Editor's Note:
《你一定爱读的极简欧洲史》是一部“最短”的欧洲史。它以极简练的文字,却从不同的角度,把欧洲历史的精要述说透彻!雅典的民主、罗马的共和,差别在哪里?蛮族入侵是如何发生?中古时期的政教之争到底争什么东西?罗伯斯庇尔时期的法国为什么叫“美德共和国”?——所有这些问题的答案,《你一定爱读的极简欧洲史》将以非常轻松的方式告诉你。为我们梳理出欧洲文明所以能改变全世界的各种特质。作者从三大元素:古希腊罗马文化、基督教教义以及日耳曼战士文化开篇,描述了这三大元素如何彼此强化,又相互对立,最终形塑为欧洲文明的内核;继而在诸多世纪以来催生帝国与城邦,激发征服与十字军东侵,造就出许多性格截然分明的人物──如仁慈的皇帝、好斗的教皇、侠义的骑士,乃至世上第一批享受繁荣和启蒙果实的公民。《你一定爱读的极简欧洲史》以清晰、幽默、发人深省的笔调,杂以活泼的插图,叙述了一个不同凡响的文明。
