The Great Arab Conquests pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Today’s Arab world was created at breathtaking speed. In just over 100 years following the death of Mohammed in 632, Arabs had subjugated a territory with an east-west expanse greater than the Roman Empire. They did it in about one-half the time. By the mid-8th century, Arab armies had conquered the 1000-year-old Persian Empire, reduced the Byzantine Empire to little more than a city-state based around Constantinople, and destroyed the Visigoth kingdom of Spain. The cultural and linguistic effects of this early Islamic expansion reverberate today. This is the first popular English-language account in many years of this astonishing remaking of the political and religious map of the world. Hugh Kennedy’s sweeping narrative reveals how the Arab armies conquered almost everything in their path, and brings to light the unique characteristics of Islamic rule. One of the few academic historians with a genuine talent for story telling, Kennedy offers a compelling mix of larger-than-life characters, fierce battles, and the great clash of civilizations and religions.

評分 評分 評分阿拉伯大征服,或者也可以说是伊斯兰大征服,塑造的不仅是当代地缘政治的源头,也是当代阿拉伯思想观念的源头。我们现在习以为常的穆斯林世界,并非本来如此,但又必然如此。 阿拉伯征服是典型的以少胜多。作者在解释这一现象时,认为是由于拜占庭和萨珊波斯之间的战争和瘟疫,...
評分阿拉伯帝国的崛起是世界历史上的一个奇迹:自先知默罕默德归真后的短短一个世纪,阿拉伯人不仅征服了欧亚非大片领土,而且实现了稳固统治。虽然这样快速的大征服在世界史上并不是孤例(比如亚历山大的马其顿帝国和忽必烈的蒙古国),但像阿拉伯帝国这样实现长久统治并对世界文...
