Jürgen Osterhammel is a distinguished scholar of the history of modern China and professor of modern and contemporary history at the University of Konstanz. He is the 2010 recipient of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, Germany's most prestigious academic prize. His books in English include "Globalization: A Short History" (Princeton) and "Colonialism".
A monumental history of the nineteenth century, The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. Jürgen Osterhammel, an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century, moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era, presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the "long nineteenth century," taking readers from New York to New Delhi, from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the perils and promise of Europe's transatlantic labor markets to the hardships endured by nomadic, tribal peoples across the planet. Osterhammel describes a world increasingly networked by the telegraph, the steamship, and the railways. He explores the changing relationship between human beings and nature, looks at the importance of cities, explains the role slavery and its abolition played in the emergence of new nations, challenges the widely held belief that the nineteenth century witnessed the triumph of the nation-state, and much more.
This is the highly anticipated English edition of the spectacularly successful and critically acclaimed German book, which is also being translated into Chinese, Polish, Russian, and French. Indispensable for any historian, The Transformation of the World sheds important new light on this momentous epoch, showing how the nineteenth century paved the way for the global catastrophes of the twentieth century, yet how it also gave rise to pacifism, liberalism, the trade union, and a host of other crucial developments.

評分語言上: 翻譯的是絲般順滑,讀起來沒有任何不通順的地方。 宏觀上: 本書講述的是全球各地在整個19世紀的宏大圖景。 微觀上: 對整個19世紀的全球做百科全書式的描繪、外科手術式的解剖和展示,可以說是麵麵俱到,細緻入微。 總結: 以前沒看過這樣寫大段曆史的,這種寫法開始的語...
評分中國的曆史編纂學傳統乃是全世界最偉大的傳統之一。其曆史之悠久,唯有始於希臘的歐洲曆史編纂學方能與之媲美。這一傳統還包括,中國很早便著手就當時已知的世界進行曆史寫作。在1500年左右開始的地理大發現時代之前,這個“世界”在歐洲人眼中當然也還不是那個圓圓的地球。它...
評分無論好壞,我們當下所生活在其中的那個世界,很大程度上是在19世紀形塑成的。當然,你也可以說,任何時代都是更早時代的産物,不過,19世紀的確有些不一樣——至少,我們所談論的“現代世界”,至此纔漸漸浮齣水麵。 這裏所說的“19世紀”,是一個“長19世紀”,即從1789年法國...
