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.

評分天国之秋 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。 ...

評分与太平天国相关的书，堪称汗牛充栋，多一本少一本，似乎已不再重要，在这个熟题材上想写出新意来，几乎不可能。 但，裴士锋告诉我们，其实还有完全不同的新视角，那就是从国际政治来看太平天国：太平天国与美国南北战争有什么关系？洪仁玕为什么要写不大可能执行的《资政新篇...
用戶評價
略翻一過。似乎並沒太大意思。
评分洋人的一廂情願。
评分好扯啊......
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.
评分基督教不足親近西方卻足以使儒傢士大夫痛恨欲除之而後快
