Jonathan D. Spence is Sterling Professor at Yale University. His awards include a Guggenheim and a MacArthur Fellowship.
Shortly before noon on October 28, 1728, General Yue Zhongqi, the most powerful military and civilian official in northwest China, was en route to his headquarters. Suddenly, out of the crowd, a stranger ran toward Yue and passed him an envelope-an envelope containing details of a treasonous plot to overthrow the Manchu government.
This thrilling story of a conspiracy against the Qing dynasty in 1728 is a captivating tale of intrigue and a fascinating exploration of what it means to rule and be ruled. Once again, Jonathan Spence has created a vivid portrait of the rich culture that surrounds a most dramatic moment in Chinese history.
"An infectiously readable narrative . . . on a par with bestselling works of historical reconstruction such as Dava Sobel's Longitude . . . Eighteenth-century China springs to life." (The Dallas Morning News)
"A slice of history told in the lively manner of a novel." (Ian Buruma, The New York Times Book Review)
"A work of history that pulses with emotion, with vital characters re-created vividly, with complex situations lucidly unraveled, with irony underscored. His straightforward prose style and use of the historic present give his work an engrossing immediacy. It is history of the best kind." (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

評分当年电视剧《雍正王朝》热播,创下央视一套的收视率纪录,一举颠覆民间对雍正的传统印象。 阴狠还是刚毅,暴戾还是严敏,恶君还是明主,被弑还是病亡,争议不断,连带致使那一时期的人物形象普遍模糊不清。就说前段时间播出的《宫》,把雍正的八弟变成正面人物,和《雍正王朝...
評分看上海远东出版社版《皇帝与秀才:皇权游戏中的文人悲剧》,无异于白日梦幻。之前读过的史景迁文字不出序言,这也是史景迁的文字第一次以汉字的面目在眼前呈现。我受到的最大刺激,用乔纳森的话说,就是编年史竟然可以做到起居注的精度。 全书讨论的是一个清初的传播事件,主角...
評分想剖白內心的努力最終化為謠言四起的結果,不得不說這也是一種悲哀。

评分宛如起居注般精細的敘述。胤禎果然是枚至情至性的射手座男紙啊哢哢哢,和他兒子處理曾靜案的不同手法,就是對“解釋就是掩飾,掩飾就是事實”的最好注解。
