冲着作者翻译过阿q正传等鲁迅作品才买的,作者对中西方鸦片战争态度和观点不同下了很大的功夫,即了解中国近现代史的混乱表述,也有西方战争期间一手资料,很有趣。
评分written with such sneering cynicism
评分历史中的人 都尽了自己的努力去做出自认为正确的选择
评分Another good discussion yesterday. Mostly on nationalism (and the education thereof) and cultural history. News come into attention the next day morning, of drug smuggling in Mexico, S. Korea's urge of Japanese compensation for comfort women, and the lowered US flag in Iraq. Main takeaway: the inventiveness of the late 200 yr Chinese history.
评分左,condescendent,缺乏历史研究深度。
Julia Lovell has worked at Birkbeck since 2007. Before then, she was Junior Research Fellow at Queens’ College, Cambridge. She completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at Emmanuel College, Cambridge; she also studied for a year at the Hopkins-Nanjing Centre for Chinese Studies. She has translated many works, as well as writing insightful works into the history of China.
She has written articles in the Guardian, the London Times and the Economist on China.
‘On the outside, [the foreigners] seem intractable, but inside they are cowardly. . . Although there have been a few ups-and-downs, the situation as a whole is under control.’
In October 1839, a few months after the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, Lin Zexu, dispatched these confident words to his emperor, a cabinet meeting in Windsor voted to fight Britain’s first Opium War (1839-42) with China. The conflict turned out to be rich in tragicomedy: in bureaucratic fumblings, military missteps, political opportunism and collaboration. Yet over the past 170 years, this strange tale of misunderstanding, incompetence and compromise has become the founding myth of modern Chinese nationalism: the start of China’s heroic struggle against a Western conspiracy to destroy the country with opium and gunboat diplomacy.
Beginning with the dramas of the war itself, Julia Lovell explores its causes and consequences and, through this larger narrative, interweaves the curious stories of opium’s promoters and attackers. The Opium War is both the story of modern China – starting from this first conflict with the West – and an analysis of the country’s contemporary self-image. It explores how China’s national myths mould its interactions with the outside world, how public memory is spun to serve the present; and how delusion and prejudice have bedevilled its relationship with the modern West.

#深夜读书笔记#1、两本书几乎相差20年,茅的第一版95年,英国人蓝诗玲的汉文版15年。茅的这本天朝的崩溃算是其成名作。绝大部分是前清档案或时人笔记,外文的引用资料较少。而蓝的鸦片战争除了广引用中方资料外,还有当时英国国会或政府档案以及军方人士回忆录。2、茅的笔调决...

评分又一次失败了,作为一个对历史不大感冒但又想了解一些的我,底子薄的只能选择了这本看起来通俗易懂的书,花了一个星期差不多啃完了,说说几点感受: 一,关于翻译和排版。不知道是我语言能力差还是怎么的,好几个翻译的地方研读了几遍还是没有搞明白什么意思,确认是正版的书,...
评分大背景,南美独立运动令全球白银供应紧张。“1810年代和1820年代的拉丁美洲独立运动,导致全世界白银产量减少了56.6%。首先,他使得英国用于购买中国茶叶和生丝的白银量减少。其次,英国商人不得不越来越多的求助于鸦片,而不是供不应求的白银,换取他们要购买的茶叶和生丝。”...
