Christopher Hibbert, MC, (born 1924) is an English writer and popular historian and biographer.
Born in Leicestershire in 1924, Hibbert was educated at Radley College, before going up to Oriel College at the University of Oxford. He served as an infantry officer in the London Irish Rifles during World War Two, was wounded twice and awarded the Military Cross in 1945.
Christopher Hibbert is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He is married with two sons and a daughter and lives in Henley-on-Thames.
The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici is the achievement of a polished historian who is blessed with an unusual gift for pleasing narrative. Divided into four parts, none of which seems overcrowded in spite of their variety of characters and events, the book is beautifully balanced and proportioned.
This edition is made more enjoyable a read, simply by its artistic binding and physical appearance. It is specially published by the Folio Society London, which was founded in 1947, with the single intention of producing 'editions of the world's great literature in a format worthy of the contents, at a price within the reach of everyman.'
The book is typeset at The Folio Society in Centaur with Arabesque ornaments, and printed on Ibis Wove paper at St. Edmundsbury Press, Bury St Edmunds. It is bound by Hunter & Foulis, Edinburgh, in full Jacquard cloth woven by Van Heek-Scholco, Holland.

翻譯真是太差瞭。主要三點如下: 1、美第奇主人公即便是同一人,前後譯名也不一緻; 2、主人公譯名值得推敲:Còsimo de' Mèdici,這個奠定瞭美第奇傢族輝煌地基的重要主人公,公認的譯名為“柯西莫”,書中多用“卡西莫”,而且根據意語發音,重音在ò、去聲,無論如何都不可...
評分美第奇傢族統治佛羅倫薩300年,從最初的四代銀行業,兩任教皇,佛羅倫薩大公,逐漸衰敗。其銀行業的衰敗與意大利各共和國的衰敗同步,與法國西班牙的崛起同步,其最後幾代人名字有明顯的西班牙特點。美第奇傢族對文藝復興的佛羅倫薩支持很大,本書更多的紀錄瞭佛羅倫薩的藝術傢...
評分疫情期間開始看的書,斷斷續續讀瞭好幾個月。原本衝著大名鼎鼎的甲骨文招牌興衝衝翻開,可是讀完之後隻剩下索然無味的蒼白。全書好似流水賬一般平鋪直述,沒有什麼啓發。讓我想到瞭謝耳朵關於隻要把曆史上發生過的事情背熟就可以去當曆史老師瞭的吐槽。要麼是作者寫作水平確實...
評分1,看瞭這本書,感覺就像當年看百年孤獨一樣,一個傢族幾百年的運勢,就像冥冥之中一樣,不管多麼繁花似錦,都會不由自主陷入凋零。2.美第奇傢族的興起,在於他的龍興之地,佛羅倫薩,緊密相連,本書也間接敘述瞭佛羅倫薩的幾百年的變遷,從一個人口隻有五萬的小城,到歐洲首屈...

後半段基本是圍觀幾個荒唐的胖子,因為姓Medici,而成瞭留名曆史的荒唐的胖子。這時候再迴想前半段,覺得1400年人類的運氣好得不可思議,以及不禁質疑我們瞭解的美術史:Medici傢的基因,明顯是胖子啊,畫像裏的都是誰。。。
