Timothy Brook is Professor of History at the University of Toronto. He is the author of Praying for Power: Buddhism and the Formation of Gentry Society in Late-Ming China (1993), and Quelling the People: The Military Suppression of the Beijing Democracy Movement (1992), and the coeditor of Nation Work: Asian Elites and National Identities (1999) and China and Historical Capitalism: Genealogies of Sinological Knowledge (1999).
The Ming dynasty was the last great Chinese dynasty before the Manchu conquest in 1644. During that time, China, not Europe, was the center of the world: the European voyages of exploration were searching not just for new lands but also for new trade routes to the Far East. In this book, Timothy Brook eloquently narrates the changing landscape of life over the three centuries of the Ming (1368-1644), when China was transformed from a closely administered agrarian realm into a place of commercial profits and intense competition for status.
The Confusions of Pleasure marks a significant departure from the conventional ways in which Chinese history has been written. Rather than recounting the Ming dynasty in a series of political events and philosophical achievements, it narrates this longue durée in terms of the habits and strains of everyday life. Peppered with stories of real people and their negotiations of a rapidly changing world, this book provides a new way of seeing the Ming dynasty that not only contributes to the scholarly understanding of the period but also provides an entertaining and accessible introduction to Chinese history for anyone.
我认为最能反映一个王朝的兴衰是生活在王朝中的平民百姓或是小人物的生活经历。而加拿大汉学家-卜正民以独特的明朝百姓的生活视角叙述和揭示明朝的商业和文化的发展。有别与其他明朝研究著作对大人物的研究,小人物的研究更能让人感同身受。 “理想国度“ 洪武帝-朱元璋灭了元...
评分作为美国汉学大家孔飞力的学生,卜正民在研究路径、史料处理、叙述方法上,都颇得老师的真传,不禁让人想起《叫魂》一书。从本书来看,他试图摆脱对历史回顾的姿态,而是从当时一位籍籍无名的官员——张涛的角度,尝试着重新回到彼时的历史情景之中,全面的呈现“明代的商业与...

评分《纵乐的困惑:明代的商业与文化》, 从一块明砖开始的描述 加拿大籍历史学家卜正民(Timothy Brook)对中国明代的商业与文化史描述,是从南京老城墙上的一块砖开始的,那砖上烧刻有当时窑工的姓字。但那块砖至今还镶嵌在那里,历史学家也无法取下来,于是就开始...
以前一直以为这本书叫Confucius of Pleasure =.= 这本明史很有意思 开的角度很小 看起来轻松多了..原来还被三联翻译成《纵乐的困惑:明代的商业与文化》过,读到后面觉得有点disorder,扣一星
