作者简介

Jack McIver Weatherford is the former DeWitt Wallace Professor of anthropology at Macalester College in Minnesota. He is best known for his 2004 book, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. In 2006, he was awarded the Order of the Polar Star, Mongolia’s highest national honor for foreigners.

内容简介

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-?ve years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.

    如果说杉山正明是蒙古—世界情结在日本学界的化身,Weatherford则可谓这一情结在英文世界的领路人?基本上将成吉思汗和蒙古势力视为了连通欧亚、形成欧亚大陆文明政治板块(如果有这种东西的话)和亚洲接入世界史的最重要一步11-01

    听书。中学课本学了好多元朝的事,长大后才知道根本不是历史中的蒙古国。蒙古国对欧亚沟通的作用,怎样用那么少的人统治世界上最大的地盘?10-24

    基于多年的实地考察和文献研究,作者驳斥了那种普遍存在的只强调蒙古帝国对其所占领的欧亚文明所带来毁灭性打击的观点,仔细检验了成吉思汗及其子孙所建立的横跨东亚、南亚、中东、俄罗斯与东欧的蒙古帝国的功绩:极大地促进了东西方文明的交流,自由贸易区和区域性货币的建立,宗教自由的引入,跨国人才的任命,对酷刑的废除等,并在经济基础与上层建筑双方面促进了西欧文艺复兴的发轫。同时也将成吉思汗从神坛和王座上拉下来,还原为一个有血有肉有感情的儿子、丈夫和父亲。12-22

    超不嚴肅軼事錦集。第一部分講的就是射雕英雄傳裡的劇情...... 10-26
