關於產品
Product Information
Written by one of the most brilliant and provocative historians at work today, The Isles is a revolutionary narrative history that presents a new perspective on the development of Britain and Ireland, looking at them not as self-contained islands, but as an inextricable part of Europe. This richly layered history begins with the Celtic Supremacy in the last centuries BC, which is presented in the light of a Celtic world stretching all the way from Iberia to Asia Minor. Roman Britain is seen not as a unique phenomenon but as similar to the other frontier regions of the Roman Empire. The Viking Age is viewed not only through the eyes of the invaded but from the standpoint of the invaders themselves--Norse, Danes, and Normans. In the later chapters, Davies follows the growth of the United Kingdom and charts the rise and fall of the main pillars of 'Britishness'--the Royal Navy, the Westminster Parliament, the Constitutional Monarchy, the Aristocracy, the British Empire, and the English Language. This holistic approach challenges the traditional nationalist picture of a thousand years of "eternal England"--a unique country formed at an early date by Anglo-Saxon kings which evolved in isolation and, except for the Norman Conquest, was only marginally affected by continental affairs. The result is a new picture of the Isles, one of four countries--England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales--constantly buffeted by continental storms and repeatedly transformed by them.

Reviews
"A wondrous, landmark chronicle of the British Isles--already a bestseller in the U.K.--that challenges conventional Anglocentric assumptions throughout.... Bursting with fresh insights on nearly every page, this magisterial narrative, scholarly yet down-to-earth and engrossing, reveals Daviesat his iconoclastic best.... No one who cares about Britain's past or future should miss this superb book."--Publishers Weekly (starred review), "[Davies] invests The Isles...with energy and enthusiasm."--The New York Times "For all its length, it miraculously retains the pace and exhilaration of an iconoclastic essay."--The Economist "The book succeeds, boisterous in its sheer variety."--The Wall Street Journal "An audacious project, touching and reckless, enormously stimulating and hugely necessary."--Washington Post Book World "Brilliant...Davies's fast-paced narrative and reassessments are executed with such brio that putting the book down...is almost impossible."--The Boston Sunday Globe "Any reader eager to challenge the enduring prejudices and bigotry that have dominated the history of the Isles for so long will find his myth-busting views both engaging and enlightening."--The Christian Science Monitor "Excellently organized and...well written."--The Boston Book Review "Davies has written a wondrous, landmark chronicle of the British Isles...Bursting with fresh insights on nearly every page, this magisterial narrative, scholarly yet down-to-earth and engrossing, reveals Davies at his iconoclastic best."--Publishers Weekly (boxed review) "A key book for its time...Moved by corrective passion and insatiable curiosity...Seizes the conventional wisdom of the moment, and destroys most of its foundations."--London Review of Books, "Until now, there has never been a full-length history book covering all the kingdoms, principalities, and miscellaneous state formations of the British Isles....Then along came Norman Davies, fresh from the triumph of his blockbuster, Europe: A History. He was used to Thinking Big and had allthe necessary qualities: energy, intellectual acumen and sheer chutzpah....The result is a book which really will change the way we think about our past....A marvellously rich and stimulating book."--Noel Malcolm, The Standard, "[Davies] invests The Isles...with energy and enthusiasm."--The New York Times"For all its length, it miraculously retains the pace and exhilaration of an iconoclastic essay."--The Economist"The book succeeds, boisterous in its sheer variety."--The Wall Street Journal"An audacious project, touching and reckless, enormously stimulating and hugely necessary."--Washington Post Book World"Brilliant...Davies's fast-paced narrative and reassessments are executed with such brio that putting the book down...is almost impossible."--The Boston Sunday Globe"Any reader eager to challenge the enduring prejudices and bigotry that have dominated the history of the Isles for so long will find his myth-busting views both engaging and enlightening."--The Christian Science Monitor"Excellently organized and...well written."--The Boston Book Review"Davies has written a wondrous, landmark chronicle of the British Isles...Bursting with fresh insights on nearly every page, this magisterial narrative, scholarly yet down-to-earth and engrossing, reveals Davies at his iconoclastic best."--Publishers Weekly (boxed review)"A key book for its time...Moved by corrective passion and insatiable curiosity...Seizes the conventional wisdom of the moment, and destroys most of its foundations."--London Review of Books, "A wondrous, landmark chronicle of the British Isles--already a bestseller in the U.K.--that challenges conventional Anglocentric assumptions throughout.... Bursting with fresh insights on nearly every page, this magisterial narrative, scholarly yet down-to-earth and engrossing, reveals Davies at his iconoclastic best.... No one who cares about Britain's past or future should miss this superb book."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Davies is as at home in Roman Britain as he is in contemporary 'devolved' Scotland, and, in turn, he makes readers at home on every page of this significant book."--Booklist, "In contrast to conventional anglocentric histories, Davies emphasizes the contributions of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland to British history.... His delight in overturning nationalist icons is wickedly infectious.... An exuberantly iconoclastic overturning of Albion's sacred cows thatsimultaneously enlarges our understanding of the past."--Kirkus Reviews, "For all its length, it miraculously retains the pace and exhilatation of an iconoclastic essay."--The Economist, "Davies is as at home in Roman Britain as he is in contemporary 'devolved' Scotland, and, in turn, he makes readers at home on every page of this significant book."--Booklist, "The Full Shocking Force of this Book Can only Be Appreciated by Reading It."--Andrew Marr, Observer, "At last we have a book about the English that hauls them out of isolation and puts them where they belong: alongside the Irish, Scots and Welsh and in the company of fellow-Europeans. The Isles begins with Cheddar Man, who died nearly 10,000 years ago, but whose DNA is still traceable amongpeople living near the cave where he was buried: at the time of his death, Great Britain was not yet an island. The earliest known ancestor of modern Englishmen, says Norman Davies, 'was a continental'. After the soundness of these messages, the best thing about the book is the style. Davies isamong the few living professional historians who write English with vitality, sparkle, economy and humour. The pages fly by, not only because the pace is well judged but also because the surprises keep coming."--Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, The Sunday Times, "If there is one serious book for every adult in Britain to read in the coming year, The Isles is it....Buy the book and marvel at the extraordinary story of our achievements, of who we are, and the equally wonderful myths of who we think we are."--Gavin Esler, The Scotsman, "A wondrous, landmark chronicle of the British Isles--already a bestseller in the U.K.--that challenges conventional Anglocentric assumptions throughout.... Bursting with fresh insights on nearly every page, this magisterial narrative, scholarly yet down-to-earth and engrossing, reveals Davies at his iconoclastic best.... No one who cares about Britain's past or future should miss this superb book."--Publishers Weekly(starred review) "Davies is as at home in Roman Britain as he is in contemporary 'devolved' Scotland, and, in turn, he makes readers at home on every page of this significant book."--Booklist
