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.

    后半部分有意思,成吉思汗和后代的事情,一个典型的行万里路的人的表现。从下等奴隶,以神的召唤,以杀戮的方式碾压所有反对,成吉思汗本身是很frugal的人,也不会强迫他人的意识形式和习俗,越往后代走,各种不同,有逼中东穆斯林把猪仔养大吃猪肉的,元朝把商人地位提高到官人之后,把孔夫子学家弄到prostitute之后,大量提高了贸易,最后也遇到了鼠疫打破贸易,纸币完全贬值,而且完全没知道是皇太后们职权全世界最大的国家十年之久,还是比较有趣的读物。2022-04-29

    书里有不少以前没有留意或者没怎么被主流文化宣传过的内容,后记里介绍的各路学者为研究这段历史作出的贡献和牺牲很让人佩服。2019-11-02
