This new entry in the Longman Library of World Biography series offers an intimate and provocative account of the Manchu emperor Qianlong (1711-1799), one of the world,s great empire-builders, who helped build the foundation of the modern Chinese nation. During the 64 years of Qianlong,s rule, China,s population more than doubled, its territory increased by one-third, its cities flourished, and its manufactures - tea, silk, porcelain - were principal items of international commerce. Based on original Chinese and Manchu-language sources, and drawing on the latest scholarship, this is the biography of the man who, in presiding over imperial China,s last golden epoch, created the geographic and demographic framework of modern China. This accessible account describes the personal struggles and public drama surrounding one of the major political figures of the early modern age, with special consideration given to the emperor,s efforts to rise above ethnic divisions and to encompass the political and religious traditions of Han Chinese, Mongols, Tibetans, Turks, and other peoples of his realm. In addition to becoming familiar with one of the most remarkable figures in world history, readers will find that learning about Emperor Qianlong will add greatly to their appreciation of China,s place in the world of the eighteenth century and will deepen their understanding of China,s place in the world today.

乾隆帝是一部从老外的视角讲述的中国历史。很多中国人认为,乾隆时代是历史上少有的太平盛世,可是,这个老外却用大量篇幅讲述了乾隆超大自上而下弥漫全国的腐朽与没落,可以说,没有乾隆,可能就不会有后来的一系列战败的苦果,老外向我们揭示了这样一个事实,在西方国家突飞...
评分书是本好书,只是怀疑出版社是否吃了印刷厂回扣,里面的插图印得模糊一团,比80年代的出版物还不如。 封面做得太庸俗了,可能是出版社为迎合读者走销量。 翻译上一点问题:只看了下萨满教那部分,不知道原书的哪个单词,被分别翻译成了“明礼”、“暗礼”?根据上下文,似乎...
评分 评分以一个美国学者的视角来写中国人所皆知的皇帝,写给外国读者做普及,效果原本很好。但如果又翻译回中文,让中国读者来随着美国作者的思绪,了解乾隆,似乎并十分解渴,甚至也与原本的判断有些出入。 但书中重要的可取之处,就是作者在展示乾隆的成长历史同时,会加入同时期欧洲...
评分这本书给我们一种启发,当然这种启发并不是第一次了,但正如定宜庄先生在序中所传达出的,以18世纪世界历史大变局中的中华帝国皇帝乾隆帝来作为切入口对于中国知识界很多人脑海中仍然存在的“康乾盛世”观念,无疑有巨大的冲击。葛兆光先生对于超越国境的“亚洲”、“世界”、...
Whole book talks about "building the image".
评分A fair summary of recent studies on Qing(or 18th century China) history, with concise narratives and analysis on Qianlong. After all, you can not demand too much from a biography...
评分朗文出版,普及读本,各入各眼,笔法求活泼而少庄重,目的尚多面而缺深入,格调重移情个人而轻冷酷权术,拔高到扛鼎地位是自讨没趣,踩低到一文不值又过于极端。所谓新处或在于用一整章谈乾隆戊定边事对于清帝国发展成真正多民族普世性帝国的意义,探究和同时期奥斯曼、沙俄等帝国是否可归并为同一种帝国史,乾隆眼中家国一体忠孝治理的理念对边疆政策的影响,自身在天下一人和稳定帝国形象中的自我陶醉,五大矛盾后果,及乾隆对于中华帝国“前现代性”和“天下普世性”发展到顶峰而又转向衰落的矛盾作用。
