法国史学家、汉学家格鲁塞所写的这本《中国简史》,是西方人研究中国历史的经典著作之一。

书中,作者以重大的历史事件和历史人物为点,串连起中国上下几千年的历史;又以这些点为基础展开画面,截取出一个个角度独特的视觉面,从华夏的起源一直写到了清王朝的覆灭。

同时,作者也不是孤立地来写中国历史,而是将其放入了整个世界历史的大环境当中,通过横向和纵向的对比,从另外一个角度更客观地来看待中国的历史与文明,展现给我们一部不同于以往视角的中国历史。

René Grousset (September 5, 1885 – September 12, 1952) was a French historian specializing in Asiatic and Oriental history.
He was born in Aubais, Gard in 1885.

Having graduated from the University of Montpellier with a degree in history he began his distinguished career in the French Ministry of Fine Arts soon afterward. He served in the French army during World War I. In 1925 Grousset was appointed adjunct conservator of the Musee Guimet in Paris and secretary of the Journal asiatique. By 1930 he had published five major works on Asiatic and Oriental civilizations. In 1933 he was appointed director of the Cernuschi Museum in Paris and curator of its Asiatic art collections. He wrote a major work on the Chinese buddhist medieval pilgrim Huien Tsang, particularly emphasising the importance of his visit to the northern Indian buddhist university of Nalanda.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Grousset had published his two most important works, Histoire des Croisades (1934-1936) and L'Empire des Steppes (1939). Dismissed from his museum posts by the Vichy government, he continued his research privately and published three volumes on China and the Mongols during the war. Following the liberation of France, he resumed his curatorship of the Cernuschi Museum and in addition was appointed curator of the Musee Guimet. In 1946, Grousset was made a member of the French Academy. Between 1946 and 1949 he published four final works, concentrating on Asia Minor and the Near East.
