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.
重读《从黎明到衰落-西方文化生活500年》 时间真快,五年前读过这本厚厚的文化史巨著。当时叹为观止。最近开始重读,又有很多启发。 “文艺复兴时期大量的论文说明了这场文化运动的性质。人们通常以为它是由几个天才发起的,有些崇拜者、赞助人和能言善辩的支持者参加,他们...
评分根据我从小到大读历史书而得来的经验,我认为了解历史能让我认识到人类最独特的优点,也能展现我们致命的缺点。因此,对我来说读史书除了可以学习新的知识,也能让我们自我反省,并且帮助我们探索到自己的上线,能力,还有可能造成的人为灾害。由于我已经读过无数本中国的史书...

评分在《我们应有的文化》一书中,巴尔赞对现代学术特别是文学、历史进行了严厉的批判,认为过去读历史作品是为了满足好奇心,刺激想象力,提高自己的心智,上乘的历史作品还是重要的文学名著。今天,历史写作已经被委托给专业的历史学者,那些人写书的目的不是给公众提供读物,而...
评分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...
