书名:The Written World: The Power of Stories to Shape People, History, Civilization
作者:Martin Puchner
内容简介:In this groundbreaking book, Martin Puchner leads us on a remarkable journey through time and around the globe to reveal the powerful role stories and literature have played in creating the world we have today. Puchner introduces us to numerous visionaries as he explores sixteen foundational texts selected from more than four thousand years of world literature and reveals how writing has inspired the rise and fall of empires and nations, the spark of philosophical and political ideas, and the birth of religious beliefs. Indeed, literature has touched the lives of generations and changed the course of history.
一部英雄传奇,催促亚历山大帝不断征服,直至他治下的土地都浸染上那部传奇的色彩;几个不听话的学生的记录,让他们老师的教诲将在数千年后影响数十亿人;一册薄薄的宣言,彻底改变了世界的格局……
随着这些伟大的作品,帝国兴衰、文明起落,历史在文字的锤击下被铸成我们今日所见的样子。
