图书描述

To modern sensibilities, nineteenth-century zoos often seem to be unnatural places where animals led miserable lives in cramped, wrought-iron cages. Today zoo animals, in at least the better zoos, wander in open spaces that resemble natural habitats and are enclosed, not by bars, but by moats, cliffs, and other landscape features. In Savages and Beasts, Nigel Rothfels traces the origins of the modern zoo to the efforts of the German animal entrepreneur Carl Hagenbeck.

By the late nineteenth century, Hagenbeck had emerged as the world's undisputed leader in the capture and transport of exotic animals. His business included procuring and exhibiting indigenous peoples in highly profitable spectacles throughout Europe and training exotic animals -- humanely, Hagenbeck advertised -- for circuses around the world. When in 1907 the Hagenbeck Animal Park opened in a village near Hamburg, Germany, Hagenbeck brought together all his business interests in a revolutionary zoological park. He moved wild animals out of their cages and into "natural landscapes" alongside "primitive" peoples from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the islands of the Pacific. Hagenbeck had invented a new way of imagining captivity: the animals and people on exhibit appeared to be living in the wilds of their native lands.

By looking at Hagenbeck's multiple enterprises, Savages and Beasts demonstrates how seemingly enlightened ideas about the role of zoos and the nature of animal captivity developed within the essentially tawdry business of placing exotic creatures on public display. Rothfels provides both fascinating reading and much-needed historical perspective on the nature of our relationship with the animal kingdom.

因为前阵子宁波动物园的事件一时兴起去看的书，写得挺有意思的。故事基本集中在Carl Hagenbeck身上，讲他的animals trade, people shows, 以及zoological gardens. 看完之后总觉得书的大标题savages and beasts取得有点偏 - isn't the book almost a biography of Hagenbeck? 另外，看这本书的时候我想到了小时候在奎山公园里有人摆牌子说可以参观美女蛇。我当时攥着刚拿到的压岁钱真的很想去看，但是又因为害怕那蛇身人头的生物所以没有去看过。现在还是很好奇，ta们是真的吗？

围绕 Carl Hagenbeck的动物生意展开的介绍，在这个基础上，现代动物园的（建筑和文化景观的）前世既包括美景宫这样的皇家园林，也融合了马戏团、流动大篷车和亚非欧商品贸易等社会历史变化，动物的跨洲际运输也和其他商品（如树胶、油等）贸易互补。动物的捕猎和收集对上层贵族而言是权力与知识的满足和展示，对社会大众而言是野蛮到文明的展示和习得。对早期动物园也没必要抱着太大的恶意，因为今天所谓的通过动物园去宣传科学、环境等观念，早在一百年前就有了，而作者也指出对于 Carl 这样的大商人而言，他是真心热爱他的动物和people show（不是把他们当动物展示而是当人类，当然这也是有争议的）。
