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)

"或許可以說,這兩位皇帝都錯瞭。一個皇帝以為嚮天下人說明對他不利的傳言,便可讓流言不攻自破,因為眼睛雪亮的後代會尊敬他。但是他的子民卻記得瞭謠言,而忘瞭皇帝的苦心。另一位皇帝卻以為把書毀掉,便能告慰父皇在天之靈。而他的子民卻以為他之所以想毀去此書,就是因...
評分今年上半年看瞭幾本史景遷的書。 個人認為最好看的是這本。 關於中國曆史的文字,我一直覺得缺乏一種質感。 所謂戲說根本不值一提,不過是從民間演義發展而來又丟失瞭草根的智慧。 實際上四大古典名著和評書一直主導著我關於曆史的想象——一種流於臉譜化的平麵的想...
評分 評分電視認罪絕不是本朝的新發明,起碼在雍正朝,古典形式的電視認罪已經問世瞭。 案情的開頭其實很簡單,平民張熙公開投書煽動素未謀麵的高官造反,在嚴刑審問下牽齣主謀曾靜,曾靜被火速抓捕歸案後即刻認罪,並自稱本不諳世事的山野村夫,隻是被呂留良等人的謠言所誤後纔有此逆舉...

不料整樁案子裏史景遷先生最喜歡的人物竟然是王澍,講課末瞭還不免說一句“Go, Wang Shu!”笑死...還當著金老師的麵說“I come to discover that Professor Chin is a chauvinist.”不免好奇有一半滿人血統的chauvinist所捍衛的究竟是滿清統治、中華文化還是大女子主義...

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。
評分宛如起居注般精細的敘述。胤禎果然是枚至情至性的射手座男紙啊哢哢哢,和他兒子處理曾靜案的不同手法,就是對“解釋就是掩飾,掩飾就是事實”的最好注解。
