Highly regarded here and abroad for some thirty works of cultural history and criticism, master historian Jacques Barzun has now set down in one continuous narrative the sum of his discoveries and conclusions about the whole of Western culture since 1500. In this account, Barzun describes what Western Man wrought from the Renaisance and Reformation down to the present in the double light of its own time and our pressing concerns. He introduces characters and incidents with his unusual literary style and grace, bringing to the fore those that have "Puritans as Democrats," "The Monarch's Revolution," "The Artist Prophet and Jester" -- show the recurrent role of great themes throughout the eras. The triumphs and defeats of five hundred years form an inspiring saga that modifies the current impression of one long tale of oppression by white European males. Women and their deeds are prominent, and freedom (even in sexual matters) is not an invention of the last decades. And when Barzun rates the present not as a culmination but a decline, he is in no way a prophet of doom. Instead, he shows decadence as the creative novelty that will burst forth -- tomorrow or the next day. Only after a lifetime of separate studies covering a broad territory could a writer create with such ease the synthesis displayed in this magnificent volume.

作者说他为这本书的筹备花了一生的时间,这份辛劳是毋庸置疑的,从马丁•路德掀起的宗教革命,一直到上世纪九十年代,这本书中对于西方文化领域五百年来错综复杂的种种历史和现象,进行了大量的记录和陈述,才完成了这部总厚度达到868页的作品,其中史料的丰富是毋庸置疑的。...

如果写不出一本气势恢宏、荡气回肠的大书,就去读一读前人的巨作吧。 按我粗浅的理解,非虚构类的书籍,最容易配得上大书的名字。吉本的《罗马帝国衰亡史》无疑是这类书的代表作。商务印书馆有两卷本的译本,最近有一家豪华的出版社,出了六册所谓全译本,每册80元,全套要48...

看到第一眼的时候被它吸引,本以为是西方宫廷史,打开书时发现它是一部伟大的西方文化史。记载着500年的西方文化,1500年---至今,讲述着西方文化的前进,演变历史。笔记写了好多页后,慢慢才发现作者的思绪。。。。。。 作者雅克•巴尔赞,他用50年的时间写出了这部《从黎...

如你想了解五百年來西方歷史,如書名所示,這書是講西方文化生活的。對了解一般歷史毫無幫助。 如你只想一般了解西方文化,還是讀幾本內容具體背景清晰的斷代史或文化發展史。此書一樣幫助不大。 作者知道好多好多好多好多好多東西,有絮叨傾向,講述作者很個人的意見看法,...
