WILSON'S grumpy withdrawal from the contemporary American scene in his later years was never altogether convincing. ''When, for example, I look through Life magazine,'' he remarked on reaching 60 in 1956, ''I feel that I do not belong to the country depicted there, that I do not even live in that country.'' Edmund Wilson

What can we learn from animal emotions? Until recently for a scientist to examine the grumpiness of a cat, the joy of a dog, or the unhappiness of a zoo elephant may not have been considered the stuff of serious research.

That's no longer the case. Scientists are increasingly curious about what emotions animals are feeling and what emotions animals share with humans?

Madeleine Amberger explores the world of animal emotions for Spectrum.

尾聲

各界推薦

「這是一本讓人從頭笑到尾的書。因為，作者很不快樂，他卻突發奇想，以美國駐外記者的嚴謹態度，私人花費大量旅費和時間，到快樂之國採訪，完成旅行後，以辛辣諷刺的筆法，把快樂學者稱為天堂的現況，誠實地披露出來。其中半數以上的國家，我也曾經到訪，必須承認，憑著多年海外報導的資歷，他對不同國家和文化的描寫功力，令人絕倒。如果有冷面笑匠國際比賽，他絕對名列前茅，建議看書時，最好選一把穩固的椅子。有趣的是，在尋找快樂的過程中，現代人不快樂的原因，也像臭蟲一隻一隻被揪出來，那麼，這本書有一個快樂結局，像童話一樣嗎？我無法回答，因為已經笑到爬不起來了。」
