Steve Jobs Insanely great《乔布斯传》疯狂的伟大 REMOVING the sleeve reveals a bookthat is entirelywhite, except for the names of its author andsubject inelegant black type on the spine. It is theperfect design for the biography ofa man whoinsisted that even the innards of his products beexquisitelycrafted, and that his factory walls gleam inthe whitest white. 拆去封套,这本书完全是白色的,只有书脊上用黑色字体简洁的印有作者和书名。对于这样一个人物的自传,这是最完美的设计,他一直坚持他的产品哪怕是内部结构都要精雕细琢,也坚持工厂的墙壁要洁白得耀目。 The cover was the only part of thebook Steve Jobs wanted to control, writes Walter Isaacsonin his introduction.The rest of his long-awaited tome bears this out. Though Mr Jobs pushedthebiographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to pen his own, granting him more than40 interviews, this book offers a refreshing counterbalance to theadulation that followed hisdeath on October 5th at the age of 56. 沃尔特在序言里写到,尽管本书的封面是乔布斯唯一监督的部分,这部他期待已久的大部头的其他部分也延续了他的风格。虽然是乔布斯说服这位为爱因斯坦和富兰克林做传的传记作者来写他的传记,跟他做了40多次访谈,本书还是让人耳目一新享年56岁于10月5日去世的乔布斯,世人对其逝世后的溢美之词,本书做到了很好的权衡。 |
