Alain Peyrefitte (Najac, Aveyron, 26 August 1925 – Paris, 27 November 1999) was a French scholar and politician. He was a confidant of Charles De Gaulle and had a long career in public service, serving as a diplomat in Germany and Poland. He was Minister of Information from 1962 to 1966, establishing the rules of presidential debates between the two electoral rounds. He served as Minister of Justice from 1977 to 1981, and was involved in the affair surrounding the mysterious death of Robert Boulin in 1979. He became a member of the Académie française in 1977.
This is the story of a failed attempt by the British, in 1793, to open the Chinese Empire to Western trade. Led by Lord Macartney, whose distinguished diplomatic posts included India and the Caribbean, the enormous British expedition of nearly 700 men included doctors, scholars, painters, musicians, soldiers and young aristocrats, and lasted more than two years, and its success would have redefined the history of the 19th and 20th centuries. The author has made use of a variety of sources, including, on the British side, the diary of the 12-year-old Thomas Stanton, son of Macartney's deputy, who was the only person in the whole English fleet who spoke Chinese, and, on the Chinese side, the newly discovered secret reports of the Emperor's officials, all annotated by the Emperor himself.

評分終於讀完這本著作,本來想寫一寫自己對於佩雷菲特點題的“停滯”二字的體會,可是在寫之前看瞭先前的許多評論以後,卻又被大部分對這本書的評論所激起,想談談對評論的評論。 挑瞭一個對這本書“失望”的,http://www.douban.com/review/1224002/, 也許有一些代錶意義。 讀完...
評分 評分在想該給這篇書評起一個怎樣的題目,突然就想起瞭Hayek的那本書。 這是本老書,二十年前便引進瞭。觀當年的學者言語,說道曾讀過此書,自己便一直存瞭個念頭就是找來看看。今年三聯再版《停滯的帝國》,於是不費力地買來存讀,這幾天集中精力終於讀完。 ...
