图书描述

When the British wrested New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the truth about its thriving, polyglot society began to disappear into myths about an island purchased for 24 dollars and a cartoonish peg-legged governor. But the story of the Dutch colony of New Netherland was merely lost, not destroyed: 12,000 pages of its records–recently declared a national treasure–are now being translated. Drawing on this remarkable archive, Russell Shorto has created a gripping narrative–a story of global sweep centered on a wilderness called Manhattan–that transforms our understanding of early America.

The Dutch colony pre-dated the “original” thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic, and its citizens valued free trade, individual rights, and religious freedom. Their champion was a progressive, young lawyer named Adriaen van der Donck, who emerges in these pages as a forgotten American patriot and whose political vision brought him into conflict with Peter Stuyvesant, the autocratic director of the Dutch colony. The struggle between these two strong-willed men laid the foundation for New York City and helped shape American culture. The Island at the Center of the World uncovers a lost world and offers a surprising new perspective on our own.

很快翻了一遍，荷兰是今天美利坚国族的源头吗？至少在英国人进驻之前荷兰人就建立了新阿姆斯特丹，即后来的纽约。荷兰宗教自由和商业精神传承下来了，从这个意义上来说，比稍晚新英格兰的清教殖民地更能代表后来的美国，多元化的曼哈顿是美利坚当今最突出的特质。不过，当下的美国社会也是经历重重历史的历程形成的，多种族和族裔一起形成了美利坚的国民性，这样看，荷兰人是其中一股被遗忘而又重新发现的势力吧。
