具体描述
Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diversified readership: taking in painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts, novels and poems, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. It traces the philosophy of aesthetics through history and examines some of the many treatises that have sought to define it. Beauty is Umberto Eco at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how the fashion of the 1960s owes much to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant new light on the unfamiliar. Illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards, Beauty is an indispensable book.

读后感
这本书本身是一本非常好的书，让我对西方美学历史有比较全面和真切的理解。 翻译者，我想，也是希望用“配得上”如此重要著作的词汇和句法来翻译出那种厚重和深刻。可是，似乎有点儿过犹不及了。阅读的过程中经常会被一些艰涩的词汇和古怪的句法阻挡，放缓阅读速度。
评分阐述美的观念从古希腊到现代。拿一个世纪拉开与距离来看,有一个区别于上世代的不连贯的特征,那就是这个时代的“美”。 如作者导论所言“美的观念，千汇万状，在这些变化之上，可能有某种施诸百世百世万族皆准的规则，本书并不期望不计代价地搜寻这些规则，我们不做此意...

评分此书不从任何先入为主的美学出发，而是综观数千年来西方社会视为美的事物，做多层次布局，以主叙述带出源源不绝的绘画、雕刻作品，并长篇征引各时代的作家与哲学家，书前附上多页依时代顺序安排的图片对照表，使自古以来的对于“美”的观点之演变史一目了然。作者以独到见...
评分美是一种艺术。自夏娃堕落之后，天使阿撒泻勒教导女性“用锑画眼圈的技巧”。此后，美的艺术标准随着时代、信仰、道德、技术而发展。埃及的沐浴及香料，使用色彩鲜明的脂粉，罗马迷人的香膏以红、白色独占鳌头，基督教开始制定严规，中古时期十字军东征，在东方惊奇地发现——...
