★史学泰斗、“汉学诺贝尔奖”儒莲奖得主 知人论世力作
★皇帝 名臣 财阀 儒家 文人 画家 盗贼……
★以司马迁之磅礴笔力，重现历史叙述的摄人心魄
★读懂中国史，从读懂这些人开始
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
以深厚的史学功底为基础，以独特的视角、生动的文风，对中国古代史上“最有料”的人物之魅力、功罪和时代进行描绘，抽丝剥茧般的分析与想象力飞扬的叙事融合无间，重现了司马迁以降摄人心魄的历史叙述。
宫崎市定毕生致力于中国史的研究与教学，治学方法与中国“知人论世”的史学传统如符若契，又对司马迁顶礼膜拜，晚年曾计划将“人物论”的代表作品《史记·列传》全译为日文。
本书正是宫崎本人的“人物论”，也是他的著作中最为通俗好读的一部，收录了他在漫长的研究生涯中重点关注过的人物，包括“大帝与名君”（秦始皇、汉武帝、隋炀帝、康熙、雍正），“乱世宰相”（李斯、冯道、贾似道），“资本家与地方官”（晋阳李氏、宋江、蓝鼎元），“儒家与文人”（孔子、朱子、张溥、石涛），涵盖各个时代和阶层，极具代表性。

Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject, the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.
HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION gives readers an unprecedented view of both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages--"since before this was even a show," according to Miranda--traces its development from an improbable performance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here.
Their account features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sondheim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by President Obama himself. The book does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don't throw away their shot.

From the acclaimed author of River Town and Oracle Bones, an intimate excavation of life in one of the world's oldest civilizations at a time of convulsive change
Drawn by an abiding fascination with Egypt's rich history and civilization, Peter Hessler moved with his wife and twin daughters to Cairo to explore a place that had a powerful hold over his imagination. He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, research ancient history, and visit the legendary archeological digs. After years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him it would be a much quieter place. But just before his arrival, the Arab Spring had reached Egypt and the country was in chaos.
In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archeological dig at a site rich in royal tombs known in as al-Madfuna, or "The Buried." He and his wife set out to master Arabic, striking up an important friendship with their language instructor, a cynical political sophisticate named Rifaat. And a very different kind of friendship was formed with their garbage collector, an illiterate neighborhood character named Saaed, whose access to the trash of Cairo would be its own kind of archeological excavation. Along the way, he meets a family of Chinese small business owners who have cornered the nation's lingerie trade; their pragmatic view of the political crisis is a bracing counterpoint to the West's conventional wisdom.
Through the lives of these ordinary Egyptians in a time of tragedy and heartache, while drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past, Hessler creates a richly textured and original portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it. Whether he's investigating the relics of pharaohs, the neighborhood trash that Saeed brings him, the Arabic vocabulary lists from Rifaat, or the Muslim Brotherhood documents left behind after mobs have looted their offices, Hessler finds subtle and illuminating insights to understand a nation from a new perspective.
What emerges is a book of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity. Through the lives of Saeed and Rifaat, we encounter a land in which a weak state has collapsed but its underlying society remains painfully the same. The Buried is an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader, one filled with unforgettable people who escape their context and become universal.

In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the “Sea Peoples” invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen?
In this major new account of the causes of this “First Dark Ages,” Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries.
A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age—and that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece.

