This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
中英文兩本一起讀的,從春節放假開始,到後來上班很忙一星期只能讀幾頁,於是前後花了差不多兩個月才讀完。信息量巨大,在作者淺顯的敘述和簡單的例子中終於重新認識和理解了中學歷史課上怎麼都聽不懂的人類的過去,也結合了自己親身經歷的這三十年來的種種,陷入無限的哲學思考和心理學反思中。
评分A holistic view of evolution of human beings: looking at the past, we get to know where we came from; seeing the world around us now, we feel like we can make real changes; glimpse into the future, we ask ourselves where we are heading to. The answer is unknown, that is the most scary part.
评分此书采用“大历史”的写法,避开具体的历史事件和历史人物,直接剖析人类各发展阶段的本质,“惊人”结论应接不暇,不少读者高呼过瘾。但近年来不断走俏的大历史类图书往往容易犯以偏概全的错误,只顾着抛结论、上概念,举例论证仅仅走个形式。比如本书论证农业时代的人类不如采集者生活幸福,比如把个人主义描述为国家和市场摧毁家庭和社群的“第五纵队”等。此书另一大特色是紧紧抓住“虚构”这个概念不放,全书所有观点都从中生发,显得高度统一、立场鲜明。虽然人类认知革命始于虚构能力的观点并非作者原创,但此书贵在一以贯之。从认知革命到想象的秩序,再到各种宗教,最后是想象的共同体,作者始终用“虚构”这个元素解释人类各个阶段的发展变化,形成完整的逻辑链条,成为本书利用大量惊人结论发动攻势之外征服读者的另一个原因。
评分it has been ten years, for the reappearance of my indulgence

以色列40岁的年轻学者的专著,博学而见解独到。我还从没有读过这样的研究人类历史的书,抛开了过去的所有讲述历史的概念与框架,从7亿年前起,“智人” 通过“认知革命”、“农业革命”、“工业革命”、“科学革命”而成为地球上唯一的、最大的宿主;通过金钱、帝国、宗教建立...
评分尤瓦尔的这本人类简史是一本非常惊艳之作,作者以极其广阔的思路和相当毒辣的笔触,从人类心智发展的角度分析了人类文明的变迁。 开头不久的一个结论就让我对这本书留下了极其深刻的印象——智人优于动物之处,在于智人可以构建共同的“想象”/谎言/神话,而共同神话使得人类...
评分 评分这本书给我的观感,一言以蔽之,即为“标新立异”。作者结合了自己所涉猎过的许多方面,试图从一个全新的广阔的角度来解读人类史,但由于他的涉猎广而不精,以至于我不得不说,他几乎在任何一方面都做得不好。仅就几个我比较了解的领域而言,作为一个半外行,我仍然能够挑出他...
