A History of the World in 100 Objects pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
In A History of the World in 100 Objects, Neal MacGregor, director of the British Museum, takes readers on a tour of the world by way of its material goods. From everyday items such as pots, utensils, and money to valuables such as art and jewelry, MacGregor shows that the things humans have left behind are often as rich and informative as written texts. Whether it's a strange and unique object like a throne made of rifles from Mozambique or a medieval German crystal, or a familiar one like a sculpture of the head of Augustus or Hokusai's painting The Great Wave, MacGregor skillfully weaves each one into the fabric of the society that it came from. In that sense, the book is much more than a museum catalog: it's a hundred keyhole views into a hundred different societies from around the world and throughout history.
Neil MacGregor has been the director of the British Museum since 2002; prior to that, he was the director of the National Gallery in London. A popular presenter on BBC television and radio, he was named Briton of the Year in 2008. He lives in England.

評分讀得很感動的科普書,用瞭倆月的時間斷斷續續讀完,同時刷瞭兩遍horrible histories前五季,最後的大閤唱很能概括我對這本書的看法:we are history.
評分將全世界範圍內的大英博物館藏品按時代精神串聯在一起,窺斑見豹的人類文化簡史
評分好創意,長知識。要是選題和解說能更注重文物的考古和藝術價值,不要刻意追求社會價值就更好瞭。
評分陸陸續續讀完瞭,有幾篇非常非常不錯。喜歡他以全球的視角看曆史。從圖書館藉瞭一本紙質的再看一下插圖。
人对于历史的态度始终复杂难解,真实的记载、时间的湮灭与人为的掩饰相伴随行。 历史一直都是并将继续被误读、篡改和修正,在这些篡改和修正中,一定程度的真实艰难地维持着。其中,由于改动起来简单可操作、成本低,文字记载的所谓“信史”往往会成为谎言的重灾区、真理部治下...
評分如果是要写一本关于世界历史的书,总免不了某种意义上的宏大叙事,譬如人类的起源、人口的迁徙、国族的争斗等等,一切都被淹没在浩瀚的历史长河中,被淘洗出来的结果就是所有政治正确的论述:阶级流动、技术进步和社会变迁;另一种可能就是或八卦或戏谑或悲壮地臧否人物,最后...
評分 評分最近,央视综艺节目《国家宝藏》正在热播。我很应景地读了一部“世界宝藏”——《大英博物馆世界简史》。该书由馆长尼尔·麦格雷戈执笔,依着世界历史的脉络精选一百件珍贵馆藏,分为二十个部分,通过文物们的“前世传奇”一瞥人类历史的究竟。 我最初对博物馆的理解非常狭隘,...
評分也许是我的浅陋,还是第一次看到这样一部以器物为主角的世界史。说句暴露我水平低下的话,此前我一直以为世界史最好的就是斯塔夫里阿诺斯的《全球通史》,那一套书视野宏大,角度客观,我看了很多遍。 大英博物馆馆藏珍品无数,若从中选多当然易如反掌,然而从中只选取...
