圖書描述

The ancient Near East is known as the "cradle of civilization"--and for good reason. Mesopotamia, Syria, and Anatolia were home to an extraordinarily rich and successful culture. Indeed, it was a time and place of earth-shaking changes for humankind: the beginnings of writing and law, kingship and bureaucracy, diplomacy and state-sponsored warfare, mathematics and literature.

This Very Short Introduction offers a fascinating account of this momentous time in human history. The three thousand years covered here--from around 3500 BCE, with the founding of the first Mesopotamian cities, to the conquest of the Near East by the Persian king Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE-represent a period of incredible innovation, from the invention of the wheel and the plow, to early achievements in astronomy, law, and diplomacy. As historian Amanda Podany explores this era, she overturns the popular image of the ancient world as a primitive, violent place. We discover that women had many rights and freedoms: they could own property, run businesses, and represent themselves in court. Diplomats traveled between the capital cities of major powers ensuring peace and friendship between the kings. Scribes and scholars studied the stars and could predict eclipses and the movements of the planets.

Every chapter introduces the reader to a particular moment in ancient Near Eastern history, illuminating such aspects as trade, religion, diplomacy, law, warfare, kingship, and agriculture. Each discussion focuses on evidence provided in two or three cuneiform texts from that time. These documents, the cities in which they were found, the people and gods named in them, the events they recount or reflect, all provide vivid testimony of the era in which they were written.

defining the scope (the cuneiform lands that include Mesopotamia, Syria, Elam, and Anatolia from the first cities around 3600 BCE to the conquest of Cyrus in 539 BC), noting the transition in the role of writing and state-kingship(converged in Assurbanipal the scholar and his library at Nineveh) through presenting a selection of 33 cuneiform texts.

寫得太好瞭

評分

這本書其實讀瞭一半。讀不下去的原因大多也是對於美索不達米亞文明的陌生。麵對湧來的名詞和不熟悉的地理位置時常讓自己迷惑。而且讀這本書並沒有一個明確的目的,所以反而產生我所閱讀的和自己並不相關的錯覺。當時選擇讀這本書的原因是想給下學期的古代近東藝術的課做歷史背景的補充和準備。從這次的閱讀經驗來看,入手一個全新的文明體係還是從入手的目的開始,切莫把麯線救國放到優先位置。或許從大英博物館中近東藝術的收藏的catelogue的閱讀開始,從點到麵。
