A history of Chinese civilization

When published in 1982, this translation of Professor Jacques Gernet's masterly survey of the history and culture of China was immediately welcomed by critics and readers. This revised and updated edition makes it more useful for students and for the general reader concerned with the broad sweep of China's past. Written with an elegant and flowing narrative, the essential virtue of Jacques Gernet's book is to see the history of Chinese civilization as a whole. Yet within the synthesis of the trends - social, political, religious, scientific, artistic - that make up China's past and present, the author never loses sight of the telling detail that brings history to life. A History of Chinese Civilization is illustrated by a wide range of photographs, many maps, line drawings and tables. A detailed and updated chronological table and full bibliography complement the text and the expanded index now includes Chinese characters.

  • "本书共十一卷，从远古一直写到毛泽东去世，展示了华夏世界形成的各阶段."
  • "Prima della comparsa della Storia della Cina di Mario Sabattini e Paolo Santangelo (Laterza, 1986), era soprattutto su quest'opera di Gernet (della quale, purtroppo, non è finora stata tradotta la riedizione aggiornata del 1990) che il lettore italiano desideroso di formarsi un'immagine d'insieme della civiltà cinese poteva fare affidamento. E nella nitida prosa di questa poderosa sintesi poteva trovare, oltre a una mole imponente di dati e di informazioni, una lezione metodologica di perdurante valore, scoprendo una modalità d'accostamento al mondo cinese fondata sulla considerazione della sua pluralità e della sua insopprimibile dimensione storica. Contrapponendosi con forza allo stereotipo d'una Cina immobile e atemporale, Gernet sottolinea la rilevanza delle cesure e dei mutamenti nel corso delle sue vicende politiche, economiche e sociali. "Non v'è nulla in comune fra la monarchia religiosa e guerriera dei tempi arcaici e l'impero centralizzato", le cui trasformazioni sono state "occultate dall'uniformità del vocabolario" che procede per ininterrotte sequenze di lignaggi dinastici: "è quindi soltanto un miraggio vedere la detronizzazione della dinastia cino-manciù del 1912 come la fine di un sistema politico bimillenario". Gernet delinea il quadro di una vicenda intellettuale dinamica, articolata e complessa, mettendone in luce gli orientamenti specifici e l'originalità delle tradizioni come pure l'influenza dei contributi esterni, i rapporti e i legami con il resto del mondo, e offrendo così un contributo di grande spessore alla revoca in dubbio del pregiudizio "occidentalista" che continua a permeare la nostra cultura."

  • "Un ouvrage de référence pour qui s'intéresse à l'histoire de la Chine ancienne et moderne. J. Gernet donne une vision complète de l'histoire chinoise du néolithique à l'époque comtemporaine : le lecteur découvre pour chaque période tant l'histoire que le mouvement des idées, des religions, mais aussi la philosophie des sciences."
