The Silk Road is as iconic in world history as the Colossus of Rhodes or the Suez Canal. But what was it, exactly? It conjures a hazy image of a caravan of camels laden with silk on a dusty desert track, reaching from China to Rome. The reality was different, and far more interesting, as revealed in this new history. In The Silk Road, Valerie Hansen describes the remarkable archaeological finds that revolutionize our understanding of these trade routes. For millennia, key records remained hidden--often deliberately buried by bureaucrats for safe keeping. But the sands of the Taklamakan Desert have revealed fascinating material, sometimes preserved by illiterate locals who recycled official documents to make insoles for shoes or garments for the dead. Hansen explores seven oases along the road, from northwest China to Samarkand, where merchants, envoys, pilgrims, and travelers mixed in cosmopolitan communities, tolerant of religions from Buddhism to Zoroastrianism. Hansen notes that there was no single, continuous road, but a chain of markets that traded between east and west. China and the Roman Empire had very little direct trade. China's main partners were the peoples of modern-day Iran, whose tombs in China reveal much about their Zoroastrian beliefs. Hansen writes that silk was not the most important good on the road; paper, invented in China before Julius Caesar was born, had a bigger impact in Europe, while metals, spices, and glass were just as important as silk. Perhaps most significant of all was the road's transmission of ideas, technologies, and artistic motifs. The Silk Road is a fascinating story of archeological discovery, cultural transmission, and the intricate chains across Central Asia and Southeast Asia.

想起之前和山说起这本书,再夸一下。历史太真实了仿佛是小说,一个一边研究地理一边设计中原往欧洲运煤的铁路选址的德国人在20世纪创造的名词,已经变成切格瓦拉头像一般的存在……

之前是找Peter Frankopan的《丝绸之路》时找到的这本书,但因为要读的书多,一直也没有下载下来。这次读来,颇有兴致,让人不能释手。这本书写得很通俗,但通过七个丝绸之路上主要城市的考古发现,把丝绸之路的历史、民族、语言变迁介绍得非常清楚,让人很长知识,也让我把以前...
评分题外 在汉语传统中,「书评」这种文体并不悠久。很少有人意识到,书评一词名称中倒装前置的句法,导致了该文体普泛弥漫着喧宾夺主的气氛:作为评论对象的「书」,突出在动词前面,成为写作与阅读的标的。直把宾语置顶端,貌似表达一种尊重的修辞;实则上,主谓宾关系中的逆序...
评分译后记 说起来,本书的翻译起源于一封豆邮。原著刚一出版,韩森教授就寄了一本给我。我第一时间读完之后在豆瓣上晒了一下,紧接着就收到编辑张鹏的豆邮要我翻译此书。我当时没想太多就应了下来,没成想这翻译工作比我想象的要艰难很多。 除了要克服自己的拖延症(这个最难!...
