《中国人史纲》是柏杨在九年零二十六天的监狱岁月里“埋头整理中国历史”而成的一部皇皇巨著。说它是巨著,一是就篇幅而言,全书近八十万字,从盘古开天地的神话时代一直讲到二十世纪叶满清王朝末期最不堪的那段屈辱岁月;二是就影响力来说,《史纲》自出版以来,一直是广大读者了解中国通史的首选书籍;还有第三,那就是《史纲》的成就代表了作家写史的一种高度,在将历史写得精彩好看又不乏深刻洞察力方面,柏杨做出了杰出的成就。
《中国人史纲》的写作特点包括洒脱自在、游刃有余的表述。对历史事件和人物持有鲜明的态度。每章最后的“东西方世界”一节,别具匠心和视野。特有的以世纪分章和以问题分节,不以帝王年号而以普遍的公历算法来纪年,和将一个世纪分成十个年代来分别表示,等等做法,都使得全书脉络清晰,重点主题一目了然,大大地方便了阅读。

In this sweeping and insightful history, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book-length to a country he has known intimately for decades, and whose modern relations with the West he helped shape. Drawing on historical records as well as his conversations with Chinese leaders over the past forty years, Kissinger examines how China has approached diplomacy, strategy, and negotiation throughout its history, and reflects on the consequences for the global balance of power in the 21st century.
Since no other country can claim a more powerful link to its ancient past and classical principles, any attempt to understand China's future world role must begin with an appreciation of its long history. For centuries, China rarely encountered other societies of comparable size and sophistication; it was the "Middle Kingdom," treating the peoples on its periphery as vassal states. At the same time, Chinese statesmen-facing threats of invasion from without, and the contests of competing factions within-developed a canon of strategic thought that prized the virtues of subtlety, patience, and indirection over feats of martial prowess.
In On China, Kissinger examines key episodes in Chinese foreign policy from the classical era to the present day, with a particular emphasis on the decades since the rise of Mao Zedong. He illuminates the inner workings of Chinese diplomacy during such pivotal events as the initial encounters between China and modern European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, Richard Nixon's historic trip to Beijing, and three crises in the Taiwan Straits. Drawing on his extensive personal experience with four generation of Chinese leaders, he brings to life towering figures such as Mao, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, revealing how their different visions have shaped China's modern destiny.
With his singular vantage on U.S.-China relations, Kissinger traces the evolution of this fraught but crucial relationship over the past 60 years, following its dramatic course from estrangement to strategic partnership to economic interdependence, and toward an uncertain future. With a final chapter on the emerging superpower's 21st-century world role, On China provides an intimate historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of the 20th century.

A Bitter Revolution 豆瓣

China is now poised to take a key role on the world stage, but in the early twentieth century the situation could not have been more different. Rana Mitter goes back to this pivotal moment in Chinese history to uncover the origins of the painful transition from a premodern past into a modern world.
By the 1920s the seemingly civilized world shaped over the last two thousand years by the legacy of the great philosopher Confucius was falling apart in the face of western imperialism and internal warfare. Chinese cities still bore the imprints of its ancient past with narrow, lanes and temples to long-worshipped gods, but these were starting to change with the influx of foreign traders, teachers, and missionaries, all eager to shape China's ancient past into a modern present.
Mitter takes us through the resulting social turmoil and political promise, the devastating war against Japan in the 1940s, Communism and the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, and the new era of hope in the 1980s ended by the Tian'anmen uprising. He reveals the impetus behind the dramatic changes in Chinese culture and politics as being China's "New Culture" - a strain of thought which celebrated youth, individualism, and the heady mixture of strange and seductive new cultures from places as far apart as America, India, and Japan.
Readership: The general reader interested in China, students and lecturers of twentieth-century world history, Chinese history, comparative history, and politics.

