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...
评分知乎上一位大神对“文化”作出这样的定义： 根植于内心的修养 无需提醒的自觉 以约束为前提的自由 为别人着想的善良 微观到个体，宏观至社会，文化的养成、文明的进化无不是由内至...
