。雅典的例子常被人用来衡量民主与专制的优劣,否定雅典式民主的人说,雅典就是因为这样而一再丧失优秀领导人,只剩僭主专政,日渐削弱,反不如斯巴达的君主制加奴隶制有效。以前每想到这一节,就总是陷入悖论式思绪中。现在我不想评论这个议题,但是现在的我觉得,因为黑暗是...

单以印象论,圣彼得堡应当是一座受旅行者青睐的城市。此地曾是知识中心,出过许多知名文人,更有伟大的音乐和艺术,它难道不是一座看上去很美的城市吗?又或许它的美仅仅是“看上去”。在美国学者乔纳斯•迈尔斯笔下,圣彼得堡是一座始终处于“建造中”的城市。《圣彼得堡:...

St Petersburg 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

St Petersburg has always felt like an impossible metropolis, risen from the freezing mists and flooded marshland of the River Neva on t he western edge of Russia. It was a new capital in an old country. Established in 1703 by the sheer will of its charismatic founder, the homicidal megalomaniac Peter-the-Great, its dazzling yet unhinged reputation was quickly fashioned by the sadistic dominion of its early rulers.

This city, in its successive incarnations – St Petersburg; Petrograd; Leningrad and, once again, St Petersburg – has always been a place of perpetual contradiction. It was a window on to Europe and the Enlightenment, but so much of the glory of Russia was created here: its literature, music, dance and, for a time, its political vision. It gave birth to the artistic genius of Pushkin and Dostoyevsky, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, Pavlova and Nureyev. Yet, for all its glittering palaces, fairytale balls and enchanting gardens, the blood of thousands has been spilt on its snow-filled streets. It has been a hotbed of war and revolution, a place of siege and starvation, and the crucible for Lenin and Stalin’s power-hungry brutality.

In St Petersburg, Jonathan Miles recreates the drama of three hundred years in this absurd and brilliant city, bringing us up to the present day, when – once more – its fate hangs in the balance. This is an epic tale of murder, massacre and madness played out against squalor and splendour. It is an unforgettable portrait of a city and its people.

-----------------

"'This extraordinary book brings to life an astonishing place. Beautiful prose renders brutality vivid.' " (Gerard DeGroot The Times - BOOK OF THE WEEK)

"So fluent, so textured is Jonathan Miles’s ease with prose and argument that his vivid dissection of 300 years of St Petersburg’s history should be devoured in captive sittings... Investigating the artistic life of St Petersburg, he also explores the melodrama and blood on the streets and the effects of continuing political disarray and corruption on ordinary people. This is a storyteller entranced with his subject, who makes its brilliant portrayal look deliriously easy." (Susan Sheahan Guardian)

"[A] lively and entertaining biography... full of sparkling storytelling and well drawn characters... a delight." (Victor Sebestyen The Sunday Times)

"Jonathan Miles’s cinematic telling of the 300-year history of ... St Petersburg shows how the drama, the absurdity, the splendour and the squalor of the imperial capital all found their way into Russia’s finest s, operas and paintings... Miles peels back the layers of myth in which the city is swaddled, while never losing sight of its haunting grace." (Daniel Beer Observer)

"Recently there has been a plethora of new books on Russian history in all its guises, … so why more? Jonathan Miles’ narrative is a lot of more, … His history has a substantial foundation, but what makes it special is the sheer inescapable momentum of Miles’s prose, powered by the captivating intensity of his attachment to his subject. This is a story told by a writer enthralled – and disillusioned, as he sees no redemption in sight... A dazzling history of a dazzling city." (Marina Vaizey The Arts Desk)

"Many turbulent episodes richly brought to life in this panoramic study" (Event, Mail on Sunday)
