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)
【四年前的旧评,才发现没发过书评区,补一下~】 《大义觉迷录》与专制主义的心源 “或许可以说,这两位皇帝都错了。一个皇帝以为向天下人说明对他不利的传言,便可让流言不攻自破,因为眼睛雪亮的后代会尊敬他。但是他的子民却记得了谣言,而忘了皇帝的苦心。另一位皇帝却...
評分 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...
評分今年上半年看了几本史景迁的书。 个人认为最好看的是这本。 关于中国历史的文字,我一直觉得缺乏一种质感。 所谓戏说根本不值一提,不过是从民间演义发展而来又丢失了草根的智慧。 实际上四大古典名著和评书一直主导着我关于历史的想象——一种流于脸谱化的平面的想...
評分电视认罪绝不是本朝的新发明,起码在雍正朝,古典形式的电视认罪已经问世了。 案情的开头其实很简单,平民张熙公开投书煽动素未谋面的高官造反,在严刑审问下牵出主谋曾静,曾静被火速抓捕归案后即刻认罪,并自称本不谙世事的山野村夫,只是被吕留良等人的谣言所误后才有此逆举...
不料整樁案子裏史景遷先生最喜歡的人物竟然是王澍,講課末瞭還不免說一句“Go, Wang Shu!”笑死...還當著金老師的麵說“I come to discover that Professor Chin is a chauvinist.”不免好奇有一半滿人血統的chauvinist所捍衛的究竟是滿清統治、中華文化還是大女子主義...
评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。
