"Remarkable….Ekirch has emptied night's pockets, and laid the contents out before us."—Arthur Krystal, The New Yorker
Bringing light to the shadows of history through a "rich weave of citation and archival evidence" (Publishers Weekly), scholar A. Roger Ekirch illuminates the aspects of life most often overlooked by other historians—those that unfold at night. In this "triumph of social history" (Mail on Sunday), Ekirch's "enthralling anthropology" (Harper's) exposes the nightlife that spawned a distinct culture and a refuge from daily life.
Fear of crime, of fire, and of the supernatural; the importance of moonlight; the increased incidence of sickness and death at night; evening gatherings to spin wool and stories; masqued balls; inns, taverns, and brothels; the strategies of thieves, assassins, and conspirators; the protective uses of incantations, meditations, and prayers; the nature of our predecessors' sleep and dreams—Ekirch reveals all these and more in his "monumental study" (The Nation) of sociocultural history, "maintaining throughout an infectious sense of wonder" (Booklist).60 illustrations; 8 pages of color.

評分 本書關注的是工業革命之前西方社會的黑夜曆史。天黑後,在麵對來自真實世界和超自然世界的種種危險時人們的生活方式。雖然有過對犯罪和巫術的深入研究,但夜晚很少引起關注,這主要是因為長久以來人們認定,除瞭犯罪和巫術活動之外,在夜間,不會有任何其他重要事情發生...
評分 評分趙傳的陽剛級歌麯中,《我很醜,可是我很溫柔》尤其齣挑,長得沒他那麼睏難的爺們聽瞭以後也會産生共鳴。仔細分辨,李格弟的歌詞要害在於晝與夜的對立:白天的我是“孤獨的假麵”,疲於應付日常生計的壓力,夜晚的我在音樂和啤酒的麻醉下,一躍成為“狂熱嘶吼的巨人”——其...
