商品描述
A renowned musician in his 85th year explores the nature of wisdom, how we learn to recognize it, and how we pass it forward. In this entrancing memoir, timeless questions about music and life are explored by a master musician in his 85th year. The stern father who built an empire of words; the solipsistic uncle whose hypnotic voice calmed millions: these are just early glimpses of Mathieu's memory. Soon he is crimped into an overhead baggage rack in Stan Kenton's tour bus as scenes of scotch-soaked melancholy play out below; he is sharing late-night quarts of ice cream with Duke Ellington in his hotel room; he is co-inventing improvisational theater at Chicago's Second City with Alan Arkin and Mike Nichols; he is receiving the title of Sufi sheikh from an heir of Inayat Khan; and he is gleaning wisdom from a woman bundling firewood in Bali.
In prose at once wry and lyrical, Mathieu carries the reader through the adventures and misadventures of a scintillating and deeply examined life.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一位享譽盛名的音樂家在他85歲的年紀中探索智慧的本質，我們如何學會辨識智慧，以及我們如何將其傳承下去。
在這本迷人的回憶錄中，一位85歲的大師音樂家探索了關於音樂和生活的永恆問題。嚴厲的父親建立了一個詞語帝國；自我中心的叔叔用他催眠般的聲音安撫了數百萬人：這些只是馬修記憶中的早期片段。很快，他被塞進斯坦·肯頓（Stan Kenton）的巡演巴士的頂架上，下面是充滿蘇格蘭威士忌的憂鬱場景；他在杜克·艾靈頓（Duke Ellington）的飯店房間裡與他分享深夜的冰淇淋；他與艾倫·阿金（Alan Arkin）和邁克·尼科爾斯（Mike Nichols）一起在芝加哥的第二城市（Second City）共同創造即興劇場；他從伊納亞特·汗（Inayat Khan）的繼承人那裡獲得蘇菲教授的頭銜；他從巴厘島一位捆綁柴火的女人那裡獲得智慧。
馬修以一種既詼諧又抒情的散文，帶領讀者穿越一個充滿精彩和深入探討的生活的冒險和不幸。
