Il Palazzo della memoria di Matteo Ricci

release date: Nov 25, 2024
Il Palazzo della memoria di Matteo Ricci
Matteo Ricci fu l’uomo che con maggiore determinazione ed efficacia tentò di far comunicare due grandi civiltà – quella europea e quella cinese – che per secoli si erano ritenute autosufficienti. Gesuita, di quell’epoca in cui i gesuiti erano anche uomini temerari, che partivano verso i luoghi più remoti con l’intenzione non soltanto di convertire ma di capire chi vi abitava, patì in Cina traversie di ogni genere ma riuscì a offrire dell’Europa e della cristianità un profilo che si impresse profondamente nell’immaginario cinese, e divenne anzi un tramite obbligatorio verso l’Occidente. Matteo Ricci non cercò solo di ritrovare Confucio in Epitteto e far scoprire Epitteto in Confucio. Al fine di entrare con sottile precisione in un sistema psichico totalmente alieno, utilizzò anche un’arte antica e segreta dell’Occidente, la mnemotecnica, elaborando un Palazzo della memoria che doveva fissare indelebilmente alcuni punti essenziali della dottrina cristiana. E intorno alle immagini di quel Palazzo Jonathan Spence ha costruito un libro che ci invita a intraprendere un viaggio in compagnia di Matteo Ricci – ovvero a ripercorrere un’avventura umana e intellettuale che non ha eguali: dall’infanzia a Macerata, «un mondo invaso dalla guerra e dalla violenza», alla logorante e malsicura esistenza nelle missioni asiatiche tra Cinquecento e Seicento; dalle terrifiche traversate degli oceani agli ardui tentativi di evangelizzazione dell’India («pieno d’oppio», il mogul Akbar sembrava spesso troppo stordito per afferrare i punti più delicati del discorso); dall’illuminante impatto con la spiritualità orientale ai lunghi anni in una Cina che Spence riesce ancora una volta a restituire amalgamando magistralmente l’acribia dello studioso e il talento del narratore.

曹寅與康熙(經典新版)【史景遷立體再現康熙盛世開啟史學新啟點】
史景遷史學研究起始之作,開啟西方漢學新面向。 細膩書寫康熙寵臣曹寅的家族興衰, 反映清朝政治、財經、社會等多元面向, 立體再現康熙盛世的浮世織錦。 曹寅作為康熙皇帝的家奴,以歸順旗人的漢人身分,遊走滿漢二元社會,署理攸關稅收的兩淮鹽政與御用供給的江寧織造,聲勢日隆,其一生仕途和家族起落與康熙密切相關。史景遷企圖透過曹寅來反映康熙的統治手腕與清初政經社會面貌,也重構曹雪芹筆下《紅樓夢》背後的曹家真實景況。 本書為史景遷師從明清史學家房兆楹所做的博士論文,擺脫以往西方學者著重在西方因素影響東方歷史的研究觀點,重新觀察明末清初中國社會的滿漢關係與社會變革。本論文榮獲珀特爾論文獎(the John Addison Porter Prize),不僅是史景遷一生學術著作的起點,也為中國近現代史學研究提供新面向。