The definitive, dramatic untold story of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, based on original reporting and new archival research.
April 25, 1986, in Chernobyl, was a turning point in world history. The disaster not only changed the world’s perception of nuclear power and the science that spawned it, but also our understanding of the planet’s delicate ecology. With the images of the abandoned homes and playgrounds beyond the barbed wire of the 30-kilometer Exclusion Zone, the rusting graveyards of contaminated trucks and helicopters, the farmland lashed with black rain, the event fixed for all time the notion of radiation as an invisible killer.
Chernobyl was also a key event in the destruction of the Soviet Union, and, with it, the United States’ victory in the Cold War. For Moscow, it was a political and financial catastrophe as much as an environmental and scientific one. With a total cost of 18 billion rubles—at the time equivalent to $18 billion—Chernobyl bankrupted an already teetering economy and revealed to its population a state built upon a pillar of lies.
The full story of the events that started that night in the control room of Reactor No.4 of the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Plant has never been told—until now. Through two decades of reporting, new archival information, and firsthand interviews with witnesses, journalist Adam Higginbotham tells the full dramatic story, including Alexander Akimov and Anatoli Dyatlov, who represented the best and worst of Soviet life; denizens of a vanished world of secret policemen, internal passports, food lines, and heroic self-sacrifice for the Motherland. Midnight in Chernobyl, award-worthy nonfiction that reads like sci-fi, shows not only the final epic struggle of a dying empire but also the story of individual heroism and desperate, ingenious technical improvisation joining forces against a new kind of enemy.

It was to Lucania, a desolate land in southern Italy, that Carlo Levi—a doctor, painter, philosopher, and man of letters—was confined as a political prisoner because of his opposition to Italy’s Fascist government at the start of the Ethiopian war in 1935. While there, Levi reflected on the harsh landscape and its inhabitants, peasants who lived the same lives their ancestors had, constantly fearing black magic and the near presence of death. In so doing, Levi offered a starkly beautiful and moving account of a place and a people living outside the boundaries of progress and time.

无论多么强大的国家，都不可能持续保持长久的国泰民安。即使没有来自外敌的威胁，也会出现产生于内部的敌人。这就如同人体一样，强健的体魄可以抵御外来疾病的入侵，但是内脏器官的疾患，却会制约身体的健康成长，并使人饱受折磨。
公元前二世纪中叶，受到罗马霸权扩张到地中海全境的刺激，罗马经济结构发生剧变。一方面，骑士阶级兴起，失业人口增加，贫富差距日益扩大；另一方面，由元老院所主导的寡头政体，在面临汉尼拔战争的危机时，高度发挥机能，权力不断集中，而开启“平民派”与“元老院派”抗争的世纪。作者以人物和事件交错的叙述方式，突显公元前133年～前63年这个革命动荡的世纪。成功是必须付出代价的，成为霸者之后罗马人的种种困境与混乱，值得经营现代生活的你我深切反思。

《罗马人的故事2:汉尼拔战记》以战争为题材，描述130年间罗马称霸地中海的历史，公元前218年—公元前202年，汉尼拔从西班牙率军，翻越阿尔卑斯山，进攻意大利本土，历时16年的战争，双方八回合的交战，难分难解。最终西阿庇击败盖世名将汉尼拔。令人击掌称快的战争场面，胜利逆转的精彩情节，引人思索。战争人反映类的思维和行为方式。为什么知识优越的希腊人、军事力量强大的迦太基人最后会败给罗马人？

罗马人，智力不如希腊人，体力不如高卢人，技术不如埃特鲁利亚人，经济不如迦太基人，但为何却能一一打败对手，建立并维持庞大的罗马帝国？
《罗马不是一天建成的》作为系列作品中的第一部，讲述的是罗马从建国到第一次、第二次布匿战争之前的五百年间的历史。这是一个饱经苦难的漫长岁月里的故事，即使在它的鼎盛时期，它都时常处于进一步退半步的状态。罗马后来之所以能成就大业的重要原因，基本上就是在这五百年间萌芽的。就好像一个人在青少年时期积蓄起来的力量到了三十而立之年才开始了解其真正的价值一样。

从2009年到2011年，陈丹青应《华夏地理》之邀，每年赴一地，先后游历了土耳其、俄罗斯、德国和匈牙利四国，并写成长篇游记，极具个人特色地勾画出了彼时彼地的人文、自然景观，牵连出此时此地的所思所想，本书即为这四篇文字的结集。除游记本身外，本书还附有300余幅历史和现场图片，以及陈丹青旅途中所画速写手稿。

