ROME

Book ID/图书代码： 10963020C00002

English Summary/英文概要： Andrew Leach s Rome is the first book in Polity s exciting new Cities in World History series, which aims to provide the general reader and traveller with historically informed companions to the world s greatest cities. Most city guides are good on practical details but very thin when it comes to recounting the histories of cities and contextualizing the buildings and sites for which they are famous. These new books from Polity bridge the gulf between guide and history by offering concise and accessible accounts written by some of the world s leading historians. Rome has a history unmatched in richness by any city on the globe. It looms large in the word s cultural imagination, and for millennia it has been a meeting point of great cultures, a place where myth mixes freely with history, leaving neither unscathed. In this compact history, Leach demonstrates what most visitors to the Eternal City will instinctively understand: that the buildings, streets, monuments and gardens of this ancient city give the visitor moments of direct communion with its past. He reveals the long, twisting history of Rome through its ruins, art works and monuments, its metro stations and modern apartment blocks. Each chapter takes the reader on a physical journey invoking Rome in different moments of its life. Engaging historical narrative is supplemented with maps and photos, making Rome an indispensable companion for those who want to dig below the city s surface.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 安德鲁•里奇的《罗马》是第一本在世界历史系列政治令人兴奋的新城市，旨在为大众读者和旅行者提供历史的伙伴，世界上最伟大的城市。大多数城市指南都很擅长实际的细节，但在叙述城市历史和将其著名的建筑和地点放在背景上时却很贫乏。这些来自政体的新书通过提供一些世界著名历史学家写的简明易懂的描述，在指南和历史之间架起了一座桥梁。罗马拥有世界上任何一个城市都无法比拟的丰富历史。千百年来，它一直是各大文化的交汇点，神话与历史在这里自由交融，没有哪一种文化毫发无损。在这段紧凑的历史中，里奇向我们展示了大多数来到这座永恒之城的游客会本能地理解的东西: 这座古城的建筑、街道、纪念碑和花园给了游客与它的过去直接交流的时刻。他通过罗马的废墟、艺术作品和纪念碑、地铁站和现代公寓楼，揭示了罗马漫长而曲折的历史。每一章都带领读者踏上一段有形的旅程，在不同的时刻唤起罗马的回忆。引人入胜的历史叙述辅以地图和照片，使罗马成为那些想要挖掘城市表面以下的人不可或缺的伙伴。（WYL)

"In this unconventional and sagely written guide to Rome, Andrew Leach captures the pulsating memory that is embodied in the history of Rome and its urban scene, and the mixture of the sublime and the trivial that are somehow inextricably united in this great theatre of the world." Maristella Casciato, Getty Research Institute "This is an ambitious and exhilarating introduction to three millennia of the city’s history. The reader is taken on a non-stop journey from the boundary drawn by Romulus to the curves of Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI, encountering Rome’s main characters and its most famous buildings along the way." Pippo Ciorra, University of Camerino
