At Home: A Short History of Private Life 英文原版-《趣味生活简史》

一部居家生活史就是人类不断追求舒适的历史，具有讽刺意味的是，如果为了过得舒适和快乐而无休止地索取，我们最终会制造出一个既不舒适又无快乐可言的世界。作者以强烈的好奇心、超人的智慧、独具一格的文笔和娴熟的叙事方式将《万物简史》脍炙人口的风格延续到字里行间，成就了这部思想性与趣味性兼具的大作。

商品描述: What does history really consists of? Centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - sleeping, eating, having sex, endeavouring to get comfortable. And where did all these normal activities take place? At home. This was the thought that inspired Bill Bryson to start a journey around the rooms of his own house, an 1851 Norfolk rectory, to consider how the ordinary things in life came to be. And what he discovered are surprising connections to anything from the Crystal Palace to the Eiffel Tower, from scurvy to body-snatching, from bedbugs to the Industrial Revolution, and just about everything else that has ever happened, resulting in one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live.
