Lost to the West 电子书 读后感

评分

最近几个月接连读了三本关于罗马历史的书,依序相接,从《罗马帝国的崛起》中共和政体晚期的极盛,到《罗马帝国的陨落》中西罗马的覆灭,再到本书中拜占庭的壮烈落幕,整个罗马史被粗浅的串联起来。相比于专业的历史研究,本书还是要逊色不少,作为历史通识读物,也比较简略。 ...

基本上和看过的作者的另一本书《诺曼风云》风格差不多,都属于超入门级别的,浏览完一遍基本上能有一个大概的了解,但是想要再深入一点的探讨或者思考就不行了,书里也没有这些内容,也许是因为这本书源于作者的播客吧。该讲到的都能讲到,不过基本上也就是蜻蜓点水的程度,如...

在亚马逊推荐上看到这本《拜占庭帝国》,就想入手一本。怎说大学里也上过西方通史课,但课堂主角总不会是这个东部的罗马帝国。公元476年,西罗马被蛮族灭亡,而后的课程,就是讲丕平献土,800年查理曼被教皇加冕皇冠。而存续了千年之久的拜占庭帝国,永远是西方主流历史叙事下...

Lost to the West 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

In AD 476 the Roman Empire fell–or rather, its western half did. Its eastern half, which would come to be known as the Byzantine Empire, would endure and often flourish for another eleven centuries. Though its capital would move to Constantinople, its citizens referred to themselves as Roman for the entire duration of the empire’s existence. Indeed, so did its neighbors, allies, and enemies: When the Turkish Sultan Mehmet II conquered Constantinople in 1453, he took the title Caesar of Rome, placing himself in a direct line that led back to Augustus.

For far too many otherwise historically savvy people today, the story of the Byzantine civilization is something of a void. Yet for more than a millennium, Byzantium reigned as the glittering seat of Christian civilization. When Europe fell into the Dark Ages, Byzantium held fast against Muslim expansion, keeping Christianity alive. When literacy all but vanished in the West, Byzantium made primary education available to both sexes. Students debated the merits of Plato and Aristotle and commonly committed the entirety of Homer’s Iliad to memory. Streams of wealth flowed into Constantinople, making possible unprecedented wonders of art and architecture, from fabulous jeweled mosaics and other iconography to the great church known as the Hagia Sophia that was a vision of heaven on earth. The dome of the Great Palace stood nearly two hundred feet high and stretched over four acres, and the city’s population was more than twenty times that of London’s.

From Constantine, who founded his eponymous city in the year 330, to Constantine XI, who valiantly fought the empire’s final battle more than a thousand years later, the emperors who ruled Byzantium enacted a saga of political intrigue and conquest as astonishing as anything in recorded history. Lost to the West is replete with stories of assassination, mass mutilation and execution, sexual scheming, ruthless grasping for power, and clashing armies that soaked battlefields with the blood of slain warriors numbering in the tens of thousands.

Still, it was Byzantium that preserved for us today the great gifts of the classical world. Of the 55,000 ancient Greek texts in existence today, some 40,000 were transmitted to us by Byzantine scribes. And it was the Byzantine Empire that shielded Western Europe from invasion until it was ready to take its own place at the center of the world stage. Filled with unforgettable stories of emperors, generals, and religious patriarchs, as well as fascinating glimpses into the life of the ordinary citizen, Lost to the West reveals how much we owe to this empire that was the equal of any in its achievements, appetites, and enduring legacy.
