图书描述

For nearly a century the two most powerful nations on earth - Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia - fought a secret war in the lonely passes and deserts of Central Asia. Those engaged in this shadowy struggle called it 'The Great Game', a phrase immortalized in Kipling's Kim.

When play first began the two rival empires lay nearly 2,000 miles apart. By the end, some Russian outposts were within 20 miles of India.

This classic book tells the story of the Great Game through the exploits of the young officers, both British and Russian, who risked their lives playing it. Disguised as holy men or native horse-traders, they mapped secret passes, gathered intelligence and sought the allegiance of powerful khans. Some never returned. The violent repercussions of the Great Game are still convulsing Central Asia today.

著者简介

Peter Hopkirk has travelled widely over many years in the regions where his six books are set --- Central Asia, the Caucasus, China, India and Pakistan, Iran and Eastern Turkey. Before turning full-time author, he was an ITN reporter and newscaster for two years, the New York correspondent of the old Daily Express, and worked for nearly twenty years on The Times; five as its chief reporter, and latterly as Middle and Far East specialist. In the 1950s he edited the West African news magazine Drum, sister paper to its legendary South African namesake. Before entering Fleet Street he served as a subaltern in the King's African Rifles --- in the same battalion as Lance Corporal Idi Amin, later to emerge as the Ugandan tyrant. No stranger to misadventure, Hopkirk has twice been held in secret-police cells --- in Cuba and the Middle East --- and also been hijacked by Arab terrorists. His works have been translated into fourteen languages. In 1999 he was awarded the Sir Percy Sykes Memorial Medal for his writing and travels by the Royal Society for Asian Affairs.

书是好书,佩服作者吊人胃口的能力,但多余的话也是有点多,而且不看作者都知道是个英国人也写的。

读后感

评分

按以前的阅读速度和习惯,本来是应该一口气读完的。无奈分心的事情太多,于是拖了不少天数。 本来想打五星,考虑到是英国人写的,用的英国人的视角以及代表的利益,尽管已经非常客观,还是扣掉一星。 三观正,不管是涉及到新疆还是西藏的部分,表示,历史上从来都是中华帝国的...

History is supposed to be boring, it all depends who's telling the story. Peter Hopkirk is definitely one of the best narrators of history.

对英俄双方来说,19世纪是一个在中亚争霸、扩张帝国疆界的时代;对双方一线的人员而言,则是一个充满个人英雄主义的时代,为了帝国的荣誉,个人的理想,不避艰难险阻,甚至不惜牺牲生命,穿越浩瀚危险的沙漠,攀越白雪覆盖、人迹罕至的帕米尔崇山峻岭,探索未知世界,收集中亚...

霍普柯克这部作品,看起来归为带学术性的通俗历史写作或科普读物一类可能更合适些。这么说毫无贬低之意,我也不认为哪个比哪个就一定更高。而且全书视野宏大,作者也投入了某种感情,读来不仅有知识上的提升,也令人为之动容。不论是俄罗斯帝国边疆军人的勃勃雄心,还是大英帝...
