Rate this book
本书全面描绘了巴尔干历史研究中最冷门、最模糊的部分——奥斯曼帝国统治时期。

本书从奥斯曼人的早期历史开始,描述了奥斯曼帝国的基本特征,阐释了这些特征如何影响帝国直接管理的欧洲领土的方方面面,并如何给帝国的附庸国或朝贡国留下永久印记。作者不仅解释了奥斯曼帝国如何得以统治其欧洲部分,还指出这种统治模式与其在欧洲的失败息息相关。本书提供的大量巴尔干政治、经济和社会历史方面的信息,为理解当下东南欧地区的局势和社会转型提供了有价值的素材和视角。

本书对奥斯曼帝国对东南欧地区近500年的统治进行了深入分析。作者首先考察了奥斯曼帝国在东南欧地区的行省以及在周边附庸国和朝贡国的管理体制,从机构的设置、官员的培养、选拔和任命,城市、乡村的建设,法律体系的建构,个体的职业、各类人群的等级划分,税收、军事、交通的体系等各个方面进行了细致分析,整体展现了奥斯曼帝国对东南欧地区的深刻影响,为理解当下东南欧地区的政治经济体制和国家转型提供了有价值的素材和视角。得一提的是,本书虽然聚焦的是东南欧,但对奥斯曼帝国在欧洲的附庸国和朝贡国(摩尔达维亚、瓦拉几亚、特兰西瓦尼亚、拉古萨),以及对匈牙利的占领等均有详细论述,对于理解东欧地区经济和文化发展亦有重要意义。

A great introduction to the history of Europe under Ottoman rule which is often covered in broad brush strokes or virtually ignored in books describing the national histories of these countries.

I found the chapters on the vassal states (Wallachia & Moldavia, Transylvania and Ragusa) particularly interesting.

For a novice like me Sugar's repeated use of Turkic terms for types of people and land use was a bit confusing. It would have helped if he gave the terms an English equivalent but I can see that perhaps there would be good reasons for leaving them untranslated.
