The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westwards on its axis, it now turns to the east.
For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture - and is shaping the modern world.
This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won - and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again.
A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.
在学校里面学历史,学的都是成王败寇的故事,哪个朝代被推翻了,哪个朝代成立了,哪个伟大的君主做了什么伟大的事情,哪个国家发明了什么,历史,好像就是随着这件件宏大的事情组成的。 然而,这样的历史真的很无聊,那些成王败寇的故事早就随风散去,那些伟大的人物早就灰飞烟...

评分这本书的优点在于方法论上面上面,不再限于国别而是使用了每个时期的主体文明潮流作为一种主题去研究,所以虽然具体史料细节上并没有特别亮眼惊人的地方,但是作为入门级历史读物在整体思路上是比较优秀的。 人类文明史的革新也可以被看做是文明组织形式的方法论的革新,率先...
评分历史书一般都有一个清晰地脉络或者线索。一个事件或一个人物或沿着时间顺序扩展开来,我们看到的经典中便有纪传体,编年体,国别体,通史,断代史等等。而彼得.弗兰科潘写的这本沉甸甸的《丝绸之路》,很难严格用传统的体裁来定义,说它是一本全新的世界史确实一点不为过。...
评分“丝绸之路”是指起始于古代中国,连接亚洲、非洲和欧洲的古代陆上商业贸易路线。“丝绸之路”有广义和狭义之分。广义上的“丝绸之路”分为陆上丝绸之路和海上丝绸之路;狭义上的丝绸之路一般指陆上丝绸之路。 陆上丝绸之路起源于汉武帝派张骞出使西域,形成其基本干道。它以...
不喜欢围绕主题写历史的方式,建议自干五可以看看~
评分前半部分还挺有意思的,尤其是讲到了欧亚文明是如何互相影响的。快进到20世纪后就和丝绸之路没有太多关系变成了近代史。最后回归到政策上显得太心有余而力不足。
评分感觉人物地名和线索繁多的历史书不合适听,如果有时间找来慢慢看也行收获会多些。
评分读的时候会觉得欧美帝国主义好虚伪呀,他们的财富来源好不光彩呀,需要的时候奴隶啦鸦片啦武器啦都是正当的贸易 。但他们不会禁止自己人写这样的书,任其畅销,不得不说是了不起的帝国主义。
评分英国伊朗石油纷争那里花了好大力气感觉太费笔墨了
