Book ID/图书代码： 09220014B74678

English Summary/英文概要： The abandoned Mary Celeste is mysteriously found drifting in the mid-Atlantic; Mozart is buried in an unmarked communal grave; and Prohibition in America is brought to an end. Although separated by centuries, these events all share the same anniversary: 5 December. On This Day in History looks back at all 365 days of the year and provides short, riveting entries on the most significant events in history that occurred on that day. One single day could see Alexander the Great cozying up to Winston Churchill and Fidel Castro, or Cleopatra could find herself sharing a page with Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gandhi.

This book traverses continents and timelines to give its own unique perspective on these historical events. A wide variety of familiar and lesser-known events are represented, providing fascinating facts that are guaranteed both to educate and entertain any history enthusiast.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 遗弃的玛丽•西莱斯特号被神奇地发现漂浮在大西洋中部；莫扎特被葬在一座无名的公墓；美国禁酒令终于通过。尽管这些事件之间相隔数个世纪，但他们却共享着同一个纪念日：12月5日。《历史上的今天》将带领我们回顾一年中的365天，并为我们提供发生在每一天的重要历史事件简短而有趣的介绍。在同一天中，你会发现亚历山大大帝和温斯顿•丘吉尔以及菲德尔•卡斯特罗扯上了关系，又或者埃及艳后会发现自己与亚伯拉罕•林肯以及马哈特马•甘地出现在了同一页纸上。

本书跨越大陆和时间轴，让我们得以从另一个独特的观点和视角去观察这些历史事件。同时本书不仅将呈现大量我们所熟知的事件，也将为我们展示那些较为鲜为人知的史实，如果你是一名历史爱好者，那么本书所提供的那些精彩事件不仅极具教育意义，同时也将颇具娱乐性。(DC)
