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.

评分 评分作者的主要逻辑是： 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...
评分徐瑾 唯有在对比之中，历史才充满了探索的可能性。 在清宫戏的流行中，大家惊讶于乾隆是华盛顿的同时代人，对于太平天国其实和美国南北战争几乎同时也感到陌生。的确，这场爆发于十九世纪中叶的运动，距离现在不过150年时间。 百年之后回首，伴随着众多新材料被挖掘，对太平天...

三年来读的第一本英文书，耗时长达4个月。
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。
评分这感觉已经不对

评分and when we congratulate ourselves on seeing through the darkened window that separates us from another civilization, heartened to discover the familiar forms that lie hidden among the shadows on the other side, sometimes we do without ever realizing that we are only gazing at our own reflection.
