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.
100件物品都是大英博物館館藏,漲知識,而且文字非常簡潔明瞭,就是篇幅比較長。偶爾有為西方殖民掠奪行為洗白傾嚮,所以要批判地閱讀[酷]

評分曆史的注腳
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...
評分在开篇之初,作者便提到:“重访一个儿时参观过的博物馆,许多人会感慨我们自身变化之大,而物品却一如既往。”作为中国读者,恐怕很难有机会二次游览大英博物馆,唯一能够体会作者心境的途径,大概就是先读读这本《大英博物馆》,然后当有机会去实地游览的时候体会一下重访之...
評分三年来第一次写书评,我觉得我快不会说话了。这本书我无法也没有能力去用刁钻的眼光或者学术知识去评价它,在阅读的时候只会一再又一再的刷新自己的见识之鄙陋。 作者说制造使我们成为了人类。在我看来一个极其粗糙的石块也是古人们经验的产物,需要详细的计划、...
評分这本书是看到严锋老师推荐买的,儿子先看的。我看到巨厚的三大册,心里先怯了,一直摆着。 今年和这套书有关的文物真的漂洋过海来到中国,在北京和上海展览。真的抽空去上海排队看了展。近几年走了一些博物馆,也看了些文物,所以看到大英博物馆的这些文物也没有太多惊喜,只是...
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...
