Jonathan D. Spence was born in Surrey, England, in 1936. He was educated at Winchester College and at Cambridge University and received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1965. He is George Burton Adams Professor of HIstory at Yale, where he is also chairman of the Council on East Asian Studies and director of the Division of the Humanities.
Award-winning author Jonathan D. Spence paints a vivid picture of an obscure place and time: provincial China in the seventeenth century. Life in the northeastern county of T'an-ch'eng emerges here as an endless cycle of floods, plagues, crop failures, banditry, and heavy taxation. Against this turbulent background a tenacious tax collector, an irascible farmer, and an unhappy wife act out a poignant drama at whose climax the wife, having run away from her husband, returns to him, only to die at his hands. Magnificently evoking the China of long ago, The Death of Woman Wang also deepens our understanding of the China we know today.
如果有人有兴趣,可以做一项研究:一个作家或学者某本著作大获成功后,紧接着的下一本著作与前者的关系。多少内在元素沿用,多少得意之处发扬光大,其中又有多少是自觉行为,多少是因别人的赞美而于不自觉中兴奋地重复。 我是读《 王氏之死 》时想到以上问题的。作者史景迁原...
評分人说最好的文字形式,莫过于小说。一本王氏读来,正是众生相的代名。 农妇王氏,放之于清代、郯县、天灾地震、苛捐杂税、邪教迭起、家庭不睦等因素之下。其与一不可靠男子出奔,渴求从龌蹉压抑的生活里开出一道自由之路,却只是遭受到与之前同样的万恶嘴脸,清贫人间。...
評分 評分[本文为《财经界 管理学家》杂志所撰。] 无论如何以平等的眼光去看待,最底层的被管理者永远处在卑微的位置,他们的欲望和想法是管理者也许永远无法真正把握的;而了解与把握它,对于一个基层的管理者来说,又是必需的。 假如你是一名环境保护主义者,或者你的专业是职业健康...
評分事情发生于三百多年之前(1668-1672),在山东郯城有一个妇人王氏,抛弃了她的丈夫任某和情夫出逃。逃亡途中,王氏被情夫抛弃,只能一个人孤零零地回到距郯城县城西南八英里左右的家乡。由于在当时私通及私奔都是不小的罪名,她不能回家,寄居在离家不远的一个道观里,却被以...
對平凡個體生命的專注描寫,使得曆史變的性格富有和偉大起來。
评分"Whether judged as fiction or as historical reconstruction, [this] is a masterpiece of style and narration." (Harold Bloom) 我覺得這個評論很有意思
评分本科的時候囫圇讀過。那時還是個沉浸於實驗的理科生,每天的煩惱無外乎“又沾瞭一身大白鼠的血腥氣,樓貓甜橙怕是又不要理我瞭”。讀來全做娛樂。這一次讀,從“They would have been cold, for the mean temperature in Shantung during January was in the twenties, and the houses of the poor were frail...”便開始鼻子發酸。Different people have different standards to measure what is a good historian. To me, this is. 對人類跨越時代的同理心。
评分纔情皆備,構思巧妙。前一百頁就預示著王氏必死,她卻在最後纔悄然而至,還又匆促離去。
评分史景遷通過主要對《郯城縣誌》和《聊齋誌異》的重構,描寫郯城小人物在飢荒兵亂苛稅之下的漂流命運,絕大部分貌似虛構的細節都有嚴謹的曆史齣處。用大清律做法律解釋,對俺的畢業論文有嚴重藉鑒作用,
