八十岁的全庸是我们这个时代的一个神话，有人说他是“文坛侠圣”，有人称他为香港“良知的灯塔”，也有人认为他一钱不值。其实，媒体和大众眼中的金庸都是神坛之上的金庸。 这是第一部以平视的眼光写下的《金庸传》。作者以客观、理性的尺度，依据大量翔实可信的史料，写出了一个真实的人，一个出类拔萃的武侠小说家，一个报业巨子，一个备受争议的社会活动家。忠实地再现了金庸青少年时代备历艰辛的求学生活、创作武侠小说和创立《明报》的过程，从中可以看到他成长的脚印，奋斗的汗水和思想的脉络。本书首次利用第一手的档案，挖掘出不少鲜为人知的珍贵资料，矫正了有关金庸生平的许多讹误。 在这部传记中，您将看到一个神坛之下的金庸，一个同样有七情六欲的普通人，人性中的欢乐与悲伤、高尚与卑微、天才与平庸、谦逊与傲慢……都能在他身上找到。他的理想、事业、婚姻……从各个侧面反映出历史的曲折和变化，他的思想与故事折射出了大时代的星星点点。

屠格涅夫曾指出，赫尔岑“在刻画他所遇到的人物的性格方面是没有敌手的”。本书艺术地再现了19世纪欧洲解放运动的许多历史人物，如马志尼、加里波第、科苏特、蒲鲁东、路易·勃朗等，思想界和文学界的一些知名人士，如罗伯特。欧文、雨果、密茨凯维奇等，40年代俄国知识分子的优秀代表，如别林斯基、恰达耶夫和许多十二月党人。赫尔岑的人物画像从来不着重外表，他总是选择具有典型意义的事件或细节，在适当的场合刻画他们的精神面貌，因此有时寥寥数笔，便能使人物栩栩如生，给读者留下深刻的印象。 赫尔岑经历了错综复杂的一生，他的回忆录包含着十分丰富的内容，它的艺术感染力更使它不仅成为俄罗斯文学中，也成为世界文学中一份珍贵的遗产。我们今天阅读这样一部书，除了它在文学写作上的卓越成就外，还可以了解到许多东西。 《往事与随想》是赫尔岑用血和泪写成的回忆录，它不仅忠实而真诚地记载了他的一生，而且正如他所说，这是“历史在一个偶然走上它的道路的人身上的反映”。全书的覆盖面相当广，从1812年的卫国战争，十二月党人的起义，40年代俄国先进知识分子的生活和思想，1848年欧洲的革命风云，反动的资产阶级政权对人民的血腥镇压，直到50年代伦敦各国流亡者的活动和宗派斗争，60年代俄国的社会政治面貌和新一代革命者——赫尔岑所说的“未来风暴的年轻舵手”的成长，几乎包括了19世纪初叶至巴黎公社前夕的整个历史时期。赫尔岑在俄国的经历使他接触了上自王公大臣，下至贩夫走卒的形形色色的人们，他的描绘构成了一部“俄罗斯生活的百科全书”。他来到西欧后，又碰到了1848年的革命高潮，目睹了欧洲民族民主运动波澜壮阔的群众场面，也经历了斗争失败后的惨痛景象。他是作为历史见证人写他的回忆录的，它的一个最显著的特点，便在于他不是从个人的角度，而是从社会发展的角度来描绘一切，评价一切。按照他自己的说法，这不是简单的编年史或大事记；它有统一的出发点，那就是对人民解放事业的深切关怀和对进步社会思想的热情探索。 赫尔岑不仅是艺术家，也是政论家。早在40年代别林斯基即已指出，赫尔岑的艺术作品的最大特点在于“思想的威力”。他的回忆录也是这样。赫尔岑总是站在维护进步事业的高度，评价一切历史事件和人物的活动。在赫尔岑看来，一个作家的社会责任是首要的，这规定了他的写作意图和目的，写作不是作家个人的事，而是人类整个社会事业的一部分，因此在他的回忆录中，政论性和哲理性插话几乎随处可见，这也构成了本书的一个基本特点。他把书名定为“往事与随想”，便是这个道理。
