The Rise and Fall of the British Empire pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE covers the history of British expansion overseas from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Narrative and analysis are interwoven with revealing eyewitness quotation to provide keen insight into the minds of those involved in conquering, settling and ruling the greatest Empire the world has seen. Throughout, there are consistant themes; the search for profit and the moral misgivings it generated; domestic developments which made imperial expansion desirable; and the sense of national and personal destiny felt by the empire-builders. Spanning four centuries and six continents, James' magnificent survey examines the imperial experience and its legacy with tremendous verve. Informed, comprehensive and perceptive, it is the essential summary of the era. 'James' epic is not only a first-rate narrative, but also a penetrating portrait of the British...Having largely, if often inadvertently, selfishly or ham-fistedly, engineered the world we live in, we need the courage now to face up to our record as coolly and intelligently as Lawrence James has done' - John Spurling, TLS

年初在得到app 上入手了电子版,3月开始读,至今读到第四部分。在过程中无数次的回看目录和章节标题,每次被吸引着继续读下去,吸引人的地方太多了,但读起来实在艰难。 看了很多高分评语,感觉这些人是不是读的版本不一样,说实话从中译本还是能感觉到原书内容的浩繁,具体事...
评分一种英国人对过去的幽恋 本书我读了很久,说实话没读进去多少。大量的时间和金钱的数字,让我头晕。当然,这样是学术的必要的严谨。 就像钱乘旦教授在钱序中所言“写到这里,就看出这部书的一些缺点了,其中之一,就是它为了不做学究式的说教而力图讲故事,结果有许多必须用论...
评分大英帝国在世界历史上留下了浓墨重彩的印记,其强盛时期殖民地遍布全球,被称为“日不落帝国”,更是当时的世界霸主。虽然在两次世界大战后逐渐衰落,拱手让出了霸主的地位,但难掩其对世界的长远影响:英语是使用范围最为广泛的全球性语言;英国的价值观也影响着很多人的思维...
评分目前看完了一章,作者为了时间顺序,牺牲了当时事件发生的连贯性,在事件描述上不是很有逻辑,事件写的比较散。第一章全部笔墨描写的是英国对海洋和美洲侵略的历史,如果先适当描述当时欧洲的整个格局,让读者清楚英国那个时期在欧洲的地位是怎样的,这有助于读者更深刻的理解...
