【编辑推荐】
从金雀花王朝到都铎王朝的伊丽莎白女王,这部作品描绘出大英帝国的辉煌历史图卷,以及日新月异的英国社会风俗画。英国作家丹.琼斯的《金雀花王朝》,被评价没有灵异生物的《权力的游戏》。了解英国历史,这本书是不错的入门书,译者陆大鹏在业界也颇有口碑。《伊丽莎白女王》比较翔实地铺陈了伊丽莎白的一生,以宫廷事务和君臣关系为中心,侧写了都铎王朝全盛时期的风貌。
【内容简介】
金雀花王朝的初代国王从诺曼王朝手里继承的是一个四分五裂、流血漂橹的残破国家,随后却将它发展壮大成为一个帝国,其版图在巅峰时刻从苏格兰一直延伸到耶路撒冷。在这部史诗式的叙述历史中,丹·琼斯提出了一个观点:都铎王朝的君主们远远比不上之前的金雀花国王们,那些同样血气方刚、英勇无畏而足智多谋的帝王。
金雀花王朝的王后当中也涌现了一批性格刚烈的女强人。征服者威廉的孙女玛蒂尔达宁愿掀起一场血腥的内战,也不肯放弃对王位的权利主张。阿基坦的埃莉诺先是当上了法兰西王后,后来又成了英格兰王后。埃莉诺的儿子之一,狮心王理查在第三次十字军东征中勇敢地向萨拉丁发出挑战,不料在归途中遭到暗算。埃莉诺的另一个儿子,约翰国王,则被迫向自己的臣民屈服,签署了《大宪章》,这份契约就是我们今天的《权利法案》的基石。金雀花王朝将英格兰塑造成了我们今天熟知的模样,并制订了许多法律和政治惯例,我们在创建自己的政府时,也借用了这些法律和惯例。
这个时代有骑士精神,有十字军东征,有托马斯·贝克特,有强大修会的崛起,有黑死病,有议会的奠立,有黑太子,也有百年战争。这部《金雀花王朝》的作者是一位天赋异禀的青年历史学家。《冰与火之歌》的粉丝会喜欢这部书。曾经手不释卷地阅读亨利八世历史、并且对不列颠最著名君主们的狡黠、奸诈和魅力叹为观止的读者也会喜欢《金雀花王朝》。

《伊丽莎白女王》1558年,25岁登基的伊丽莎白从姊姊“血腥玛丽”所承继的英国,对外已失去在欧洲的最后一块土地-加莱港,退回到欧洲大陆边缘小国的地位;国内又充满宗教与政治纷争,国库因战事耗损空虚,社会阶层壁垒分明,人民生活不易。生在一切以家父长制(patriarchal age)为中心的时代,身上流着亨利八世血脉的年轻伊丽莎白,带着众人的殷切期盼上台,但仍不免许多觊觎王位的人,包括野心勃勃的外国王子和不忠诚的英国子民,处心积虑地想要谋反篡夺她的王权。等待着伊丽莎白的挑战是,如何稳定当前的政府民心,消弭对立歧见,解决财政问题,并且提升国际威信。
