But you may be surprised to hear that the
Middle Ages were like a starry night. Let me explain.Have you ever
heard people talking about the Dark Ages? This is the name given
to the period which followed the collapse of the Roman empire
when very few people could read or write and hardly anyone knew
what was going on in the world. And because of this, they loved
telling each other all sorts of weird and wonderful tales and were
generally very superstitious. ‘Dark’, too, because houses in those
days were small and dark, and because the streets and highways
that the Romans had built had all fallen into decay and were overgrown
and their camps and cities had become grass-covered ruins.
The good Roman laws were forgotten and the beautiful Greek
statues had been smashed to pieces. All this is tr... (查看原文)

终于读完了这本15年购于台湾的繁体竖版书。作者用讲述者而非告知者的姿态书写这本小书,尤其是后记中还加入了个人经历,这种写自己经历过的历史确实也是一种很神奇的状态。台版书名这个“写给年轻人的”有点不太贴切,至于“简明”嘛,确实做到了“简洁”,对于三大宗教的概况一点点透了我。但“明了”恐怕还差点,所以给了四星。对于世界史这么庞大的话题,一定要有地图,最好是带时间轴的,从而统一时空的认知,这本书个别地方... 终于读完了这本15年购于台湾的繁体竖版书。作者用讲述者而非告知者的姿态书写这本小书,尤其是后记中还加入了个人经历,这种写自己经历过的历史确实也是一种很神奇的状态。台版书名这个“写给年轻人的”有点不太贴切,至于“简明”嘛,确实做到了“简洁”,对于三大宗教的概况一点点透了我。但“明了”恐怕还差点,所以给了四星。对于世界史这么庞大的话题,一定要有地图,最好是带时间轴的,从而统一时空的认知,这本书个别地方有,但还是太少,尤其是没有世界格局下的地图。对事件的定义,比如图尔战役、维也纳之战、普法战争、十月革命这些重要的milestone都没有出现名称,所以靠自己一路查一路学才终于读下来。读世界史最大的感受就是我们现在看到的现代国家和文明,在不久之前还是充满血与泪。最后,神圣罗马帝国真jb乱,一笔糊涂账。 (展开)

浅显但生动,真的适合年轻人(或青少年)读。
