作为美国汉学大家孔飞力的学生,卜正民在研究路径、史料处理、叙述方法上,都颇得老师的真传,不禁让人想起《叫魂》一书。从本书来看,他试图摆脱对历史回顾的姿态,而是从当时一位籍籍无名的官员——张涛的角度,尝试着重新回到彼时的历史情景之中,全面的呈现“明代的商业与...
评分读该书并没有想好自己需要什么,是通读细读整理逻辑,还是仅做简单过眼?然而,我对此类知识并不敏感,细读整理时间也不够,只能在第一遍通览下找出可进一步深入了解的要点和学习方法。除此之外,本书最大特点是—材料基本出自各个地方的地方县志、府志,正如他序里说的“我自...
评分加拿大学者写的一本关于中国明代商业与文化的书。 这本书的写法比较特别,作者把全书分为四个部分:冬、春、夏、秋。冬代表安静和静谧,是晚明时期一个作者(也是贯穿本书的重要人物)对明初回忆时的想法。本书从这位晚明作者的感受开始,结合浩如烟海的史料,尤其是大量的地...
评分明代有时候感觉很近,但有时候却感觉很远。“明清”几乎成为现今人尽皆知的时代名词,几乎所有人都能如数家珍般列举出一些这个时代的历史大事件,但是如果再细致一点追问的话,那么几乎所有人都会感到困惑。明代是世界近代史的开端,但是明初却离我们已近700年,这700年的跨度...

The Ming dynasty was the last great Chinese dynasty before the Manchu conquest in 1644. During that time, China, not Europe, was the center of the world: the European voyages of exploration were searching not just for new lands but also for new trade routes to the Far East. In this book, Timothy Brook eloquently narrates the changing landscape of life over the three centuries of the Ming (1368-1644), when China was transformed from a closely administered agrarian realm into a place of commercial profits and intense competition for status.
The Confusions of Pleasure marks a significant departure from the conventional ways in which Chinese history has been written. Rather than recounting the Ming dynasty in a series of political events and philosophical achievements, it narrates this longue durée in terms of the habits and strains of everyday life. Peppered with stories of real people and their negotiations of a rapidly changing world, this book provides a new way of seeing the Ming dynasty that not only contributes to the scholarly understanding of the period but also provides an entertaining and accessible introduction to Chinese history for anyone.
以前一直以为这本书叫Confucius of Pleasure =.= 这本明史很有意思 开的角度很小 看起来轻松多了..原来还被三联翻译成《纵乐的困惑:明代的商业与文化》过,读到后面觉得有点disorder,扣一星
