評分昨日的世界。For the price it had paid, humanity’s major gain was a painful view of its own limitations.
評分山雨欲來風滿樓
巴巴拉·W·塔奇曼(Barbara W. Tuchman,1912—1989),美國著名曆史學傢、作傢,1963年和1972年憑《八月炮火》與《史迪威與美國在中國的經驗,1911—1945》兩度獲得普利策奬。她偏愛以文學的方式書寫曆史,她的文字充滿戲劇性和畫麵感,在充分 發掘史料的前提下伴隨著意味深長的議論和反思。其作品深受大眾讀者和費正清等曆史學傢的推崇。
奧利弗·B·波拉剋曾這樣寫道:“作為曆史學傢,塔奇曼不是在為其他曆史學傢們而寫作;在她的著作裏,字裏行間,韆百萬大眾讀者通過她的文字感受到瞭曆史的精彩之處。”
The diplomatic origins, so-called, of the War are only the fever chart of the patient; they do not tell us what caused the fever. To probe for underlying causes and deeper forces one must operate within the framework of a whole society and try to discover what moved the people in it.
--Barbara W. Tuchman
The fateful quarter-century leading up to the World War I was a time when the world of Privilege still existed in Olympian luxury and the world of Protest was heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate. The age was the climax of a century of the most accelerated rate of change in history, a cataclysmic shaping of destiny.
In The Proud Tower, Barbara Tuchman concentrates on society rather than the state. With an artist's selectivity, Tuchman bings to vivid life the people, places, and events that shaped the years leading up to the Great War: the Edwardian aristocracy and the end of their reign; the Anarchists of Europe and America, who voiced the protest of the oppressed; Germany, as portrayed through the figure of the self-depicted Hero, Richard Strauss; the sudden gorgeous blaze of Diaghilev's Russian Ballet and Stravinsky's music; the Dreyfus Affair; the two Peace Conferences at the Hague; and, finally, the youth, ideals, enthusiasm, and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized in the moment when the heroic Jean Jaurès was shot to death on the night the War began and an epoch ended.
"Tuchman [was] a distinguished historian who [wrote] her books with a rare combination of impeccable scholarship and literary polish. . . . It would be impossible to read The Proud Tower without pleasure and admiration."
--The New York Times
"Tuchman proved in The Guns of August that she could write better military history than most men. In this sequel, she tells her story with cool wit and warm understanding, eschewing both the sweeping generalizations of a Toynbee and the minute-by-minute simplicisms of a Walter Lord."
--Time
历史在塔奇曼笔下并不是曲折离奇的故事,她能用简短而生动的语言勾勒出茫茫史料海洋中沉浮的那些人和事,去抓住时代的脉搏与社会的变迁趋势。人物方面,索尔兹伯里勋爵、里德议长、理查德·施特劳斯这些人物令人印象深刻,而谈到整体社会氛围,德雷福斯事件和海牙国际会议同样...
評分作者的知识体系很丰富,可能跟她的出身有关,但这本书确实不错,读起来很舒服,尤其是关于德雷福斯案件跟施特劳斯那两章,如何对历史进行基本史实的讲述与相对客观的价值观传递,她给出了一个参考方式。 索尔兹伯里勋爵士,里布尔斯代尔勋爵,克鲁泡特金,反叛杂志,托马斯b里...
評分巴巴菈‧W‧塔奇曼,應該不用太過介紹,幾年前,她的名著《八月砲火》譯成中文後,應該讓許多軍迷趨之若鶩,筆者也是其中一位。不過說來慚愧,筆者就只愛她對於戰前各國的描述,整本書反覆讀了兩三回,都在開戰後的篇章就停下來了。可能是前面的篇章真的寫的太棒了吧。 塔...
評分缘起 我是读过fiction《巨人的陨落》,继之以这本non-fiction《骄傲之塔》的。 第一章 刚读了《骄傲之塔》的第一章“权贵 (英国:1895-1902)”就更能理解《巨人的陨落》里菲茨这样的贵族身上那种缘起不知所以的优越和最终不知所之的勇气是从何而来的。 第二章 第三章 第四章 第...
