"Castle" is a wide-ranging history of some of the most magnificent buildings in Britain. It explores many of the country's most famous and best-loved castles, as well as some little-known national treasures. The story begins in the 11th century, when castles were introduced to Britain, and ends in the 17th century, when they were largely abandoned. It is, in some respects, an epic tale, driven by characters like William the Conqueror, "Bad" King John and Edward I, who, by building and besieging castles, shaped the fate of the nation. At the same time, however, it is a more homely story, about the adventures, struggles and ambitions of lesser-known individuals, and how every aspect of their lives was wrapped up in the castles they built. As Marc Morris shows, there is more to castles than drawbridges and battlements, portcullises and arrow-loops. Be it ever so grand or ever so humble, a castle is first and foremost a home. It may look tough and defensible on the outside, but on the inside, a castle is all about luxury and creature comforts. Inside real castles, we do no necessarily find cannons and suits of armour, but we do discover great halls, huge kitchens, private chambers and chapels - all rooms which were once luxurious and lavish, and which made these buildings perfect residences for their owners. To understand castles - who built them, who lived in them, and why - is to understand the forces that shaped medieval Britain.

历史是凭借什么来说话的呢?一般情况下,历史依赖于人们的记载、各种遗存或后世的考古资料来还原历史的本来面貌。这个并非能够做到百分之百——因为主观的历史和客观的历史之间毕竟是有着远与近不等的关系的。今天呈现出来的历史的面貌,只是如今的人们所能感受、认知到的一切...
评分如果曾经看过大名鼎鼎的指环王系列电影第二部:双塔奇兵,相信一定还对高潮部分气势恢弘、波澜壮阔的圣盔谷大战记忆犹新。影片中白袍法师萨鲁曼派出一万强兽人军队试图攻陷人类阵营洛汗国,危难之际国王希优顿率领仅存的几百洛汗军,与全国百姓一起退守至圣盔谷。即使面对悬殊...
评分我很喜欢《城堡的故事》这本书,可能是因为我很喜欢城堡有关。在中国少见这种巨大的使用石头制造建筑物,中国古代建筑物大多是木制,因此从来都不算高,看上去难说雄伟。 中世纪的城堡拥有一种独特的浪漫气氛,总觉得与骑士公主相关。但是在我们大多是在影视作品中看到的城堡,...
