In this luminous portrait of Paris, celebrated historian Alistair Horne gives us the history, culture, disasters, and triumphs of one of the world’s truly great cities. Horne makes plain that while Paris may be many things, it is never boring.
From the rise of Philippe Auguste through the reigns of Henry IV and Louis XIV (who abandoned Paris for Versailles); Napoleon’s rise and fall; Baron Haussmann’s rebuilding of Paris (at the cost of much of the medieval city); the Belle Epoque and the Great War that brought it to an end; the Nazi Occupation, the Liberation, and the postwar period dominated by de Gaulle--Horne brings the city’s highs and lows, savagery and sophistication, and heroes and villains splendidly to life. With a keen eye for the telling anecdote and pivotal moment, he portrays an array of vivid incidents to show us how Paris endures through each age, is altered but always emerges more brilliant and beautiful than ever. The Seven Ages of Paris is a great historian’s tribute to a city he loves and has spent a lifetime learning to know.

評分分得挺清楚的
評分2013.7.6 是一本很有野心的書,從某種程度上來說,野心已經達到,雖然我覺得選題比文本內容更成功。畢竟巴黎是個被寫爛瞭的話題(說什麼呢,我這纔看第一本),不可能有多大新意。但是把法國的曆史濃縮在巴黎這個遠視鏡看過去。倒也有趣。對法國曆史毫無基礎知識的人,看起來真的比較痛苦,因為還是很多人名打架,時間滾動得也快。最喜歡的是一些小細節,小野史。藝術和文化方麵的故事。比如誰誰誰說的一句話,也頗有幽默感。文筆是一流的。不過,難道曆史學傢有文筆不好的?
