人類的故事

內(nèi)容概要

　　本書是一部描寫人類文明發(fā)展史的經(jīng)典之作。房龍以輕松平易的風(fēng)格及幽默風(fēng)趣的語言，由人類的起源、史前人類、佛祖釋迦牟尼、圣人孔子、古希臘和羅馬帝國(guó)、十字軍東征、文藝復(fù)興、啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)，一直寫到近代，為讀者展示了人類歷史的浩蕩長(zhǎng)卷。該書一度被美國(guó)中學(xué)選為歷史教科書，還曾獲得美國(guó)最著名的兒童文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)“紐伯瑞獎(jiǎng)”。
　　無論作為通俗的人類文明歷史讀本，還是作為語言學(xué)習(xí)的課外讀物，本書對(duì)當(dāng)代中國(guó)的讀者都將產(chǎn)生積極的影響。為了使讀者能夠了解每段歷史概況，提高閱讀速度和閱讀水平，在每段故事的開始部分增加了中文導(dǎo)讀。同時(shí)，為了讀者更好地理解書中內(nèi)容，在部分章節(jié)中加入了插圖，其中不乏不同時(shí)期著名畫家的作品。

章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁(yè)：插圖：Then came the glaciers and the many centuries of cold weather,and life on this planet became SO difficult that man was obliged to think three times as hard as ever before if he wished to survive.Since.however,that‘'wish to survive”was（and is）the mainspring which keeps every living being going full tilt to the last gasp of its breath，the brain of glacial man was set to work in all earnestness.Not only did these hardy people manage to exist through the long cold spells which killed many ferocious animals，but when the earth became warm and comfortable once more，prehiistoric man had learned a number of things which gave him such great advantages over his less intelligent neighbors that the danger of extinction fa very serious one during the first half million years of man’S residence upon this planet）became a very remote one.I told you how these earliest ancestors of ours were slowly plodding along when suddenly（and for reasons that are not well understood）the people who lived in the valley of the Nile rushed ahead and almost overnight.created the first centre of civilisation.Then I showed you Mesopotamia，“the land between the rivers?！眞hich was the second great school ofthe human race.And I made you a map ofthe little island bridges of the Aegean Sea，which carried the knowledge and the science of the old east to the young west。where lived the Greeks.Next I told you of an Indo.European tribe，called the Hellenes.who thousands ofyears before had left the heart ofAsia and who had in the eleventh century before our era pushed their way into the rocky peninsula of Greece and who，since then，have been known to US as the Greeks.And I told you the story of the little Greek cities that were really states，where the civilisation of old Egypt and Asia was transfigured（that is a big word，but you can“figure out”what it means）into something quite new,something that was much nobler and freer than anything that had gone before.
