With the incomparable vision and breathtaking detail that brought his now-classic Mars trilogy to vivid life, bestselling author KIM STANLEY ROBINSON boldly imagines an alternate history of the last seven hundred years.

The Years of Rice and Salt

It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur–the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe’s population was destroyed. But what if? What if the plague killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been–a history that stretches across centuries, a history that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation. These are the years of rice and salt.

This is a universe where the first ship to reach the New World travels across the Pacific Ocean from China and colonization spreads from west to east. This is a universe where the Industrial Revolution is triggered by the world’s greatest scientific minds–in India. This is a universe where Buddhism and Islam are the most influential and practiced religions and Christianity is merely a historical footnote.

Through the eyes of soldiers and kings, explorers and philosophers, slaves and scholars, Robinson renders an immensely rich tapestry. Rewriting history and probing the most profound questions as only he can, Robinson shines his extraordinary light on the place of religion, culture, power, and even love on such an Earth. From the steppes of Asia to the shores of the Western Hemisphere, from the age of Akbar to the present and beyond, here is the stunning story of the creation of a new world.

两个名字以K和B为首的轮回灵魂的由来原来是出自古埃及的神话，书中的注释是这样的： “卡”和“巴”指古埃及人相信的人的魂魄的两种形式。“卡”代表了人的生命力，“巴”则为永不腐朽的灵魂。而事实上作者也确实是这么去塑造K和B这两种角色的性格的，K总是过于激进一些，而B...  

米与盐的年代终于被我磨完了,记得这书刚上市的时候不知怎么搞的一下很火的样子,我也被简介彻底,完全的震撼了,当然,我也曾一度以为这书会以编年体来写… 现在来看,书内容的高潮部分像作文一样出现在了后半段,真正的虚构基本也来自于此,而此前的故事,更多只是把西方人干的活生搬...  

金.斯坦利.罗宾逊一向是一个善于铺陈复杂时空线索的作家，从成名作《冰柱之谜》、“橙县三部曲”到大获赞誉的“火星三部曲”，他展示出对历史叙述的强大把握能力，和对人类走向的现实关注。而2002年这部《米与盐的年代》，罗宾逊终于写了一部体现其对“或然历史”这一科幻类型...

《米与盐的年代》至少可以从三个层面进行阅读：历史学、文学和现代性研究。 从历史研究的角度来说，《米与盐的年代》可以被视为反事实历史（Counterfactual History）书写的一个优美范例。尼尔•弗格森（Niall Ferguson）在《未曾发生的历史》一书序言中说到，“我们(作者们)...
