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
我肯定Umberto Eco在艺术界、艺术史界是无名的。 举个例：在写到巴洛克时期时：作者文中一句：哥白尼与开普勒重新设计的苍穹下，天体之间的关系愈来愈复杂。他是不是想把此复杂和他认为巴洛克线条的繁复关联？把洛可可风格画家之一的 Watteau的《Pilgrimage to Cythera》与巴...
评分Eco知识渊博，生性好引，书中颇多原文。唯中文版译自英文版，而英文版又译自意大利文版。岂料原文各国文字混杂，不拘泥意文一种，原文至中文，其中转折，可谓重峦叠嶂，译笔若失之毫厘，则差之千里也。 38页上将普里阿摩斯译成普里安尚情有可原，毕竟其名不显，但281页引用亚...
评分平心而论，其实书本身的内容还是不错的，但是翻译很有问题，一是没有把书本身的几条主线用统一的语言反复强化，让读者更容易抓住书的主要内容；二是作为一本半科普的书，语言完全没考虑到读者群体，很晦涩；三是有部分人名画作等翻译没有遵循常规翻法。 我自己觉得这本书有几条...
评分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——...
