Book ID/图书代码： 12844015B85454
English Summary/英文概要： ’Damn, all my cheating secrets revealed. In book form’ Stephen Fry Which philosopher had the maddest hairstyle? Which novelist drank 50 cups of black coffee every day? What on earth did Simone de Beauvoir see in Jean-Paul Sartre? How to Sound Cultured offers a wry and yet profoundly useful look inside the mirrored palaces of high culture. Covering such inscrutable characters as Heidegger, Montaigne, Kahlo and Levi-Strauss (apparently not just a designer of jeans), inscrutable polymaths Thomas W. Hodgkinson and Hubert van den Bergh - the author of the acclaimed How to Sound Clever - have done the hard work of sorting the cultural wheat from the chaff. Read this book and you’ll never again mistake Rimbaud for Rambo or Georg Lukacs for George Lucas, you’ll know precisely when to drop Foucault’s name into a conversation and how to pronounce ’Borgesian’, and you’ll learn many more essential pointers for the intellectual life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 哪个哲学家的发型最劲爆？哪个小说家每天要喝50杯黑咖啡？波伏娃究竟看上了萨特哪点？本书通过讽刺的语调和深刻的见解带来有用的常识。书中还写到了一些神秘莫测的人物，比如哲学家黑格尔、散文家蒙田、画家卡萝、还有里维斯（他绝对不仅仅是牛仔裤的发明者那么简单）等等。本书作者是同样神秘莫测的博学家Thomas W. Hodgkinson和Hubert van den Bergh，他们很认真地对历史人物进行了去伪存真。读完这本书，你就再也不会将诗人兰波误认为猛男兰博，也不会把哲学家卢卡奇当做导演卢卡斯了，你还将了解很多谈话时候“不经意地”让人感觉很有文化的技巧。（LYR）
