去年底(2018),中國的出版社新思文化推出了一套引人矚目的重點作品“企鵝歐洲史”,相信應該吸引了許多喜好歐洲歷史的書友注意。這套多卷本的大部頭自2004年開始出版以來,在歐美學界已經享譽盛名,每一卷的作者,都是該領域內的重量級學者,例如,我個人注意已久,第二卷《羅...
评分导读 “古典”是对英文classical一词的中译,这个词与文艺复兴以来西方形成的一门新学科的名称Classics(古典学)同出自拉丁文形容词classicus,原义主要指罗马高级别的公民,如“头等公民的”之类,引申义则意味出类拔萃、完美无缺、权威和典型。近现代西方人又把古希腊罗马时...
评分看完希腊人,罗马人的故事,觉得作者写的太过感性,很多论点偏个人倾向(可能由于作者是作家,不是历史学家),很想从其他角度其他方面看看这个时期欧洲的历史。 企鹅欧洲史1整体的讲述非常严谨客观,不盲从于传说或者现有的历史文献,而是从各种考古证据来给出准确的历史记忆...
评分目前本卷的豆瓣评分很低,我想主要原因在于这一卷的开篇是以米诺斯与迈锡尼的遗迹发现来讲述欧洲文明的起源,故事性略微缺乏,很难入胜。但任何一个文明的开端都半遮半掩于神话与传说之中,本卷成功展示了如何从考古把信史与传说区分开来,并进一步通过文物获知当时的文化,艺...

To an extraordinary extent we continue to live in the shadow of the classical world. At every level from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a 'classical Europe', using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures. As this consistently fresh and surprising new book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past filled with great leaders and writers, emigrations and battles. Indeed, much of the reason we know so much about the classical past is the obsessive importance it held for so many generations of Greeks and Romans, who interpreted and reinterpreted their changing casts of heroes and villains. Figures such as Alexander the Great and Augustus Caesar loom large in our imaginations today, but they were themselves fascinated by what had preceded them. "The Birth of Classical Europe" is therefore both an authoritative history, and also a fascinating attempt to show how our own changing values and interests have shaped our feelings about an era which is by some measures very remote but by others startlingly close.
