在陆地面积相当于京津,加上海域也只有安徽大小的区域内,时间相当于战国初期,在南欧发生了一场诸侯的纷争。书籍偏重事件的记述,看不出主要人物的个性,可以阅读普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》做补充阅读。 人性由于战争而消亡,雅典、斯巴达、波斯、科林斯,马其顿......纵横捭...
评分小胖去希腊的时候,拍了一张照片。她坐在一个台阶上,戴着一个巨大的墨镜对着镜头笑,背后是一群晒成棕色的欧美老外,穿着背心吊带挤在一起看一个土墙。在我的印象中,希腊就是这样一个充满古迹与神迹的地方。事实上,和其它消失的古文明一样,希腊这些灿烂文化,最终被一场本...
评分 评分掩卷一声叹息 战争是最凶残的老师,足以摧毁一切文明。 一、当民主沦为伪民主 唐纳德•卡根不愧为现代研究伯罗奔尼撒战争最透彻的专家学者。观点很正! 这个正不是指雅典与斯巴达之间的不偏不倚(还是可以明显感觉老爷子支持雅典,支持民主,不喜寡头的)而是对某些根深蒂固...

The Stalingrad of the ancient world, this is an immensely readable, brilliant, brutal and vivid history of the greatest and bloodiest war of ancient Greece. The Peloponnesian War, fought 2,500 years ago between oligarchic Sparta and democratic Athens for control of Greece, is brought spectacularly to life in this magnificent study. Kagan demonstrates the relevance of this cataclysmic event to modern times in all its horror and savagery. As two uncompromising empires fight a war of survival from diametrically opposing political, social and cultural positions, the seemingly invincible glory of Athens crumbles in tragedy. Athenian culture and politics was unmatched in originality and fertility, and is still regarded as one of the peak achievements of Western civilisation. Dramatic poets such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes raised tragedy and comedy to a level never surpassed; architects and sculptors were at work on the Acropolis; natural philosophers like Anaxagoras and Democritus were exploring the physical world, and philosophers like Socrates were dissecting the realm of human affairs. All this was lost to this bloody conflict. In this work of brilliant scholarship, Kagan illustrates his remarkable ability to interpret these events as a part of the universality of human experience. His clear expertise in both the ancient world and the wars of the 20th-century are combined with his storytelling gifts to give an unforgettable portrait of this pivotal war that has shaped the world as we know it.
