A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China.
The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure.
This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.
具體描述
讀後感
在中国，对于太平天国的这段历史，已经被官方有导向性的教育和民间野史演绎得太多，难辨真假。洪秀全从历史课本上的民族英雄到丧心病狂的神经病患者，让人觉得可笑而可悲。 刚开始读时，很喜欢作者流畅的文字，对于史料研究的详实，切入点的独特，尤其是观点的客观。然而越往后...
評分 評分与太平天国相关的书，堪称汗牛充栋，多一本少一本，似乎已不再重要，在这个熟题材上想写出新意来，几乎不可能。 但，裴士锋告诉我们，其实还有完全不同的新视角，那就是从国际政治来看太平天国：太平天国与美国南北战争有什么关系？洪仁玕为什么要写不大可能执行的《资政新篇...
評分很喜欢作者的叙事风格，宏大、人物命运相互交错，但结语一章写的真不怎么样。我并不认为作者在用美国的内战与中国的内战作比较，而是在说明，如果没有爆发美国南北战争，淮军可能不会降临上海，戈登可能不会帮李鸿章攻下苏州，英国如果能一直保持中立，那太平天国一方可能不会...

用戶評價
好扯啊......
评分是寫給凡事大驚小怪的美國普通讀者的，不必期待過高。不過寫的還是不錯，尤其是第11章。
评分把英文版和中文版對照著讀瞭一遍，可以負責任地說：不用看英文版瞭，中文版的文字比英文版更好，一些古詩詞等翻迴中文後纔有意境，看英文反而有隔靴搔癢的感覺。
评分這感覺已經不對
评分非凡的敘事功力和活靈活現的文筆讀來一氣嗬成，拿起很難放下。內容方麵最獨到的還是對英國當時的決策如何影響瞭太平天國的走勢，從而也決定瞭中國之後的命運。觸及的人物眾多，作者寥寥數筆就能讓人物躍然紙上，且每個人物都挖掘到一定深度，不得不佩服其寫作功力。