《远方的鼓声》是村上春树的游记，时间为1986-1989年，游历地区为欧洲，主要为希腊、意大利两个国家。“一天早上睁眼醒来，蓦然侧耳倾听，远处传来鼓声。鼓声从很远很远的地方、从很远很远的时间传来，微乎其微。听着听着，我无论如何都要踏上漫长的旅途”——作者听得的微乎其微的“远方的鼓声”，最终成了您手头上这部可触可观的《远方的鼓声》。村上的游记具有个人特色，他几乎不写人所熟知的名胜古迹，而是与普通居民共同生活，描写他们的日常工作、饮食起居等，以及他们的所思所想，富有深度感，对读者了解这些国家的真实状况有很大帮助，文笔也幽默有趣，可读性很强。

《香识》为京城才女扬之水的品香之作，兼论香诗与香事，分“莲花香炉和宝子”、“香合”、“两宋香炉源流”、“印香与印香炉”、“宋人的沉香”、“龙涎真品与龙涎香品”、“琉璃瓶与蔷薇水”七篇，主题集中，考论精练，彩图丰富，香味四溢，令文人小资倾羡。

日本女作家原百代花了十一年的时间写成了《武则天》，书成时已七十高龄。为了写此书，她自学汉语，读懂弄通了《新唐书》、《旧唐书》、《资治通鉴》、《大唐西域记》以及全唐诗和演义小说。她因此书获得了日本"女性文化大奖"。本书极为翔实的记录了武则天从入宫到统治结束，乃至韦后之乱，太平公主自尽直至唐玄宗继位这一中国封建历史上女性政治活动的最高潮。本书的主要事件都按照史料记叙写作，戏说成分极少，不但有小说的意趣，作者原百代也在一些事件上面提出了自己的见解，因此也有很高的史学价值。
译者序：在中国的帝王史上，武则天是一位杰出的帝王；在中国的女权运动史上，武则天更是一位不让须眉，光辉千古的女性。于是，有人褒她、贬她；有人羡慕她、嫉妒她。关于她的政治生命及宫廷生活，更有种种不同的传说。然而，多数的记载及流传，都只从某一个角度去看她，而未能从整个历史背景，及她周围的环境，以及人性个不可抹煞的矛盾与挣扎，勾绘出她诡谲多变，昂然傲然的一生，使这位千古的奇女子活生生地重现在我们的眼前。
本书的作者原百代，集一生的学养与精力，综合了古今的论据，以时代为经，事件为纬，谨慎细密，又不失趣味地写成了这部《武则天》，一时轰动了日本文坛。此书兼有正史的正确与批判，野史的妙意与趣味，可当传记看，可当史料看，更是一部令人不忍释手的文学佳构。不同的读者，都可从不同的角度，在本书中得到他自己的需要、满足与快乐。译者在翻译此书时，也本着作者初衷，尽量保持书中的旨趣，除了求其正确之外，更重视笔调的流畅，趣味的保持，若仍存疏失之处，还请读者诸君不吝指正!

Soon to be an HBO series, book four in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, “one of the great novelists of our time.” (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times)
Here is the dazzling saga of two women, the brilliant, bookish Elena and the fiery uncontainable Lila. In this book, life’s great discoveries have been made, its vagaries and losses have been suffered. Through it all, the women’s friendship, examined in its every detail over the course of four books, remains the gravitational center of their lives. Both women once fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. But now, she has returned to Naples to be with the man she has always loved. Lila, on the other hand, never succeeded in freeing herself from Naples. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect her neighborhood. Yet somehow this proximity to a world she has always rejected only brings her role as unacknowledged leader of that world into relief.
Ferrante is one of the world’s great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.

In the third book in the Neapolitan quartet, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.

The second book, following 2012’s acclaimed My Brilliant Friend, featuring the two friends Lila and Elena. The two protagonists are now in their twenties. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila. Meanwhile, Elena continues her journey of self-discovery. The two young women share a complex and evolving bond that brings them close at times, and drives them apart at others. Each vacillates between hurtful disregard and profound love for the other. With this complicated and meticulously portrayed friendship at the center of their emotional lives, the two girls mature into women, paying the sometimes cruel price that this passage exacts.
