Highly regarded here and abroad for some thirty works of cultural history and criticism, master historian Jacques Barzun has now set down in one continuous narrative the sum of his discoveries and conclusions about the whole of Western culture since 1500. In this account, Barzun describes what Western Man wrought from the Renaisance and Reformation down to the present in the double light of its own time and our pressing concerns. He introduces characters and incidents with his unusual literary style and grace, bringing to the fore those that have "Puritans as Democrats," "The Monarch's Revolution," "The Artist Prophet and Jester" -- show the recurrent role of great themes throughout the eras. The triumphs and defeats of five hundred years form an inspiring saga that modifies the current impression of one long tale of oppression by white European males. Women and their deeds are prominent, and freedom (even in sexual matters) is not an invention of the last decades. And when Barzun rates the present not as a culmination but a decline, he is in no way a prophet of doom. Instead, he shows decadence as the creative novelty that will burst forth -- tomorrow or the next day. Only after a lifetime of separate studies covering a broad territory could a writer create with such ease the synthesis displayed in this magnificent volume.
具體描述
讀後感
如你想了解五百年來西方歷史，如書名所示，這書是講西方文化生活的。對了解一般歷史毫無幫助。 如你只想一般了解西方文化，還是讀幾本內容具體背景清晰的斷代史或文化發展史。此書一樣幫助不大。 作者知道好多好多好多好多好多東西，有絮叨傾向，講述作者很個人的意見看法，...
評分 評分根据我从小到大读历史书而得来的经验，我认为了解历史能让我认识到人类最独特的优点，也能展现我们致命的缺点。因此，对我来说读史书除了可以学习新的知识，也能让我们自我反省，并且帮助我们探索到自己的上线，能力，还有可能造成的人为灾害。由于我已经读过无数本中国的史书...
評分如果写不出一本气势恢宏、荡气回肠的大书，就去读一读前人的巨作吧。 按我粗浅的理解，非虚构类的书籍，最容易配得上大书的名字。吉本的《罗马帝国衰亡史》无疑是这类书的代表作。商务印书馆有两卷本的译本，最近有一家豪华的出版社，出了六册所谓全译本，每册80元，全套要48...
評分如何由一件平常事演变成一场革命 大概的路线： 消息传来（某人说了什么话，做了什么事）- ------消息迅即传开（因为它与当时的形势恰好相合，或者同人们意识深处的某种情绪吻合） ------气氛紧张（人们开始互相探问真情和这件事的含义 ------时间感发生变化，变快（本来遥远...
