"An indisputable classic of the new historiography - a compact encyclopedia for understanding the historical evolution of French civilization and culture!
新史学无可争辩的经典著作,一部了解法兰西文明和文化的历史演变的小百科全书!
Hailed by academia as a classic of the ""new historiography,"" this book is a masterpiece that combines passion, erudition, and a deep command of historical sources. First published in 1958, it has been reprinted numerous times and translated into multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, and Japanese. Its narrative spans from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, encompassing history, politics, economy, culture, literature, philosophy, religion, art, science, and technology, presenting readers with a France that is both rich and free, romantic and rigorous.
The book's purpose is not to list historical events or replicate textbook narratives but to adopt a new historical perspective to reveal the true trajectory of French civilization's evolution over more than a millennium, as well as the intrinsic relationships among the many cultural factors that have shaped France and the French character over the centuries.
本书被学界推崇为"新史学"的经典著作之一,是一部集热忱、博学和充分掌握史料于一体的杰作。自1958年出版以来,多次再版,先后被译成英文、西班牙文、意大利文、波兰文、匈牙利文和日文等多种语言。本书的叙述起于中世纪,止于20世纪,容纳了历史、政治、经济、文化、文学、哲学、宗教、艺术和科学技术等领域,一个丰富又自由、浪漫又严谨的法国被呈现到了读者面前。
本书目的不在于罗列历史事件,或者重复教科书中的文字,而是以新的历史视角展示千余年来真正的法国文明演进的轨迹,以及数世纪来塑造了法兰西和法兰西民族特质的诸多文化因素间的内在关系。
