Born in a trunk, Jonathan has been travelling ever since and currently lives in Paris. Having taken a first from University College, London, he received his doctorate from Jesus College, Oxford. Early books include studies of British artists Eric Gill and David Jones. Most recently, Medusa, The Shipwreck, the Scandal and the Masterpiece, a voyage through the artistic, political and moral clashes of Restoration France, and Nine Lives of Otto Katz, the tale of a flamboyant Soviet spy, were both published to international acclaim.

St Petersburg 在線電子書 圖書描述

St Petersburg has always felt like an impossible metropolis, risen from the freezing mists and flooded marshland of the River Neva on t he western edge of Russia. It was a new capital in an old country. Established in 1703 by the sheer will of its charismatic founder, the homicidal megalomaniac Peter-the-Great, its dazzling yet unhinged reputation was quickly fashioned by the sadistic dominion of its early rulers.

This city, in its successive incarnations – St Petersburg; Petrograd; Leningrad and, once again, St Petersburg – has always been a place of perpetual contradiction. It was a window on to Europe and the Enlightenment, but so much of the glory of Russia was created here: its literature, music, dance and, for a time, its political vision. It gave birth to the artistic genius of Pushkin and Dostoyevsky, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, Pavlova and Nureyev. Yet, for all its glittering palaces, fairytale balls and enchanting gardens, the blood of thousands has been spilt on its snow-filled streets. It has been a hotbed of war and revolution, a place of siege and starvation, and the crucible for Lenin and Stalin’s power-hungry brutality.

In St Petersburg, Jonathan Miles recreates the drama of three hundred years in this absurd and brilliant city, bringing us up to the present day, when – once more – its fate hangs in the balance. This is an epic tale of murder, massacre and madness played out against squalor and splendour. It is an unforgettable portrait of a city and its people.

-----------------

"'This extraordinary book brings to life an astonishing place. Beautiful prose renders brutality vivid.' " (Gerard DeGroot The Times - BOOK OF THE WEEK)

"So fluent, so textured is Jonathan Miles’s ease with prose and argument that his vivid dissection of 300 years of St Petersburg’s history should be devoured in captive sittings... Investigating the artistic life of St Petersburg, he also explores the melodrama and blood on the streets and the effects of continuing political disarray and corruption on ordinary people. This is a storyteller entranced with his subject, who makes its brilliant portrayal look deliriously easy." (Susan Sheahan Guardian)

"[A] lively and entertaining biography... full of sparkling storytelling and well drawn characters... a delight." (Victor Sebestyen The Sunday Times)

"Jonathan Miles’s cinematic telling of the 300-year history of ... St Petersburg shows how the drama, the absurdity, the splendour and the squalor of the imperial capital all found their way into Russia’s finest s, operas and paintings... Miles peels back the layers of myth in which the city is swaddled, while never losing sight of its haunting grace." (Daniel Beer Observer)

"Recently there has been a plethora of new books on Russian history in all its guises, … so why more? Jonathan Miles’ narrative is a lot of more, … His history has a substantial foundation, but what makes it special is the sheer inescapable momentum of Miles’s prose, powered by the captivating intensity of his attachment to his subject. This is a story told by a writer enthralled – and disillusioned, as he sees no redemption in sight... A dazzling history of a dazzling city." (Marina Vaizey The Arts Desk)

"Many turbulent episodes richly brought to life in this panoramic study" (Event, Mail on Sunday)

。雅典的例子常被人用来衡量民主与专制的优劣,否定雅典式民主的人说,雅典就是因为这样而一再丧失优秀领导人,只剩僭主专政,日渐削弱,反不如斯巴达的君主制加奴隶制有效。以前每想到这一节,就总是陷入悖论式思绪中。现在我不想评论这个议题,但是现在的我觉得,因为黑暗是...

圣彼得堡,从其诞生之初的两百多年里,一度曾是俄罗斯帝国的代名词,但它其实是一个原本不可能存在的城市。虽然世上的绝大部分城市都难免人为规划的因素,但多多少少总是“自然生长”出来的,而它却像是希腊神话中的雅典娜,一出生就全副武装地从天神宙斯的头颅中跳出来。尽管...

参加了大象公会的共读,两周打卡时间内读完了此书,搬下打卡作业。 DAY 1 作者的第一章对于我这种对圣彼得堡一无所知的人来说看得有点混乱,听了导读顿时感觉脉络被理清了。真是个魔幻的城市,对它的故事越发好奇了。另外,俄国沙皇都是近亲结婚的吗?怎么短命的短命,残疾的残...
