A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China.

The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure.

This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.

作者的主要逻辑是: 英国为了维持对华贸易的优势,在战争前期精心维护着清政府和南方叛军之间的均势平衡,谁都有机会。但美洲大陆的另一场类似性质的内战打破了英帝国的全球贸易体系,急需选择一个看起来能继续合作的对手打破亚洲大陆上的僵局。 此时洪仁轩温和但没有实力支撑...

天国之秋 冬日读它 中国人的太平天国史观,大多来自于马克思,一则是众所周知的原因;二则是由于太平天国发生时,马克思担任《纽约每日论坛报》伦敦通讯记者,正埋头清理他对资本主义的看法,马克思自然会把远在万里之外的中国中国内战和全球经济以及资本主义的发展联系起来。 ...

这感觉已经不对

评分

把英文版和中文版对照着读了一遍,可以负责任地说:不用看英文版了,中文版的文字比英文版更好,一些古诗词等翻回中文后才有意境,看英文反而有隔靴搔痒的感觉。

评分

本书比较通俗的介绍了太平天国从发展到衰亡的过程,作者作为一个外国汉学着,着重点在于太平天国叛乱期间西方势力特别是英国、法国、美国的影响,作者力图说明以英国为首的西方势力采取的是中立的政策,但是民间则有支持太平天国和清政府两种立场,特别是传教士以及华尔、戈登的洋枪队、常胜军则是其中的典型代表。