本书初版于1923年9月,是第一部用白话文写成的中国通史。虽是一部学术性的专著但预设的读者对象却是青年学生,史识丰富,笔调流畅,数年内不断重印再版,是二三十年代发行量最大的一部中国通史。《白话本国史》的史分期最有特色:周以前上古史,秦朝统一到唐朝全盛为中古史,从唐朝安史之乱至南宋为近古史,元朝至朝中叶为近世史,西力东渐以后为最近世史。作者认为:春秋战国“是三代以前和秦汉以后社会的一个大界限”,而西力东渐是传统社会与现代历史的另一个大界限,其间的历史,只是承平—致乱—再复承平的不断重演,而无本质上的变化。但就政治形势和民族关系而论,汉唐和宋元明清又有很大的不同,所以唐中期安史之乱可以作为中古史和近古史的一大界限。这种从史实出发、突出历史发展进程中的大关节目的历史分期,更为平实中肯、接近史实。
《白话本国史》规模宏大、视野开阔。与现今各类通史专著总是先政治、经济,后文化、外交的叙述顺序不同,吕先生的叙事往往都是有横向态势的展开,由大到小,由远至近,将所叙述的事件置于一个宽阔的时空范围,高屋建瓴,四方周赡,以获“通方之见”。该书除了叙述历代的政治制度、经济组织、宗教文化、社会情形之外,尤其关注与中国历史关系密切的东南洋、中西亚各国、各民族的历史,诸如“近代的蒙回藏”、“近代的西南诸族”、“近代的后印度半岛”、“中西交涉的初期”、“藩属的丧失”、“俄蒙英藏的交涉”等内容,都有专门的章节加以叙述。这些与现代中国休戚相关的问题,多为后来通史著作所缺失。书中包含的大量的知识原点,许多涉及历史、地理、语法、训诂、辨伪等方面的知识,都是工具书里不易查到的。而开列的参考阅读书目,为进一步的学习、研讨指示了方向。

2000年,由S大考古系牵头的一次北疆古墨山国的考古活动,又意外地发现了“古墨山国遗址”与“小河墓地”、“古墓沟基地”的内在的联系。这惊天秘密,竟是由一座平淡无奇的荒郊古墓里出土的一具黑衣女尸逐步揭出。
黑衣女尸阴魂不散,北疆谜团诡谲重重。几代考古学者生死相继追寻的谜底,被一张吐火罗语写就的丧契引向更深重的黑暗谜团。

世界上每座城市終有其興衰,然而,一個偉大的城市,卻會永遠活在人們的故事裡。北京、台北都失去了過去的城牆,也都建起了現代的高塔,但城市的未來呢?誰來構築可以世代流傳的城市故事?世界上沒有第二個城市,如北京城這般,擁有這樣大氣魄的建築總佈局。
然而是什麼原因,造成了今日令人唏噓的「看不見的北京城」?
是歷史的滄桑與無奈,還是人為的偶然與必然?從古至今,無數的故事在北京城上演,
但都不如梁思成、林徽因、陳占祥、華攬洪......等人來得勇敢、悲切。
他們幾乎扭轉了今日北京城的風貌,
他們的知識良心與道德勇氣,代表了中國知識份子一貫的風骨與堅韌,
而這份使命感是中國歷經朝代更迭,文化仍綿延存續的根源所在。「城記」是一部精采深刻的歷史文獻、人文典範、建築講義,
也是城市文明史的滄桑縮影。
身為知識份子,不可不讀!

在完成本书写作的10年间,作者共采访当事人50余位,收集、查阅、整理大量第一手史料,实地考察京、津、冀、晋等地重要古建筑遗迹,跟踪北京城市发展模式、文物保护等专题作出深入调研。全书分为十章,从北京的现实入手,以五十多年来北京城营建史中的历次论争为主线展开叙述,其中又以20世纪五六十年代为重点,将梁思成、林徽因、陈占祥、华揽洪等一批建筑师、规划师的人生故事穿插其间,试图廓清“梁陈方案”提出的前因后果,以及后来城市规划的形成,北京出现所谓“大屋顶”建筑、拆除城墙等古建筑的情况,涉及“变消费城市为生产城市”、“批判复古主义”、“大跃进”、“整风鸣放”、“文化大革命”等历史时期。
与文字同样重要的是书中选配的三百余幅插图,不乏私人珍藏的照片及画作,如梁思成先生工作笔记中的画作和首次发表的梁思成水彩写生画。
