评分优缺点非常明显的书。 先说优点,西方学者写的历史,和中国的视角很大程度是不一样。这本书吸收近几年了鸦片战争研究的学术成果,同时,这本书也不是只讲鸦片战争,期间还穿插了其他学术内容,比如这些年大火的新清史。最后还谈到了鸦片战争对中国民族主义以及西方黄祸论的塑造...
评分又一次失败了,作为一个对历史不大感冒但又想了解一些的我,底子薄的只能选择了这本看起来通俗易懂的书,花了一个星期差不多啃完了,说说几点感受: 一,关于翻译和排版。不知道是我语言能力差还是怎么的,好几个翻译的地方研读了几遍还是没有搞明白什么意思,确认是正版的书,...

‘On the outside, [the foreigners] seem intractable, but inside they are cowardly. . . Although there have been a few ups-and-downs, the situation as a whole is under control.’
In October 1839, a few months after the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, Lin Zexu, dispatched these confident words to his emperor, a cabinet meeting in Windsor voted to fight Britain’s first Opium War (1839-42) with China. The conflict turned out to be rich in tragicomedy: in bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration. Yet over the past 170 years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding myth of modern Chinese nationalism: the start of China’s heroic struggle against a Western conspiracy to destroy the country with opium and gunboat diplomacy.
Beginning with the dramas of the war itself, Julia Lovell explores its causes and consequences and, through this larger narrative, interweaves the curious stories of opium’s promoters and attackers. The Opium War is both the story of modern China – starting from this first conflict with the West – and an analysis of the country’s contemporary self-image. It explores how China’s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present; and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.

真是不知道为啥豆瓣上评分这么高。。。
评分Another good discussion yesterday. Mostly on nationalism (and the education thereof) and cultural history. News come into attention the next day morning, of drug smuggling in Mexico, S. Korea's urge of Japanese compensation for comfort women, and the lowered US flag in Iraq. Main takeaway: the inventiveness of the late 200 yr Chinese history.
评分发现kindle里还存着这本,对历史不同的诠释。想想虽然现身处“和平年代”,19世纪鸦片战争、20世纪的二战及文革,都对现在的中国意识文化形态产生了极大的影响,只是我们乐得不自知。
评分不知道怎么打分好….
评分非常全面详细,信息量很大。尤其是对第一次鸦片战争的描写,中英双方的资料,官方的文件和普通民众的回忆都有。当时各种利益集团掺和在其中,到了现在教科书上直接简化成了清政府和英国,就完全不是那么回事儿了
