In 1572 a new star blazed through the sky. It was a cataclysmic event for scholars, whobelieved at the time that the universe was unchanging. From his home in Mortlake, now inthe London borough of Richmond upon Thames, John Dee gazed up through the stilluntainted night as his certainties slipped away.
1572年天空中出现了一颗闪烁的新星。这对于当时那些认为宇宙是永恒不变的学者来说是一场灾难性的事情。约翰迪伊过去住在摩特雷克,现在住在泰晤士河畔里士满区。无论他住在哪里,都会举首凝望那仍然纯净无暇的夜空,而他所确信的观点也渐渐有所动摇。
Cartographer, cryptographer, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and imperialist, Dee was a trusted adviser to QueenElizabeth I, even setting the date for her coronation. The appearance of the star was apivotal moment in his life. It is also the turning point in Dr Dee, a new opera composed byDamon Albarn, frontman of the British pop bands Blur and Gorillaz. Dees desire to knowwhat was knowable in the world, spurred by that star, leads him to occultism and,ultimately, to his downfall. Science was not so far from magic.
约翰迪伊是一位地图绘制者、密码破解者、数学家、天文学家、占星学家、帝国主义者,他还是深受女王伊丽莎白一世信赖的顾问,连她加冕的日期都是他挑选的。这颗星星的出现是他人生中关键的时刻,也是迪伊博士中的转折点。迪伊博士是一部由英国摇滚乐队布勒和街头霸王的主唱戴蒙亚邦推出的新音乐剧。迪伊的愿望是通晓世界上一切可知的事物,正是那颗星星促使并引领他走向神秘学的道路不过最终也导致他的垮台。科学和魔法仅仅一步之遥。
