日不落‧倫敦：創建、破壞與改革，泰晤士河畔的邊境小鎮如何站上世界舞台

Description

內容介紹
倫敦，一部不列顛群島歷史的縮影
從羅馬行省到大英帝國，從維京海盜到公投脫歐，
倫敦承載這塊土地的歲月，歲月成就這座城市的不凡，
一同探訪千年古都背後，屹立不搖的生命史。

倫敦，這座歷史悠久、享譽國際的英國首府，最早在紀元初由羅馬人創立，隨後被撒克遜人占領、丹麥人征服、諾曼人統治的城鎮。這個政局變化多端的地方，在中世紀搖身一變為由巷道和院落構成的迷宮，更是成為十八到十九世紀喬治時代富麗堂皇的大都會。隨著工業革命時代的來臨，倫敦更擴張為歷史上最大帝國的中心。經歷二次大戰德軍大轟炸，倫敦展現不屈的生命力，從廢墟中崛起，成為當今世界上最為著名的國際都會，人口即將突破九百萬大關。
這座矗立在泰晤士河畔兩千年的城市，何以成就今日的樣貌？本書作者西蒙‧詹金斯將倫敦歷史上的關鍵人、事、物及時代潮流集結起來，從史前時代泰晤士河谷的居民，到今日穿梭都會間的上班族，作者為這個首都繪製出一幅無與倫比的肖像，精湛地說明了決定倫敦如何被想像與建設的鬥爭──尤其是金錢與權力的永恆分歧。結合自身參與戰後倫敦市政發展的經驗，詹金斯用他獨到的趣味和權威，搭配75幅繪畫和照片，呈現倫敦這兩千年來見證的歷史。不論你對於倫敦熟門熟路，抑或初來乍到，都是是一本深度探訪倫敦最佳導覽全書！

「《日不落・倫敦》中文版選在二○二一年疫情當中出版，或許能讓沒去過倫敦的讀者先一睹文字上倫敦的風采，希望在解封後的日子裡，大家能飛出國門，親自到英國看看這詹金斯筆下見證英國千年歷史的迷人城市，眼裡看的，嘴裡吃的，手能觸及的，都是倫敦的歷史。」
