This new entry in the Longman Library of World Biography series offers an intimate and provocative account of the Manchu emperor Qianlong (1711-1799), one of the world,s great empire-builders, who helped build the foundation of the modern Chinese nation. During the 64 years of Qianlong,s rule, China,s population more than doubled, its territory increased by one-third, its cities flourished, and its manufactures - tea, silk, porcelain - were principal items of international commerce. Based on original Chinese and Manchu-language sources, and drawing on the latest scholarship, this is the biography of the man who, in presiding over imperial China,s last golden epoch, created the geographic and demographic framework of modern China. This accessible account describes the personal struggles and public drama surrounding one of the major political figures of the early modern age, with special consideration given to the emperor,s efforts to rise above ethnic divisions and to encompass the political and religious traditions of Han Chinese, Mongols, Tibetans, Turks, and other peoples of his realm. In addition to becoming familiar with one of the most remarkable figures in world history, readers will find that learning about Emperor Qianlong will add greatly to their appreciation of China,s place in the world of the eighteenth century and will deepen their understanding of China,s place in the world today.

For the details, refer my diary. As the author mentions in the preface, the book is based on secondhand research. Of course, the Qianlong emperor might be the most often researched figure in Chinese history. There are tons of books, in all kinds of language...
评分当我们谈论乾隆时,我们在谈论什么? 在我们这个时代的历史叙述中,作为盛世之君的乾隆帝已很难说是一个正面形象。说到乾隆,最常出现的无非是三个关键词:文字狱、闭关自守、盛世。前两 个词自然是贬义词,几乎是作为乾隆最大的历史污点共同存在,在当下最流行的叙述中,乾隆...
评分中国人是比较随性的,在历史这件事上,就有正史和野史。而且往往野史特别吸引人。就拿乾隆来说,近代的影视作品,诸如《戏说乾隆》、《还珠格格》,让观众记住了一个风流的皇帝,却不了解乾隆到底是怎样的一个帝王。 同时,中国的历史记录是有局限性的。漫长的封建王朝更迭,...
评分书后对有关乾隆帝的一二手文献的概述 p.255 房兆楹没有译出 p.258 诺曼·库彻(Norman Kutcher)中文名“柯启玄” p.260 布莱恩·多特(Brian Dott)中文名“达安白” p.263 大卫·欧恩比(David Ownby)中文名“王大为” p.264 一个编校错误,《说扬州》英文书名不该用书名号...
评分以一个美国学者的视角来写中国人所皆知的皇帝,写给外国读者做普及,效果原本很好。但如果又翻译回中文,让中国读者来随着美国作者的思绪,了解乾隆,似乎并十分解渴,甚至也与原本的判断有些出入。 但书中重要的可取之处,就是作者在展示乾隆的成长历史同时,会加入同时期欧洲...
大晚上的看了如同吃巧克力一样的激动起来了,久违的感觉
评分2009 winter @ Carlyle
评分朗文出版,普及读本,各入各眼,笔法求活泼而少庄重,目的尚多面而缺深入,格调重移情个人而轻冷酷权术,拔高到扛鼎地位是自讨没趣,踩低到一文不值又过于极端。所谓新处或在于用一整章谈乾隆戊定边事对于清帝国发展成真正多民族普世性帝国的意义,探究和同时期奥斯曼、沙俄等帝国是否可归并为同一种帝国史,乾隆眼中家国一体忠孝治理的理念对边疆政策的影响,自身在天下一人和稳定帝国形象中的自我陶醉,五大矛盾后果,及乾隆对于中华帝国“前现代性”和“天下普世性”发展到顶峰而又转向衰落的矛盾作用。

评分实实在在是个普及知识版,不过这么薄的一本,又不是哲学书,也不能强求。