婦人王氏之死(經典新版)【史景遷以一個女人的命案點明朝代更替的社會線索】
從一樁命案留下的謎團,牽出發生在郯城的悲歡離合。 在史料與文學隱藏的細節中,勾勒明末清初的社會樣貌。 《婦人王氏之死》是一本在風格和取徑上和傳統歷史研究大不相同的經典之作。史景遷以其高超的敘事技巧和敏銳的感知能力,在僵化的史料背後,重新塑造或捕捉逝去的時空和人物的生命。 從兵燹、地震到饑荒,史景遷援引《郯城縣志》、《福惠全書》等史料文獻,建構一座不起眼的山東小縣城的歷史光景,並在章節中穿插《聊齋志異》的玄幻故事,以引人入勝的手法,解剖市井風俗、分析法律訟事,繼而探討女性的地位、情感與社會桎梏。 《婦人王氏之死》帶領讀者跟隨官吏、盜匪、仕紳、黎民所留下的足跡,踏查明末清初中國北方民眾的心靈圖像,還原大歷史背後的小人物命運。史景遷使用的資料,看似簡單、平常,但透過他的妙手鋪陳,郯城這個三百多年前,中國北方的一所窮苦的聚落,卻以那樣鮮明強烈的形象,逼近眼前,久久揮拭不去。 名家推薦 伍佰(音樂人) 何致和(作家) 吳家恆(數位傳聲製作總監) 吳展良(國立臺灣大學歷史學系教授) 宋怡慧(新北市立丹鳳高中圖書館主任,作家) 李孝悌(國立中央大學歷史研究所講座教授) 沈旭暉(國立中山大學政治學研究所副教授) 金老ㄕ(「故事:寫給所有人的歷史」專欄作家) 神奇海獅(歷史作家) 馬雅人(FB馬雅國駐臺辦事處) 康豹(中央研究院近代史研究所特聘研究員) 陳一隆(臺中一中歷史科教師兼任祕書) 陳國棟(中央研究院歷史語言研究所研究員) 陳茻(與點堂創辦人) 陳榮彬(國立臺灣大學文學院翻譯碩士學位學程副教授) 溫洽溢(世新大學社會發展研究所副教授兼所長) 廖彥博(歷史作家,譯者) 蔡依橙(陪你看國際新聞創辦人) 蔡偉傑(國立中正大學歷史學系助理教授) 蔣竹山(國立中央大學歷史研究所副教授兼文學院學士班主任) 鄭俊德(閱讀人社群主編) 鄭培凱(香港非物質文化遺產諮詢委員會主席,集古學社社長) 謝金魚(歷史作家) 謝哲青(作家╱節目主持人) 藍崇文(特聘教授) ──各界名家 齊聲推薦(依姓名筆畫排序)

“Splendid . . . One could not imagine a better subject than Zhan Dai for Spence.” (The New Republic) Celebrated China scholar Jonathan Spence vividly brings to life seventeenth-century China through this biography of Zhang Dai, recognized as one of the finest historians and essayists of the Ming dynasty. Born in 1597, Zhang Dai was forty-seven when the Ming dynasty, after more than two hundred years of rule, was overthrown by the Manchu invasion of 1644. Having lost his fortune and way of life, Zhang Dai fled to the countryside and spent his final forty years recounting the time of creativity and renaissance during Ming rule before the violent upheaval of its collapse. This absorbing tale of Zhang Dai’s life illuminates the transformation of a culture and reveals how China’s history affects its place in the world today.

This the Taiping ruled as their Heavenly Kingdom from their seat in Nanjing for 11 years, until they were overcome. Spence takes us into the fevered dream world of Hong Xiuquan.

Treason by the Book
“A savory, fascinating story of absolute rule, one that not only reveals a great deal about China’s turbulent past but also suggests where some of the more durable reflexes of China’s current leaders have their roots. . . . A detective yarn and a picaresque tale.” (Richard Bernstein, The New York Times) Shortly before noon on October 28, 1728, General Yue Zhongqi, the most powerful military and civilian official in northwest China, was en route to his headquarters. Suddenly, out of the crowd, a stranger ran toward Yue and passed him an envelope—an envelope containing details of a treasonous plot to overthrow the Manchu government. This thrilling story of a conspiracy against the Qing dynasty in 1728 is a captivating tale of intrigue and a fascinating exploration of what it means to rule and be ruled. Once again, Jonathan Spence has created a vivid portrait of the rich culture that surrounds a most dramatic moment in Chinese history.

Manual da traição
A história de uma conspiração na China do século XVIII e o destino de seus principais protagonistas adquirem vida e atualidade nesta obra de Jonathan Spence, professor na Universidade Yale. O Historiador relata com arte de romancista as motivações e ideais do conspirador Zeng Jing, as investigações para desvendar a trama e a maneira pela qual o imperador Yongzheng procura desfazer a rede de boatos e intrigas sobre seu reinado e sua conduta moral.SPence descreve práticas de controle ideológico que causariam inveja às ditaduras modernas. O Soberano monta uma gigantesca operação de propaganda e relações públicas, estabelece um surpreendente debate epistolar com o conspirador e acaba por perdoá-lo. SOb o título O despertar de um equívoco, as cartas são reunidas num livro que constitui um verdadeiro "manual da traição". MIlhares de exemplares da obra são espalhados onde quer que existam letrados, nas escolas, universidades e bibliotecas das aldeias mais remotas, para edificação do povo. AO assumir o trono, porém, o filho e sucessor de Yongzheng sela o destino de Zeng Jing de maneira abrupta e impiedosa, num desfecho que mostra a lógica implacável do poder imperial: não pode haver perdão para um traidor.
