Written between 1143 and 1153 by the daughter of Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, The Alexiad is one of the most popular and revealing primary sources in the vast canon of medieval literature. Princess Anna Komnene, eldest child of the imperial couple, reveals the inner workings of the court, profiles its many extraordinary personages, and offers a firsthand account of immensely significant events such as the First Crusade, as well as its impact on the relationship between eastern and western Christianity. A celebrated triumph of Byzantine letters, this is an unparalleled view of the glorious Constantinople and the medieval world.
读起来太吃力了,有空打印出来读纸面吧,半年看了不到20页
评分一本对想了十字东征历史的人必读的书,也是精罗必读之书之一。在书中,安娜处处称呼这个被现在的人们习惯称为拜占庭帝国的国家为罗马,这个国家的人是罗马人。一个延续了近两千年的国度。 和其它历史资料不同的是安娜作为一名女性,其笔调带有女性独有的感性。你可以感受到她的爱,她的恨。她的情感细腻而真实地融入了书的每一章、每一行。当读到她写到她父亲在death bed时的段落,皇后的绝望和不放弃,公主们带着希望的绝望,头通过安娜的笔展现在我的眼前,无法不让人对其父的去世感到惋惜,且因为她们真挚的悲痛而落泪。最后一册断断续续的脱漏尤其让人觉得安娜因为悲痛而笔不成调。更能回想想起前文阿列克谢戎马倥偬,少有安歇的一生。后人为之唏嘘不已。
评分excellent book!!
评分作为一个正在衰落的帝国皇帝,Alexiad已经算是尽了全力了,但是也难以挽回拜占庭没落的命运。作为首个女性历史家,安娜的描写不让须眉。
