Upon that much we can probably agree
without anyfurther argument. But when I say, "Art is
universal,"there is an immediate danger that you will think of
art(of either music or painting or sculpture or dancing) as if it
were somesort of universal language, understood by everybody in
every part ofthe world. Which of course is not true at all. What
happens to be the mostsublime form of music Io me, who am sitting
at my desk upstairs-sayBach's Fugue in G minor-is just so much
unpleasant noise to my poorwife, who within a few minutes will be
copying these pagesdownstairs, far removed from the gramophone and
the fiddle.

亨德里克·威廉·房龙(1882～1944)：荷裔美国人，著名学者。他是出色的通俗作家，在历史、文化、文明、科学等方面都有著作，而且读者众多。他是伟大的知识普及者，大师级人物。从1913年起，他开始写书，直到1921年写出《人类的故事》，一举成名，从此饮誉世界。代表作包括《宽容》、《圣经的故事》、《发明的故事》、《房龙地理》等。郁达夫曾说。房龙的笔有一种魔力。干燥无味的科学常识经他那么一写。变得娓娓动人。

AN AFTERTHOUGHT

插图：The music of johann Sebastian Bach was a matter of constant imtation to his employers in Leipzig. The Emperorjoseph ii of Austria complained to Herr Mozart that there were "too many notes" in his music. Richard Wagner scompositions were hooted off the concert platform. Arab or Chinese music,that makes the average Arab or Chinese roll his eyes in deep rapture, happens to affect me personally as ifl were listening to a bitterly contested cat fight in the neighbor's back yard.Wherefore, when I say that art is uruversal, I merely mean that art is not bound to any particular country or to any particular period of time. For art is as old as the human race and it is just as much part of man as are his eyes or his ears or his hunger or his thirst. The lowest savage of the most desolate part of Australia,who in a great many ways is quite inferior to the animals which share his loneliness, who has never even learned how to build himself a house or how to wear clothes, had developed a very interesting art of his own. And while we have discovered several groups of natives who have no conception whatsoever of religion, we have never, as far as I know, come across a race（no matter how far it happened to be removed from the center of civilization） that was completely without some form of artistic expression.

房龙的经典之一。非常好！

房龙的作品因为其本身的哲理性，文字看似难度不大，但要理解就要慢慢品味了。书页不是那种劣质的苍白色，而是米黄色，加上一些配图，看着也不累。

庞龙书差不多都买起了,很喜欢他的作品!而且也学英语!!

此书内容经典，质量很好

很不错，彩图也很好，比亚马逊要便宜

和11岁的女儿一起看 她觉得有点难懂 英语还是很舒服 价钱也蛮便宜的

质量绝对很好 内容绝对好看

书的纸张，印刷都很好，就是书的顶部有些脏。

这本书，纸质无可挑剔，质量上乘。但是就内容来说，有印刷错误，让我感到很遗憾。（单词拼写错误，两个单词之间没有空格等等。但是还好，不影响阅读）

好书，但需要时间慢慢读

昨天下午下的单，今天中午就收到书了，再次为给力的物流鼓掌~~其实书还没看，但房龙的书内容不用说大家都知道好的，本人比较喜欢历史于是本书相当合我口味真正想好好说说的是它的是书本身啊，因为原版太贵了所以才选择了这个版本，但本书真是让我相当的满意啊，纸质不错，用的是带米黄色的纸而且不是那种白的刺眼的纸，全书除了出版社名外暂时没看到其他中文，一下感觉就不一样了！房龙的小手绘图也印的好可爱，把我给萌地啊~~书内还有几页彩图，还有两张小小的藏书票（？）唉总之真是喜欢这套书，物美价廉啊
