1616: THE WORLD IN MOTION

Book ID/图书代码: 03371011B49655

English Summary/英文概要: A captivating glance into a revolutionary year in history with beautiful accompanying illustrations

The world of 1616 was a world of motion. enormous galleons carrying silk and silver across the Pacific created the first true global economy, and the first international megacorporations were emerging as economic pow-ers. In europe, the deaths of shakespeare and Cervantes marked the end of an era in literature, as the spirit of the Renaissance was giving way to new attitudes that would lead to the Age of Revolution. In east Asia, the last native Chinese dynasty was entering its final years and Japan was beginning its long period of warrior rule. Artists there, as in many parts of the world, were rethinking their connections to ancient traditions and experimenting with new directions. Women everywhere were redefining their roles in family and society. slave trading was relocating large numbers of people, while others were migrating in search of new opportunities.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 对历史上的革命一年迷人的一瞥,附漂亮的插图

1616年的世界是一个运动的世界。携带丝绸和银横跨太平洋的巨大帆船创造了第一个真正的全球经济,第一家国际大集团在经济力的推动下得以产生。在欧洲,莎士比亚和塞万提斯的死亡标志着一个文学时代的结束,作为文艺复兴时期的精神让位给新的态度,人类迎来了革命的时代。在东亚,最后一个土生土长的中国王朝已进入迟暮之年,日本开始其长期的武士精神规则。艺术家在世界许多地方,正在重新审视古老传统并试验的新方向。世界各地的妇女重新定义她们在家庭和社会的角色。奴隶贸易使得大量人口迁移,而其他移民则试图寻找新的机遇。(LNL & CK)

Awards/获奖情况:《1616》昨天获得《出版者周刊》精彩的评论。《出版者周刊》是最有影响力的四大预先评论的出版物(其他Kirkus评论,Booklist和图书馆期刊)每年评论10,000本书,并不是很多成为明星书籍。在图书出版业,《出版者周刊》的优秀评论,能增加媒体报道,书店和图书馆订单 - 我们会看到这点。同时,这是(我最感谢的)评论。本书将由 Counterpoint 出版社在3月出版。

首先,鉴于他作为一名翻译的背景(《像水一样的巧克力》,与卡罗尔克里斯滕森共同翻译),旧金山亚洲艺术博物馆出版物编辑和主任,克里斯滕森交代他缺乏写历史的学术涵养。不过,他通过对1616年度专题探索,创造了一个新的现代世界的惊人视角。克里斯滕森融合各种叙事手法,描述了私营机构增加的趋势,如荷兰东印度本公司,以及以作家身份描绘世界政治经济和妇女新兴声音——如Dorothy Leigh,其《母亲的祝福》一书翻译成23个国家的文字——和在经世致用的强有力参与者,像努尔汗,帮助她丈夫执政莫卧儿帝国。同时发生在狩猎和科学发现中,克里斯滕森指出,开普勒计算行星运动规律,也抵御他的目不识丁的草药家母亲,反对巫术收费。小心地涵盖来自世界各地的事件,不只是欧洲和美洲,克里斯滕森强化了出色的阐述和几十张美妙插图的背景设置。大部分读者会想跟踪地图集去追踪1616年的“运动着的世界”。(3月)
