昨晚夜半时分,浏览鲁汶心情论坛,发现有一仁兄提到鲁汶书展的事情。一看到那么多的书,而且是好书,便宜的好书,心里就有些小激动啊!平时,欧美的书在书店里面都是很贵很贵的,一本普普通通的书一般也要几十欧/美元,碰到一些专业的书,就更贵些了。上次买了本美国华人学者有关中国海洋史的书,三四百页的一本书竟然要差不多200刀!如果不是研究经费能报销的话,你说这样的价格怎么能伤得起!一个月就算买三四本这样的书也会把自己拉回到原始社会啊!穷学生穷学生,这时你就更能体会到了。
一看书展的帖子,里面提到说好书颇多,书价格要便宜很多。据说一本几欧就可以搞定。这样便宜的价格就是天朝的价格啊,能不小兴奋一把嘛。
后来就按图索骥,终于找到了2013年比利时书展的详细信息,书展主要是在根特、鲁汶、布鲁塞尔、安特卫普、科特赖克等地。遗憾的是:刚开始找到的一个网页中竟然没有根特,到底有木有搞错!!!后来查到了另外一个网页,上面提到根特也是有的。
最近一年都没有怎么买书了,离开澳门时搬书运书的辛苦还历历在目!五六架的书只能挑选两箱运回家,其余的都留在澳大了。本人准备先去2月末布鲁塞尔的那场探探情况,有兴趣通行的话联系我~

转发一个鲁汶书展的实地考察贴:(原帖发于2013-02-18,鲁汶心情, by seesky)
中午在家大扫除,突然接到朋友电话,问是否去鲁汶书展一看。前几天在研究所也曾看到小广告,当时觉得在鲁汶郊外,又想可能多为荷语书籍,故未留意。想起以往在杭州常去浙图淘旧书,在鲁汶更不应错过,故匆匆前往。书展在郊外的Brabantlaan,即布拉班特街。布拉班特大公国是12世纪至18世纪统治低地国家的政权,鲁汶曾是该公爵领地内重要的商贸中心,街道名亦有留痕。1995年,仍然是语言和政治争端的问题,原来的布拉班特省一分为二,北部是佛拉芒布拉班特,南部则是瓦隆布拉班特,而鲁汶成了北布拉班特的省会。
630公交车行驶了20分钟,终于到了布拉班特公爵灵魂不散之地。满车的人居然都是去书市的。再看停车场里, 停着数百辆私家车。市场则是很大的L形,走进去一看两个大屋子,如同两个大足球场,人群则摩肩接踵。入口处有推车和篮筐,宛如超市。我想无非是简单一逛,故未提篮。朋友说,万一走散,等会电话联系。我还不以为然,怎么可能走散呢。等我稍稍一逛,拿了三五本在手中,就知道原先判断有误,复又到门边来取篮筐。
书按主题分类,一屋中有孩童书,旅游书,历史类、人物传记类、幽默读物、动植物等,另一屋则为烹调、文学,小说、惊悚书等尤其多。我在历史类驻足甚久,有讲西方基督教历史的、西方艺术史、英国史、一战二战纪实等、亦有古罗马的介绍,且纸张精美、图片靓丽,令人爱不释手。且多数书为两三欧,多则五六欧,十欧则为巨著。文学中不乏《狄更斯全集》、《菲茨杰拉德全集》等等,书廉且厚,我如今已甚少读小说,故虽留恋,但一本未取。唯有一《格林童话》,只需两欧,因想起有一次,小比说起格林童话里扔一种面包屑认路的故事,面包屑的英文词,我茫然不知,故想买一本稍作了解。偶有见谈中国语言文化和社会的英文书籍,则为我所钟爱,还发现有苏童和莫言小说的英译本,故也买下。因为飞机限重的缘故,不能多买,最后不得不放回原处多本。最后拣点自己所获,共买书11本,花钱48欧,涉及西方历史、艺术、文化、哲学、文学书籍7本,涉及中国文字、文学书籍4本。此刻唯一头痛的是,行李箱里能否放下?
西人爱读书,由此见一斑(西方地铁站里常见人捧着厚待千夜的书在读,千万别认为他是装模做样,见他们快下车时总是书签一插,的确在挤时间读书呢。)。书展里,有人推着超市那种车,居然装了满满一车!就像是在超市里买了一车的萝卜青菜牛肉猪肉奶酪啤酒巧克力一样,记得书展有一种书的主题写着:brain food,多为自然科学之书,许是费脑之故,故得名。我们亦常说,书乃精神食粮。黄山谷有一句名言:“三日不读书,便觉语言无味,面目可憎。”不仅面目可憎,按照brain food的说法,不读书,会“脑死亡”啊!
Since I have Kindle, it is not neccessary to buy printed books for me. Of course what I read is just for fun.
