具体描述
Beginning with their introduction in the eleventh century, and ending with their widespread abandonment in the seventeenth, Marc Morris explores many of the country's most famous castles, as well as some spectacular lesser-known examples. At times this is an epic tale, driven by characters like William the Conqueror, King John and Edward I, full of sieges and conquest on an awesome scale. But it is also by turns an intimate story of less eminent individuals, whose adventures, struggles and ambitions were reflected in the fortified residences they constructed. Be it ever so grand or ever so humble, a castle was first and foremost a home. To understand castles - who built them, who lived in them, and why - is to understand the forces that shaped medieval Britain.

评分上学时的一门课:英国和英语国家概况。很厚的一本全英文书，当时对英国史充满兴趣。在一个夏天，这本书被人借走就再没回来。 城堡与历史，这是一个很好的写作题材。 介绍城堡实际是丝丝入扣的讲历史。毕竟很多城堡都已经废弃破败甚至只有遗址。城堡过去的辉煌只能想象，可是历史...
评分 评分我很喜欢《城堡的故事》这本书，可能是因为我很喜欢城堡有关。在中国少见这种巨大的使用石头制造建筑物，中国古代建筑物大多是木制，因此从来都不算高，看上去难说雄伟。 中世纪的城堡拥有一种独特的浪漫气氛，总觉得与骑士公主相关。但是在我们大多是在影视作品中看到的城堡，...
