具體描述
Tara Westover is an American author living in the UK. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. She spent her days working in her father's junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother, a self-taught herbalist and midwife. She was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom, and after that first taste, she pursued learning for a decade. She graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2008 and was subsequently awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She earned an MPhil from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and in 2010 was a visiting fellow at Harvard University. She returned to Cambridge, where she was awarded a PhD in history in 2014.
Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one’s closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.
用戶評價
低於預期吧，主要是有些書評捧得太狠瞭。 之前看瞭比爾蓋茨的書評，讓我以為這本書是一本可以教我們如何自學的書（或者起碼給一些啓發）。畢竟作者從未上過小學和中學，第一次上課時17歲，最後拿到瞭劍橋的PhD，但事實上卻並非如此。 感覺這本書其實不是關於我們通常所說的教育...
評分 評分##Westover傢族應該都是天資優秀的，從Tara的父母親白手起傢的生意可見一斑，而且讀瞭書的三兄妹都有很強的主動性和能力，前後紛紛獲得PhD （果然學習是階層流動的上上之選）。更吸引我的是Tara通過學習的過程不斷的發現自己：第一部受到傢庭暴力，雖然有氣憤不甘，卻也說不上想要什麼。到第二部，當Tara有瞭曆史、心理學的知識，她不僅聽從腦子裏的想法，還可以理性分析，與自己和解。當無法改變原生傢庭，就與他”帶病生存”。 對於原生傢庭，可能永遠逃不開眼界的局限，縱然我們盡可能提供給孩子環境，但是也有一天，他會看到我們的局限性，不過恰恰這是進步的根基。
