Neil MacGregor has been the director of the British Museum since 2002; prior to that, he was the director of the National Gallery in London. A popular presenter on BBC television and radio, he was named Briton of the Year in 2008. He lives in England.
In A History of the World in 100 Objects, Neal MacGregor, director of the British Museum, takes readers on a tour of the world by way of its material goods. From everyday items such as pots, utensils, and money to valuables such as art and jewelry, MacGregor shows that the things humans have left behind are often as rich and informative as written texts. Whether it's a strange and unique object like a throne made of rifles from Mozambique or a medieval German crystal, or a familiar one like a sculpture of the head of Augustus or Hokusai's painting The Great Wave, MacGregor skillfully weaves each one into the fabric of the society that it came from. In that sense, the book is much more than a museum catalog: it's a hundred keyhole views into a hundred different societies from around the world and throughout history.
这本书是看到严锋老师推荐买的,儿子先看的。我看到巨厚的三大册,心里先怯了,一直摆着。 今年和这套书有关的文物真的漂洋过海来到中国,在北京和上海展览。真的抽空去上海排队看了展。近几年走了一些博物馆,也看了些文物,所以看到大英博物馆的这些文物也没有太多惊喜,只是...
评分在写这篇书评之前,我想先坦诚地陈述三点—— 第一,我是个历史盲。读书时,历史学得最差,不仅世界史背得一塌糊涂,中国史从鸦片战争往后就彻底不想学了。鸦片战争之前的,至今仍然记不住中国朝代表,只误打误撞地背下了清朝的十任皇帝是“顺康雍乾嘉道咸同光宣”,这和...
评分这是一本很罕见的书,从一个角度给了偶全新的视觉。 历史本来就是一个过程,从一点到另一点的过程,它静静地躺在那里,有如一件一件物件背后阴影里的一只眼睛,静静地盯着地面阳光的流逝。 无论你喜欢还是不喜欢,无论那个时代是高尚还是堕落,它就在那里,不声不语。 因为如今...
其实把这本书作为大英博物馆的参观指南或者路线图有些不合适,因为所选的很多文物的价值其实在于“背后”,当然按图索骥如果能回忆起这些背后的故事也是很有收获的。看完最大的感慨就是专家和普通人的最大区别就在于这些“背后”的知识。建议直接看英文版,文字很好,也不太难懂。
评分100件物品都是大英博物馆馆藏,涨知识,而且文字非常简洁明了,就是篇幅比较长。偶尔有为西方殖民掠夺行为洗白倾向,所以要批判地阅读[酷]
评分读得很感动的科普书,用了俩月的时间断断续续读完,同时刷了两遍horrible histories前五季,最后的大合唱很能概括我对这本书的看法:we are history.
评分内容浅,结构散。更适合广播,每晚来一个小故事。
