圖書描述

A sweeping new history of how climate change and disease helped bring down the Roman Empire

Here is the monumental retelling of one of the most consequential chapters of human history: the fall of the Roman Empire. The Fate of Rome is the first book to examine the catastrophic role that climate change and infectious diseases played in the collapse of Rome’s power—a story of nature’s triumph over human ambition.

Interweaving a grand historical narrative with cutting-edge climate science and genetic discoveries, Kyle Harper traces how the fate of Rome was decided not just by emperors, soldiers, and barbarians but also by volcanic eruptions, solar cycles, climate instability, and devastating viruses and bacteria. He takes readers from Rome’s pinnacle in the second century, when the empire seemed an invincible superpower, to its unraveling by the seventh century, when Rome was politically fragmented and materially depleted. Harper describes how the Romans were resilient in the face of enormous environmental stress, until the besieged empire could no longer withstand the combined challenges of a “little ice age” and recurrent outbreaks of bubonic plague.

A poignant reflection on humanity’s intimate relationship with the environment, The Fate of Rome provides a sweeping account of how one of history’s greatest civilizations encountered and endured, yet ultimately succumbed to the cumulative burden of nature’s violence. The example of Rome is a timely reminder that climate change and germ evolution have shaped the world we inhabit—in ways that are surprising and profound.

First published in 2017.

Kyle Harper is professor of classics and letters and senior vice president and provost at the University of Oklahoma. He is the author of Slavery in the Late Roman World, AD 275–425 and From Shame to Sin: The Christian Transformation of Sexual Morality in Late Antiquity. He lives in Norman, Oklahoma.

不敢再小看中國翻譯瞭,掃完英文版後突然發現有中文的(小聲逼逼去年我看的美國史就一本翻譯也沒看到)。這本書介入古代史的方式很有意義。

四星半。Climate Change and the Decline of Rome 非常有意思的題目,關注人應對環境變化這一維度,算是這一單薄的領域中少有的佳作瞭。Woolf對本書提齣的一大遺憾是,人對環境的形塑與改造,以及由此引發的人與環境的矛盾,在本書中地位仍然不高。雖然Harper聲稱自己並不忽視人類力量,但他寫齣的東西好像比聲稱的要弱一些。相比來說,Harper做掉瞭相對好辦的工作(不,其實已經很難做瞭),還有下一步等待推進。

“过去认为影响罗马命运的主角是:皇帝、蛮族、将军、军士、奴隶。现在换个角度,认知到“非人因素”其实更有决定性:细菌、病毒、火山、太阳黑子周期。换言之,气候变迁与疾病瘟疫,才是决定剧本的匿名作者,将相英雄只是棋子。” 01 — 英文版是2017年出的,算比较新的书。 ...

大多数人对于大型传染病的记忆,也仅限于2003年的SARS爆发。但其实,传染病的历史与人类历史几乎一样长(甚至更长)。在漫长的古代岁月,那个没有任何现代医疗,也缺乏基本的流行病知识的年代,瘟疫的反复爆发,及其带来的不计其数的死亡,曾经无数次改写了人类的历史。 一直痴...
