Jonathan D. Spence is Sterling Professor at Yale University. His awards include a Guggenheim and a MacArthur Fellowship.
Shortly before noon on October 28, 1728, General Yue Zhongqi, the most powerful military and civilian official in northwest China, was en route to his headquarters. Suddenly, out of the crowd, a stranger ran toward Yue and passed him an envelope-an envelope containing details of a treasonous plot to overthrow the Manchu government.
This thrilling story of a conspiracy against the Qing dynasty in 1728 is a captivating tale of intrigue and a fascinating exploration of what it means to rule and be ruled. Once again, Jonathan Spence has created a vivid portrait of the rich culture that surrounds a most dramatic moment in Chinese history.
"An infectiously readable narrative . . . on a par with bestselling works of historical reconstruction such as Dava Sobel's Longitude . . . Eighteenth-century China springs to life." (The Dallas Morning News)
"A slice of history told in the lively manner of a novel." (Ian Buruma, The New York Times Book Review)
"A work of history that pulses with emotion, with vital characters re-created vividly, with complex situations lucidly unraveled, with irony underscored. His straightforward prose style and use of the historic present give his work an engrossing immediacy. It is history of the best kind." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

評分喜歡曆史的朋友,不可不讀史景遷。史景遷是耶魯大學曆史係教授,西方著名的中國史專傢。幾十年下來,在他的筆下,已汩汩流齣瞭近十部文學味道很濃的有關中國清代及近現代曆史的著作,深受美國讀者歡迎。我有幸得到朋友贈送的兩本書《皇帝與秀纔》和《王氏之死》。 這...
評分這一陣子喜歡看曆史的東西瞭,轉來轉去覺得自己還是對這塊兒最感興趣。曆史是很玄妙的事情,不經意間你就發現現實曾與曆史這樣驚人的相似,大傢都不迴頭,就這麼一個個低頭默默劃著圈子,把世界雕刻成一個陀螺,自娛自樂地轉到末日將至。 有時候,看到在那些遙遠得讓人不敢相...

評分想剖白內心的努力最終化為謠言四起的結果,不得不說這也是一種悲哀。
