The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-?ve years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.
Jack McIver Weatherford is the former DeWitt Wallace Professor of anthropology at Macalester College in Minnesota. He is best known for his 2004 book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. In 2006, he was awarded the Order of the Polar Star, Mongolia’s highest national honor for foreigners.
His books in the late 20th century on the influence of Native American cultures have been translated into numerous languages. In addition to publishing chapters and reviews in academic books and journals, Weatherford has published numerous articles in national newspapers to popularize his historic and anthropological coverage of Native American cultures, as well as the American political culture in Congress in the 20th century. He has become a frequent commentator on TV and radio.
在没有成吉思汗之前,蒙古只是一个活跃于贝加尔湖东南,肯特山脉之间的几个小部族。他们以血族关系维持着原始的部族关系,以血脉关系建立权力基础,以血脉关系分配资源包括繁衍后代的权力,血族关系凌驾于任何社会关系之上。 他们南邻干燥戈壁,北接广袤的中西伯利亚高原,与世...
评分 评分受主席诗词,更准确的说,受以往教育灌输的结果,在以前对成吉思汗的全部印象,就是“一代天骄,只识弯弓射大雕”。《成》告诉我们,这句词的前半部分是正确的,后半句则需要修正。 成吉思汗和他的子孙们,征服了包括三十个国家和超过三十亿人口,而完成这个成就所赖以的蒙古部...
评分如果说杉山正明是蒙古—世界情结在日本学界的化身,Weatherford则可谓这一情结在英文世界的领路人?基本上将成吉思汗和蒙古势力视为了连通欧亚、形成欧亚大陆文明政治板块(如果有这种东西的话)和亚洲接入世界史的最重要一步
评分“God gives different ways to man as different fingers to hand." 历史不是死在玻璃容器的植物标本,它不能被扁平的纸张完美而真实地画出来。相反,它在不同的社会和个体中被赋有的生命和可能截然不同的意义。一个历史事件,不会在发生的日期上瞬间停止,它仍然在影响着我们的世界直到未来未完成。
评分书里有不少以前没有留意或者没怎么被主流文化宣传过的内容,后记里介绍的各路学者为研究这段历史作出的贡献和牺牲很让人佩服。
评分与和平年代不合时宜的彪悍民族。
评分超不嚴肅軼事錦集。第一部分講的就是射雕英雄傳裡的劇情......
