Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.
另类的罗马史 先解释书名。SPQR是一个简称,Senātus Populusque Rōmānus,元老院与罗马人民。元老院和公民大会是罗马共和国最著名的政治结构,所以SPQR往往直接指代“罗马共和国”。 玛丽·比尔德的《SPQR》是一部看起来很另类的罗马史。 首先它不是按照时间顺序写的。SPQR...
评分历史学家夏曾佑认为: 中国之有周人,犹泰西之有希腊。 这句话说明了周和希腊分别奠定了中西文化的基础。 如此更可以说: 中国之有秦汉,犹泰西之有罗马。 秦汉与罗马奠定中西的政治体制。 古罗马简称SPQR,是拉丁语Senatus Populusque Romanus的缩写,意思为罗马元老院与人民...
评分当下出版市场上,由专业历史学者撰写的通俗历史读物,一直颇受读者欢迎。然而一个令人深思的现象是,这类书籍的作者大部分是外国人,从前几年畅销的日本讲谈社中国历史丛书,到近些年国内甲骨文工作室策划的一系列世界史书目,都能说明这个问题。无论是否愿意承认,中国学者多...
评分本書自2015年發售以來,一直都在亞馬遜的暢銷榜上蟬聯,分數也都高居不下,令人想不注意也難。我是等到了價格比較親民的平裝版問世了,才捨得下手。Mary Beard這個名字其實在之前我就已經認識,我在Youtube上偶然看了她替BBC拍的紀錄片:“Meet the Romans”就印象深刻。之後我...
【谁能送我一本中文版呢QAQ】可能也就是罗马史这种大家耳熟能详的时代,才能写成这么这个深度的普及作品吧。以及这种书肯定不能让做罗马政治史的人写,不然就太无聊了XDDDD
评分正在读,先马一下
评分SPQR:元老院与罗马人民。剑桥大学Mary Beard教授讲述了从罗穆卢斯的王国时期到帝国时期的卡拉卡拉敕令之间接近千年的政治史演变。从小白的角度来看,作者对罗马史主流叙事的一些质疑有理有据。
评分5-0.5 很勉强,4.5更合适。名气是这本书最大的拖累,必然失望。可能是最近读到的最不好看的史政类原文。 第一本mary beard,感觉文笔不够好,努力往下够以至上下够不着。诚然好书,却不知道写给谁的,显然不适合罗马史第一本,知道一点的又要嫌段子多。观点是有的,而且很有启发性,只是密度低,改薄两百页可能会好看很多。 强烈推荐mary beard BBC罗马前后两套共七集,寓教于乐,精巧炫酷。 再次印证偏见,一般特能说的,写的就不要太抱希望。
评分买买买。再买一件印有SPQR的卫衣还有体恤衫! 这就很罗马了
