作者說此書是寫《劍橋中國史》的餘料而成。確實像寫通史的那種感覺,趣味有深度就欠缺瞭。

評分一齣精彩的小人物導齣大格局的分析,是一本很好的引導思考的書。但需警惕小人物相對局限的生活場景和地點也十分影響他們的觸覺和生命走嚮。

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.
这是我读的第二本加拿大汉学家卜正民所写的介绍明朝商业历史的书籍,第一本是《维米尔的帽子》。还记得读《维米尔的帽子》时就被书中引人入胜的明朝商业贸易内容和卜正民严谨、客观却又不失其流畅的散文式文笔叙述相关历史的特点所折服。 正如在这本书中开篇的序言中作者所讲的...
評分众所周知,儒家一直提倡“农为本,商为末”“农业是树干,商业是枝叶”“崇本抑末”,因为在儒家的观念里,商业就是把A的钱赚到B的荷包里,交易过程中没有发生财富增殖。然而实际上,正是流通和流动的过程才是财富增殖的过程,只要有了流动性,哪怕是垃圾也能是财富(比如以前...
評分其实一直想先看《为权力祈祷—佛教与晚明中国士绅社会的形成》这本书,没想到先读了《纵乐的困惑—明代的商业与文化》,两本书的作者卜正民(Timothy Brook),加拿大人,1951年生。多伦多大学文学士、哈佛大学文学硕士、哲学博士,长期在多伦多大学教授中国历史,1997...
