Born in France in 1907, Jacques Barzun came to the United States in 1920.After graduating from Columbia College, he joined the faculty of the university, becoming Seth Low Professor of History and, for a decade, Dean of Faculties and Provost.The author of some thirty books, including the New York Times bestseller From Dawn to Decadence, he received the Gold Medal for Criticism from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, of which he was twice president. He lives in San Antonio, Texas.
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.

评分老爷子活到104。93岁时出版了这套800页涵盖西方社会500年的书。没有长时间的积累和思考,谁也不敢写这么一个大题目。看的时候就在想,这书才该叫“人类群星闪耀时”。太多的人名、太多的主义。我最大的一个感触是东西方都经历了类似的占据社会超长时间的一元思想/信仰在崩塌后...
评分我在书店的历史类书架前闲逛,无意间发现了一本差点错过的大好书。这本书叫《从黎明到衰落–西方文化生活五百年,1500年至今》(From Dawn to Decadence),作者是Jacques Barzun,曾经荣获2000年美国国家图书奖。仅仅读了它的序言,我就被它深深吸引住了。书中先引用了威廉-詹...
