"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
“在谈论中国的小说中,最具美学成就的三部,都完成于二十世纪,分别为卡夫卡的《中国长城》(),博尔赫斯的《曲径分岔的花园》(),和卡尔维诺的《看不见的城市》()。但是三本小说却完成于不同时段,彼此间隔了大约二十五年,一本在一战时期,一本在二战时期,一本在1970...
評分 評分昨天到今天,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...
評分史景迁这部大部头巨著,从西方人的角度看宋元以降的中国,比较有趣,可能看法一厢情愿。正所谓“一切历史皆为当代史”,史景迁在概括《大汗之国》的立意时说:“这不只是一本关于中国的书,更是一本关于文化刺激与回应的书。”史景迁从马可波罗的世界,一直谈到近现代西方文学...
評分标题有趣。“在13世纪的马可波罗笔下,当时是可汗统治着这个传说中的国度。而在哥伦布的心中,可汗一直是中国的统治者。”所以标题“大汗之国”,一定程度上说明西方人眼里的神秘东方,仿佛还在大汗统治的年代。在马可•波罗时代,西方人对中国的印象基本是道听途说,以讹传...
