一种英国人对过去的幽恋 本书我读了很久,说实话没读进去多少。大量的时间和金钱的数字,让我头晕。当然,这样是学术的必要的严谨。 就像钱乘旦教授在钱序中所言“写到这里,就看出这部书的一些缺点了,其中之一,就是它为了不做学究式的说教而力图讲故事,结果有许多必须用论...

评分这里的评论区存在着大量立场可疑的刷分评论。但我想在此认真的阐明一点,这不是一本写“英国历史”的书,这里没有查理亨利爱德华,没有大宪章宗教改革光荣革命...那这是什么内容的书? 这是一本讲述英国海外殖民地的兴衰历史,这本书的名字应该叫做“大英殖民帝国的崛起和衰落...
评分大英帝国在世界历史上留下了浓墨重彩的印记,其强盛时期殖民地遍布全球,被称为“日不落帝国”,更是当时的世界霸主。虽然在两次世界大战后逐渐衰落,拱手让出了霸主的地位,但难掩其对世界的长远影响:英语是使用范围最为广泛的全球性语言;英国的价值观也影响着很多人的思维...

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE covers the history of British expansion overseas from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Narrative and analysis are interwoven with revealing eyewitness quotation to provide keen insight into the minds of those involved in conquering, settling and ruling the greatest Empire the world has seen. Throughout, there are consistant themes; the search for profit and the moral misgivings it generated; domestic developments which made imperial expansion desirable; and the sense of national and personal destiny felt by the empire-builders. Spanning four centuries and six continents, James' magnificent survey examines the imperial experience and its legacy with tremendous verve. Informed, comprehensive and perceptive, it is the essential summary of the era. 'James' epic is not only a first-rate narrative, but also a penetrating portrait of the British...Having largely, if often inadvertently, selfishly or ham-fistedly, engineered the world we live in, we need the courage now to face up to our record as coolly and intelligently as Lawrence James has done' - John Spurling, TLS
