DUBROVNIK: A HISTORY
Book ID/图书代码： 11908518C00023
English Summary/英文概要： Since emerging as a settlement in the seventh century, Dubrovnik held a significant position beyond what could have been expected of this tiny city-state. Its merchants, trading throughout the huge Ottoman Empire, enjoyed privileges denied to other Western states. A politically skilled and commercially enterprising ruling class took every opportunity to maximise the Republic’s wealth. Dubrovnik also faced the extreme dangers posed by Venetian aggressors, Ottoman plotters, a terrible earthquake in 1667 and, finally, the will of Napoleon. In 1991-92, the city survived the besieging Yugoslav army, which heavily damaged but did not destroy Dubrovnik’s cultural heritage. This book is a comprehensive history of Dubrovnik’s progress over twelve centuries of European development, encompassing arts, architecture, social and economic changes and the traumas of war and politics.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 自公元7世纪作为一个定居点出现以来，杜布罗夫尼克在这个小小城邦国家所处的地位便超出了人们的预期。那里的商人们在整个奥斯曼帝国开展贸易活动，享有其他西方国家所没有的特权。一个政治手段熟练、在商业上积极进取的统治阶级抓住一切机会，将共和国的财富最大化。杜布罗夫尼克还面临着威尼斯的侵略者、奥斯曼帝国的阴谋者、1667年可怕地震，以及拿破仑的意志所带来的极端危险。1991年至1992年，被围困的南斯拉夫军队严重破坏了杜布罗夫尼克的文化遗产，但杜布罗夫尼克却幸存了下来。本书记录了杜布罗夫尼克1200多年来的湘西历史，包括其艺术、建筑、社会和经济的变化以及战争和政治所带来的创伤。（LYR）
