图书描述

Winner of the 2012 Cundill Prize in History

A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China.

The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure.

This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.

He is beginning research for a future book on the old China trade and the coming of the Opium War.

在从国际角度看太平天国方面很有新意,但对于中国内部的问题只是叙述上的创新,没有太多洞见。

读后感

与太平天国相关的书,堪称汗牛充栋,多一本少一本,似乎已不再重要,在这个熟题材上想写出新意来,几乎不可能。 但,裴士锋告诉我们,其实还有完全不同的新视角,那就是从国际政治来看太平天国:太平天国与美国南北战争有什么关系?洪仁玕为什么要写不大可能执行的《资政新篇...

生存的意义:一场权力的游戏 ——读《天国之秋》有感 天国,谁的天国? 世界的天国,洋人眼中的天国。在十八世纪四十年代,中国的人口数量已经占据了世界的1/3,中国的GDP也占据了世界1/3,中国的丝绸和茶叶更是成为欧洲很多居民的心头爱,中国的神秘更是吸引着需求欧洲探险家...

作者的主要逻辑是: 英国为了维持对华贸易的优势,在战争前期精心维护着清政府和南方叛军之间的均势平衡,谁都有机会。但美洲大陆的另一场类似性质的内战打破了英帝国的全球贸易体系,急需选择一个看起来能继续合作的对手打破亚洲大陆上的僵局。 此时洪仁轩温和但没有实力支撑...

一百五十页的尾注的确是一个槽点,但也说明了作者的严谨。另外尾注也确实降低了对读者的干扰。整部书在较完整的时间顺序下摆出很多国人所不知的细节,例如英军烧毁圆明园也不是毫无缘故,而英国议会也是有相当一部分人是反对干预 的,另外英国政府对于清廷的支持也改写了传统教...
