Istanbul has long been a place where stories and histories collide, where perception is as potent as fact.
From the Koran to Shakespeare, this city with three names--Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul--resonates as an idea and a place, real and imagined. Standing as the gateway between East and West, North and South, it has been the capital city of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. For much of its history it was the very center of the world, known simply as "The City," but, as Bettany Hughes reveals, Istanbul is not just a city, but a global story.
In this epic new biography, Hughes takes us on a dazzling historical journey from the Neolithic to the present, through the many incarnations of one of the world's greatest cities--exploring the ways that Istanbul's influence has spun out to shape the wider world. Hughes investigates what it takes to make a city and tells the story not just of emperors, viziers, caliphs, and sultans, but of the poor and the voiceless, of the women and men whose aspirations and dreams have continuously reinvented Istanbul.
Written with energy and animation, award-winning historian Bettany Hughes deftly guides readers through Istanbul's rich layers of history. Based on meticulous research and new archaeological evidence, this captivating portrait of the momentous life of Istanbul is visceral, immediate, and authoritative--narrative history at its finest.
进入出版行业已经是第十个年头,真正开始找到做一个编辑的门径却不过二三年。《伊斯坦布尔三城记》是我并不太长的职业生涯中一本“困难”的书。当初以很高的代价买下这本书时,我以为自己将面临的最大挑战是送审、拿书号(耗时两年),翻译、编校70万字的世界史(三位编辑前后...
评分这本书,它和土耳其有什么关系,和这个世界有什么关系,和政局有什么关系,其实是我最不在意的事情。要靠这些来说服别人去读这本书,其实是基于一个假设:人们买东西是为了“有用”——而在这个时代这个用处务必是“实用”。但是这本书并不实用,因为它没有提供任何答案。作者...
评分如果让作家为城市代言,伊斯坦布尔最广为人知的代言人或是帕慕克。寻访帕慕克的伊斯坦布尔,不止于旅游手册里的海景、教堂、清真寺,还能欣赏细密画、啜饮小贩的钵扎、参观纯真博物馆。因细节而爱上一座城,会不会仍然失之主观呢? 在贝塔尼·休斯的《伊斯坦布尔三城记》卷首,...
评分没拿到书。就以豆瓣上有人贴出来的译文来做比较: 君士坦丁堡的创建者是一群以城市为据点的军人;伊斯坦布尔的创建者则 是游牧商人与战士。奥斯曼人了解道路法则,深谙保持沟通路线畅通与开放的 绝对重要性。奥斯曼人的统治被形容为“速度政治”(dromocracy)— 一个 道路强权,...

评分虽然最后升华主题的时候关于人类本性对于cosmopolitan value的追求有点牵强附会,还是觉得写的好好的一本这个城市的纪念。很少有城市有这么宏大又包容的史诗感,从古罗马到ottoman,到如今在东西方之间寻找并强化turk身份的游离状态,好美的故事,人类社会的一步步演化,我们的傲慢与偏见,贪婪与虚荣,梦想与野心,所有的人性都在这里被激发展现。异域的背景下其实这座城市离我们并没有想象中那么远。
评分1453年,西方世界就真正睡醒了,而且醒来以后的动作非常非常快。
