Boy's Life
This unforgettable memoir, by one of our most gifted writers, introduces us to the young Toby Wolff, by turns tough and vulnerable, crafty and bumbling, and ultimately winning. Separated by divorce from his father and brother, Toby and his mother are constantly on the move, yet they develop an extraordinarily close, almost telepathic relationship. As Toby fights for identity and self-respect against the unrelenting hostility of a new stepfather, his experiences are at once poignant and comical, and Wolff does a masterful job of re-creating the frustrations and cruelties of adolescence. His various schemes - running away to Alaska, forging checks, and stealing cars - lead eventually to an act of outrageous self-invention that releases him into a new world of possibility.
温故（之一）
人类始终生活在历史的投影里。这投影，既非上帝的恩赐，也不是什么神做的手脚，而是源自人类将自己与动物区分开来的那个重要特征——记忆。历史的投影有过远有近，远的如原始祖先迈向文明渺然足迹，所的如昨天刚刚发生的事情。时间之流，不舍昼夜，不仅把已经发生的，而且终将把正在发生的以及行将发生的一切，都裹挟而去，统统融入历史的投影。最早意识到这投影价值的，不是别人，正是我们的至圣先师孔夫子，他老人家一句“温故而知新”，虽平白如话，却如醍醐灌顶。历史既是人类活动的归宿，更是面向未来的智慧之源。谈到历史与现实的关系，英国作家奥威尔的表述则更加直截了当，他说：谁掌握了历史，谁就掌握了现在。
