罗马传
罗马,西方文明的起源地。歌德曾说:“看到罗马就看到了一切。”罗马被誉为世界最大的“露天历史博物馆”,古希腊式、巴洛克式、哥特式建筑……星罗棋布。阅读罗马建筑,残缺的艺术之美串联起古今罗马的发展史。
两千年时间与数米土层相隔的距离,遥望古罗马,朦胧而迷幻,维克托·松金摒除了这些障碍,透过意大利今日的样貌得见公元纪年前后蒸腾在这片土地上的最初生活,呈现了所有的残酷与伟大,奢华与繁杂。
本书跟随松金对“永恒之城”爱的步伐拜访歌德、拜伦、果戈理、狄更斯、马克•吐温,大师笔下的罗马,或思想深邃,或灵动鲜活。这不是一本简单的城市指南,超脱于你目之所及的建筑及景色,这座城市从神话时代建城起就充满传奇色彩,诸神的传说、勇士的决斗、战争的苍凉、权力的荣耀、文艺复兴的鼎盛,冲突却并存。

Hankow
This is the second volume of a two-volume social history of nineteenth-century Hankow, a city of over one million inhabitants and the commercial hub of central China. In the first volume, Hankow: Commerce and Society in a Chinese City, 1796-1889 (1984), the author emphasized the dynamism of late imperial commerce, the relation of the metropolis to its hinterland, and the corporate institutions of the city, notably its guilds, which assumed a number of functions we normally attribute to a municipal government. In this volume, the focus is on the people of Hankow, in all their ethnic diversity, occupational variety, and constant mobility, and on the social bonds that enabled this mass of people to live and work in a crowded city with much less disruptive social conflict than occurred in Hankow's counterparts in early modern Europe. Built into the argument of the book is a running comparison nineteenth-century Hankow with such cities as London and Paris in the somewhat earlier period when they, too, were experiencing the growing pains of nascent preindustrial capitalism. How are we to account for the fact that the cities of early modern Europe were so much more prone to protest and social upheaval than Hankow was in a comparable stage of development? The author finds the answer in the cultural hegemony of an activist elite that fostered moral consensus, social harmony, and an aura of solicitude for the well-being of residents at every social level, exemplified in such service institutions as poor relief, firefighting, and public security. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, however, the social bonds that had held Hankow together were beginning to fragment, as social polarization and growing class-consciousness fostered an atmosphere of increasing unrest. -
