"Like everything else written by Jonathan Spence, The Chan's Great Continent is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in China. Spence is one of the greatest Sinologists of our time, and his work is both authoritative and highly readable." — Los Angeles Times Book Review China has transfixed the West since the earliest contacts between these civilizations. With his characteristic elegance and insight, Jonathan Spence explores how the West has understood China over seven centuries. Ranging from Marco Polo's own depiction of China and the mighty Khan, Kublai, in the 1270s to the China sightings of three twentieth-century writers of acknowledged genius-Kafka, Borges, and Calvino-Spence conveys Western thought on China through a remarkable array of expression. Peopling Spence's account are Iberian adventurers, Enlightenment thinkers, spinners of the dreamy cult of Chinoiserie, and American observers such as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Ezra Pound, and Eugene O'Neill. Taken together, these China sightings tell us as much about the self-image of the West as about China. "Wonderful. . . . Spence brilliantly demonstrates [how] generation after generation of Westerners [have] asked themselves, 'What is it . . . that held this astonishing, diverse, and immensely populous land together?' "-- New York Times Book Review

评分昨天到今天,读了大半本《大汗之国——西方眼中的中国》。书中多数人名是我不认识也不了解的,由最有名的马可·波罗开始,各个时代各种传教士、旅行家、小说家对中国的印象与评价。他们关于中国的著作曾在西方有很大的影响力,虽说一些作家小说家根本没有到过中国。他们或多或...
评分在香港中文大学的推荐书单中第一次看到《大汉之国》的名字。作者史景迁,只看到他这么有中国味道的名字很难想象作者是地道的美国历史学家。他的中文名字是中国史学家房兆楹为他取的,意为治史就要敬仰司马迁。 一直以来都对境外对的学者撰写的关于中国的书籍很感兴趣。他们的...
评分以马可波罗为代表的一些作家、商人、士兵、传教士、传教士家属在机缘巧合下来到中国,他们用自己的亲身经历和臆想对中国的风土人情、经济、社会制度、军事等进行了一番描述。他们自己承认,他们的描述中很多是虚构和夸张的,有些只是为了表达对自己国家的一些制度和规则的不满...
评分“一个人可以成为别人的仇敌,成为别人一个时期的仇敌,但不能成为一个地区、萤火虫、字句、花园、水流和风的仇敌。” --博尔赫斯 《小径分岔的花园》 史景迁的《大汗之国:西方眼中的中国》这本书,再一次刷新了我的知识疆界。原来从元朝起,就有那么多西方人,怀着那么丰...
