书籍简介
一部令人振奋的百科全书式的历史，从神秘到熟悉的细节都很丰富......是一次名副其实的力量之旅'理查德-奥维，《企鹅欧洲史7·竞逐权力》最好的跨国历史......。
社会、政治和文化主题在一幅巨大的画布上交织在一起，细节丰富，美不胜收。——Gerard DeGroot，《泰晤士报》
令人眼花缭乱的博学和娱乐——Dominic Sandbrook，《星期日泰晤士报》
这是一部杰作，将一个异常动荡和戏剧性的革命变革时代展现在人们面前。《企鹅欧洲史7·竞逐权力》借鉴了他一生对19世纪欧洲的思考，为一个正在经历剧烈变革的大陆绘制了一幅异常丰富、令人惊讶和有趣的全景图。本书旨在重新唤起弥漫在这个非凡时代的惊奇感，因为统治者和被统治者都在驾驭巨大的文化、政治和技术变革。
在这个时代，被视为现代的东西以惊人的速度出现在人们面前，巨大的城市在一代人的时间里兴起，新的欧洲国家被创造出来，人类第一次可以在数千英里之外几乎即时沟通。在以滑铁卢战役和第一次世界大战爆发为界的时期，欧洲以前所未有的方式主宰着世界其他地区：本书通过展示欧洲大陆如何塑造，以及如何被其与全球其他地区的互动所塑造，实现了新的突破。理查德-埃文斯全面探讨了标志着19世纪的革命、帝国建设和战争，但该书涉及的内容更多，无论是疾病、农奴制、宗教还是哲学。
《企鹅欧洲史7·竞逐权力》是一位处于巅峰状态的历史学家的作品：对于任何试图了解欧洲的人来说，无论是当时还是现在，都是必不可少的。
'A scintillating, encyclopaedic history, rich in detail from the arcane to the familiar... a veritable tour de force' Richard Overy, New Statesman'Transnational history at its finest ... ..
social, political and cultural themes swirl together in one great canvas of immense detail and beauty' Gerard DeGroot, The Times'Dazzlingly erudite and entertaining' Dominic Sandbrook, The Sunday TimesA masterpiece which brings to life an extraordinarly turbulent and dramatic era of revolutionary change. The Pursuit of Power draws on a lifetime of thinking about nineteenth-century Europe to create an extraordinarily rich, surprising and entertaining panorama of a continent undergoing drastic transformation. The book aims to reignite the sense of wonder that permeated this remarkable era, as rulers and ruled navigated overwhelming cultural, political and technological changes.
It was a time where what was seen as modern with amazing speed appeared old-fashioned, where huge cities sprang up in a generation, new European countries were created and where, for the first time, humans could communicate almost instantly over thousands of miles. In the period bounded by the Battle of Waterloo and the outbreak of World War I, Europe dominated the rest of the world as never before or since: this book breaks new ground by showing how the continent shaped, and was shaped by, its interactions with other parts of the globe. Richard Evans explores fully the revolutions, empire-building and wars that marked the nineteenth century, but the book is about so much more, whether it is illness, serfdom, religion or philosophy.
The Pursuit of Power is a work by a historian at the height of his powers: essential for anyone trying to understand Europe, then or now.
