"Like everything else written by Jonathan Spence, The Chan's Great Continent is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in China. Spence is one of the greatest Sinologists of our time, and his work is both authoritative and highly readable." — Los Angeles Times Book Review China has transfixed the West since the earliest contacts between these civilizations. With his characteristic elegance and insight, Jonathan Spence explores how the West has understood China over seven centuries. Ranging from Marco Polo's own depiction of China and the mighty Khan, Kublai, in the 1270s to the China sightings of three twentieth-century writers of acknowledged genius-Kafka, Borges, and Calvino-Spence conveys Western thought on China through a remarkable array of expression. Peopling Spence's account are Iberian adventurers, Enlightenment thinkers, spinners of the dreamy cult of Chinoiserie, and American observers such as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Ezra Pound, and Eugene O'Neill. Taken together, these China sightings tell us as much about the self-image of the West as about China. "Wonderful. . . . Spence brilliantly demonstrates [how] generation after generation of Westerners [have] asked themselves, 'What is it . . . that held this astonishing, diverse, and immensely populous land together?' "-- New York Times Book Review

以马可波罗为代表的一些作家、商人、士兵、传教士、传教士家属在机缘巧合下来到中国,他们用自己的亲身经历和臆想对中国的风土人情、经济、社会制度、军事等进行了一番描述。他们自己承认,他们的描述中很多是虚构和夸张的,有些只是为了表达对自己国家的一些制度和规则的不满...
評分张耐冬/文 据说钱钟书先生在回绝一位读了他的书之后想要登门拜访的读者时说:如果你吃了一只鸡蛋觉得味美,何必要认识那只下蛋的鸡呢?对 于单独的个体来说,受其惠确实不必识其人,个人也有选择不被认识的自由。而且,在“是否应该被认识”之外,还有“是否能够被认识”...
評分内容质量与水准不像介绍而言的那么好,基本上可以认为是乔纳森氏读研究生的读书笔记而已。将西方对中华的认知做了一个大略的梳理,insight并不太多,而且这种梳理也不是非常完整。大概乔氏本人的兴趣相关,所选书目,学术性的汉学典籍并不多,多是一些散文与文学性的描述文字。...
評分 評分标题有趣。“在13世纪的马可波罗笔下,当时是可汗统治着这个传说中的国度。而在哥伦布的心中,可汗一直是中国的统治者。”所以标题“大汗之国”,一定程度上说明西方人眼里的神秘东方,仿佛还在大汗统治的年代。在马可•波罗时代,西方人对中国的印象基本是道听途说,以讹传...
