• 导读
  • This book is one of Charles Dickens’ historical works. This is a work where fact, myth and legend are braided into a reasonably understandable history of England. Starting with William the Conquerer to William and Mary, this book is a truly expose of not only how they got into power but how they either remained in power or were overthrown.

  • 内容简介
  • 本书讲述了从公元前50年到公元1689年、维多利亚女王登基之间的英国史,包括亚瑟王、百年战争、都铎王朝、血腥玛丽、伊丽莎白一世、亨利八世等重要时代和人物的兴衰。本书虽为历史书,但狄更斯使用了更为风趣、更具故事性的文学写作手法,诙谐幽默的风格和讽刺口吻贯穿全文。通过讲述历代君王的沉浮,作者也表达了一种世事难料,繁华落尽,一切终将归为尘土的超凡心境,引导读者思考人生的真谛。
