20世纪二三十年代的北京是很多外国人扮演浪漫角色的温床,他们大都沉醉于对北京历史文化的欣赏和现实生活情趣的享受之中,在这样的历史情境之下,西方作者撰写出一批描写这个时代的北京及他们在这座魅力东方大都市的生活体验的作品,这本《北京纪胜》便真实还原了西方人眼中的老北京。作者裴丽珠以一个西方女性直观的视角,引领大家踏寻北京的名胜古迹,触摸街巷深处的历史印痕,将北京的宏大与琐碎揉捏在一起,做全景式的扫描,是作者“为读者、访问者轻松地走过北京过去的宝屋而写”。
Step back in time to Beijing as it was in the 1920 s as Juliet Bredon guides the reader to a magnificent time of the past. The more one studies this fascinating city, old, proud and secretive, the more one realises the tantalizing difficulties of learning, even from the Chinese themselves, anything but the merest outline of its history and monuments, many of which are in existence today. Who can forget the soft enchantment of Buddhist temples, the green peace of tombs haunted by fearless things, doves that flutter down at call, fishes rising to be fed? Having lived in Peking Juliet can truly say that the more intimately the scenes of Peking become known, the more deeply they are engraved on the affections. From the Forbidden City to the Summer Palace, the Ming tombs, the Western Hills, and the Great Wall, Juliet Bredon provides a fascinating guide to the Peking of 1931, with a fascinating history told of this once walled city.
