具体描述
This is the story of a failed attempt by the British, in 1793, to open the Chinese Empire to Western trade. Led by Lord Macartney, whose distinguished diplomatic posts included India and the Caribbean, the enormous British expedition of nearly 700 men included doctors, scholars, painters, musicians, soldiers and young aristocrats, and lasted more than two years, and its success would have redefined the history of the 19th and 20th centuries. The author has made use of a variety of sources, including, on the British side, the diary of the 12-year-old Thomas Stanton, son of Macartney's deputy, who was the only person in the whole English fleet who spoke Chinese, and, on the Chinese side, the newly discovered secret reports of the Emperor's officials, all annotated by the Emperor himself.

评分终于读完这本著作，本来想写一写自己对于佩雷菲特点题的“停滞”二字的体会，可是在写之前看了先前的许多评论以后，却又被大部分对这本书的评论所激起，想谈谈对评论的评论。 挑了一个对这本书“失望”的，http://www.douban.com/review/1224002/, 也许有一些代表意义。 读完...
评分我已不再愿听老人的智慧 而宁愿听到老人的愚行 听到老人对不安和狂乱所感受到的恐惧。 ——T.S.艾略特 历史是一剂猛药。 当我在首图阅览室某个隐蔽的书架上偶然找到《停滞的帝国》时并没有想起这点，只是...
评分本书重要之处在于： 1，重述了马戛尔尼使团访华之行始末，打破了西方人的幻想，之前因为耶稣会修士们的信件和《马可波罗游记》中描述，中华帝国被描述成世外桃源般的国度（Xanadu），里面的统治者和子民仿佛都是智者贤人。实际上如何呢，观者自知——举个例子说就是那些替马戛...
评分终于看完了这本500页厚的书，这是我早就关注的书了，但说实话，通读完并没给我所想象的震撼，现在毕竟不同于几十年前。但是的确它提供了一个外国人看中国的独特视角。 这本书最大的特点就是对资料的占有，作者通过使团的文件和日记，传教士的通信以及连一般中国人都不得...
