WHAT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT ANIMALS

Book ID/图书代码： 11701210B42230

English Summary/英文概要： What does Jenny Diski know about animals? She’s really not sure. There is, however, one thing of which she is certain: our relationships with and attitudes to animals are worth thinking about. In WHAT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT ANIMALS, she shows why. She sets out to investigate what she does and doesn’t know about animals. She remembers the stuffed cuddly creatures from her childhood; the animal books she read; the cartoons she watched; the strays she found; the animals who have lived and still live with her; the animals she has observed close up, and those she has feared. She examines human beings, too, and the way in which they have looked at, studied, treated and written about the non-human creatures with whom we share the planet. Subtle, intelligent and brilliantly observed, WHAT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT ANIMALS is an engaging look at what it means to be human and what it means to be animal.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 关于动物，詹妮•迪斯基知道些什么呢？其实她自己也不确定。但是有一件事情她可以肯定：人类和动物之间的关系以及我们对它们的态度是值得思考的。在《动物们不为人知的故事》中，詹妮解释了原因。她列出了自己需要调查了解的动物们的故事。她记得小时候养得可爱毛绒动物，阅读的关于动物的书籍，看过的漫画，她发现的流浪狗，还有她曾经养过以及现在正在养着的动物，他曾经近距离观察过的动物，还有让她害怕的动物。在书中，她也审视人类，以及他们观察、研究、对待和记录这个星球上非生物体的方式。细致入微而又智慧精辟，《动物们不为人知的故事》从启发的视角探究人类存在的意义以及动物对人类的意义。(兼职翻译-JDM)

Awards/获奖情况：“《动物们不为人知的故事》是一次运用无穷技能、学识和敏锐感的社会哲学研究，看起来却像一本旅游类书籍。迪斯基注入了一个想法，没有任何其他人涉足，带领我们踏上探究人类与动物关系这片黑暗大陆的跋涉旅程。[...]迪斯基在矛盾领域撞击人类对动物的责任。她认为我们应该真诚地面对动物的存在。人类在屠宰场与电池养殖场给动物们造成的苦难，形同“愚民罪行”。不过，她不能因为自己的正义而不爱吃肉。当人们钟情于素食主义时，她还是把手伸向了牛排。迪斯基作品的吸引力在于机智、敏捷、毫无威胁却能引起争议的语气以及纯洁的道德感。她的书是很奇妙，充满智慧的亮点而又风趣温暖，值得一读。这也是一次无人幸免的道德抨击，甚至是作者本身。”——露丝•帕德尔，《卫报》，(http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/nov/27/about-animals-jenny-diski-review)
