具体描述
"Herfsttij der Middeluwen", or "The Autumn of the Middle Ages" - the original title - is a portrait of life thought, and art in 14th and 15th century France and the Netherlands. For Huizinga, this period marked not the birth of a dramatically new era in history, the Renaissance, but the fullest, ripest phase of medieval life and thought. Now, for the first time ever, the original version of this classic work has been translated into English. In the 1924 translation, Fritz Hopman adapted, reduced, and altered the Dutch edition - softening Huizinga's often passionate arguments, dulling his nuances, and eliminating passages. He also rearranged and redivided chapters, dropped references, and introduced mistranslations. This edition is free of such errors, recreating the second Dutch edition - which represents Huizinga's thinking at its most important stage - as closely as possible. Everything has been restored. Prose quotations appear in French, with translations printed at the bottom of the page. Mistranslations have been corrected. Payton and Mammitzsch also have added helpful material, including Huizinga's preface to the first and the second Dutch editions (1919 and 1921) and the one to the 1924 German translation. Several notes clarify Huizinga's references to things which would be common knowledge only to Dutch readers, Huizinga frequently refers to paintings, sculptures, and carvings, some little known; this edition also includes full range of illustrations.

读后感
最初,被这本书的书名所吸引,希望能够在书中欣赏到一幅典雅而凄婉的中世纪文化的画卷。作者的序言中写道:“本书撰写过程中,我把目光瞄准深邃的夜空,铅色的黑云笼罩天穹,满目凄凉血红的夜幕高高在上,仿佛是紫铜色的闪光。”读到这样的句子,不免更是心向往之,深信...
《中世纪的衰落》是著名荷兰历史学家赫伊津哈的著作。原著是荷兰语,有两个中译本,分别译自两本不同的英译本。第一本是1997年中国美术学院出版社出版的《中世纪的衰落》,译自The Waning of the Middle Ages,这本书由赫伊津哈的同事和朋友弗里兹•霍普曼翻译,但是在翻译中...
1412年,巴黎泥泞的大街上游行队伍庞大庄严,贵族与乞丐无异,大人和孩子同行。所有人都光着脚,饿着肚子,人们呼天抢地,挥泪如雨,洋溢着无尽虔诚。这样的游行持续了三个月,这期间,大雨下个不停…… 类似这样来自民间的文献记述在《中世纪的秋天》中被广泛引证。因为,赫伊...
翻译不是很好,首先注释没有多少,这对于一个介绍完全异质文化的书可不是一个好习惯。 明显的翻译错误我看到有两条:一个是把Joan of Arc翻译成阿克的约安,而不是更常见的贞德。 如果说这个错误无关大局的话,那么另一个错误就不能容忍了。另一个是把realism给翻译成了现实...
