你一定爱读的极简欧洲史
(australia) John Hurst Xi Yuping
"A Minimalist History of Europe You Will Love to Read" is a hot seller in Europe and the United States. The traditional Chinese version was published in April 2010, and it has ranked among the top 10 bestsellers in Taiwan's Eslite Bookstore Chain, Jinshitang Bookstore Chain, and Bloglai Online Bookstore for more than half a year. The well-known Australian historian John Hurst's fascinating exploration in "A Minimalist History of Europe You Will Love to Read (New Edition)" teases out for us the various qualities of European civilization that can change the world. The author begins with three major elements: ancient Greek and Roman culture, Christian doctrine, and Germanic warrior culture, and describes how these three elements strengthened and opposed each other, and ultimately formed the core of European civilization. They then gave birth to empires and city-states over many centuries, inspired conquests and crusades, and created many characters with distinct personalities - such as benevolent emperors, aggressive popes, chivalrous knights, and even the first citizens in the world to enjoy the fruits of prosperity and enlightenment.
