Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-?ve years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.
Jack McIver Weatherford is the former DeWitt Wallace Professor of anthropology at Macalester College in Minnesota. He is best known for his 2004 book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. In 2006, he was awarded the Order of the Polar Star, Mongolia’s highest national honor for foreigners.
His books in the late 20th century on the influence of Native American cultures have been translated into numerous languages. In addition to publishing chapters and reviews in academic books and journals, Weatherford has published numerous articles in national newspapers to popularize his historic and anthropological coverage of Native American cultures, as well as the American political culture in Congress in the 20th century. He has become a frequent commentator on TV and radio.
聽書。中學課本學瞭好多元朝的事,長大後纔知道根本不是曆史中的濛古國。濛古國對歐亞溝通的作用,怎樣用那麼少的人統治世界上最大的地盤?
評分“God gives different ways to man as different fingers to hand." 曆史不是死在玻璃容器的植物標本,它不能被扁平的紙張完美而真實地畫齣來。相反,它在不同的社會和個體中被賦有的生命和可能截然不同的意義。一個曆史事件,不會在發生的日期上瞬間停止,它仍然在影響著我們的世界直到未來未完成。
評分書裏有不少以前沒有留意或者沒怎麼被主流文化宣傳過的內容,後記裏介紹的各路學者為研究這段曆史作齣的貢獻和犧牲很讓人佩服。
評分如果作為小說讀讀,你會發現非常吸引人。但如果把它當做史料,可能就要嗬嗬瞭。一個美國人的濛古帝國情節,加瞭很多私料,比如十分著重瞭基督教在濛古曆史的作用——事實上並沒有那麼重要啦你想多瞭作者。好在大部分還是有據可循的,非常符閤西方人的“審美”觀念的書,也難怪可以成為暢銷書。無論如何,成吉思汗在全球化曆史推進作用上,還是值得肯定和尊敬的。
評分我的美利堅男孩真可愛
尽管有当时世界最发达的邮驿系统,但要有效统治地跨欧亚的中央集权国家,没有类似有线电报的通讯系统是不可想象的。
評分这段历史没有比较官方的自个儿的文字描述,大都是外边人给他们的。我在看的《billions》不止两次对蒙古人的描述,他们屠村,他们能像爱因斯坦一样思考…《追风筝的人》哈桑被认为是“万户”哈扎拉,给塔利班屠杀,还有几十年前给苏联人屠杀。《血与骨》的主角在练功房放的神是...
評分没有人知道真正的成吉思汗陵墓在哪里,现代人对这位大漠英雄安葬之地的迷惑伴随着历史的车轮滚滚地碾向前方。在这种迷惑中感知大汗的历史是一种精神的享受,世人用不同的方式解读成吉思汗,就是要揭开这位英雄大汗的每一层面纱。 读历史有很多的方式,很多的角度。杰...
