具体描述
Beauty is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times. In terms of form and style, Beauty has been conceived for a vast and diversified readership: taking in painting, sculpture, architecture, film, photography, the decorative arts, novels and poems, it offers a rich and intelligent panorama of this huge subject. It traces the philosophy of aesthetics through history and examines some of the many treatises that have sought to define it. Beauty is Umberto Eco at his most captivating and eclectic: we read not only of Botticelli and Michelangelo but of how the fashion of the 1960s owes much to ancient Egyptian dress, and how ancient Roman and eighteenth-century hairstyles have much in common. It makes the familiar new, and sheds a brilliant new light on the unfamiliar. Illustrated in full colour throughout and produced to the highest standards, Beauty is an indispensable book.

读后感
这本书本身是一本非常好的书，让我对西方美学历史有比较全面和真切的理解。 翻译者，我想，也是希望用“配得上”如此重要著作的词汇和句法来翻译出那种厚重和深刻。可是，似乎有点儿过犹不及了。阅读的过程中经常会被一些艰涩的词汇和古怪的句法阻挡，放缓阅读速度。
评分起初看得出发点，是为了学着欣赏那些伟大艺术家流传下的不朽作品。 那些油画，雕塑，国画，音乐为什么历百年仍让人着迷？ 这书有几个好： 一是铜版纸彩印，很多经典作品图稿，细观可得皮毛感受；但缺点就是没有针对每幅作品的赏析介绍。 二作者知识渊博旁征博引蔚为壮观，的确...
评分《美的历史》先写于《丑的历史》，但为满足我个人的猎奇心理，先看的《丑的历史》。《美的历史》相较于《丑的历史》，材料更为充足，文风更加严肃，作者的主观情感降为零，是一本非常冷峻的史书。而主题“美”，也比“丑”，更为受到正统和大众的关注，因此无论是流派，还是作...
评分摘录并体会既是学习，也是刺激。 关于小——我们拜服我们敬佩之物，而喜爱向我们拜服之物。前者为崇高，后者寓于小。“又大又美”极少这样说，“又大又丑”十分常用。简言之，崇高与美丽基础差异极大，两者很难并见同一物体，两者若要并存，一定要减少其中之一对我们激情的影...
评分美是什么？环肥燕瘦都是美，现代机器也可以很美，铁与玻璃也是新的美，怪物也可能是某一时代以美丽观点刻画出来的。闻名国际的意大利小说家安伯托‧艾可编著的第一部图文书《美的历史》，对亘古迄今多元的、各种的美，深入整理与阐述，告诉大家，今天的审美世界是宽容、综纳...
