From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes

an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an

irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced

Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and

spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the

lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and

Egypt.

Said writes with

great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his

birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the

mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the

United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful

characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the

confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to

terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian

and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider. Richly detailed,

moving, often profound, Out of Place depicts a young man's

coming of age and the genesis of a great modern thinker.

我觉得美国人没有深度，不自在，只有表面的玩笑和队友之间的逢场作战的快乐，这些从来没有满足我。我总是觉得，置身同辈美国人之间，我若有所失，总想念别的语言，尤其是阿拉伯语——我在英语之外的生活、思想、感觉的语言。他们似乎不太重感情，不大有兴趣表达自己的态度和反应。这就是美国生活那种超常的意识形态思考、大家看同样的电视节目，穿同样的衣服，把日常生活的复杂交流局限于一种缺乏反思、记忆也是没有位置的最低层次。

不幸，他也在我内心留下另外一些东西，就是死命坚持做有用的事，事情一定要做好，“永不放弃”，可以说绝少例外。我不知闲暇或放松为何物，更特别的是，我没有累积成就的意识，每天都像一个新学期的开始，背后是大大空空的暑假，面前是不确定的明日。久而久之，“爱德华”变成一个苛求的监工，每天忙着登记缺点和失败，也努力累积义务和承诺，两张表此消彼长，又是彼此取消。“爱德华”每天都必须重新出发，一天既了，都觉得没有多少事情对劲。

“在古代，刘方式特别恐怖的惩罚”，原因在于这“不只意味着远离家庭和熟悉的地方，多年漫无目的地游荡，而且意味着成为永远的流浪者，永远离乡背井，一直与环境冲突，对于过去难以释怀，对于现在和未来满怀悲苦”

我母亲之遥离开阿拉伯语而说起英语，就生出一种比较客观而且严肃的语气，驱走她第一语言阿拉伯语那种充满宽纵和音乐性的亲昵。

我有本事表面上做功课，念书或练钢琴，同时心里想着完全不同、完全属于自己的事。

我了解到这两个字讲的是表面功夫的重要：fair play意思是大声告诉一个大人，说你的对手做了“不公平”的行为，sportdmanship意思是愤怒和抽粪绝不可以形于色。

From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.

Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider.
