Description

她是詩人普希金嘴裡「俄國面向西方的窗口」 也是沙皇尼古拉二世口中「是俄國卻又不是俄國人的城市」 她的起落,見證了俄國從彼得大帝建城到普丁專政,權力和欲望交織、殘暴與屠殺橫行的三百年史 《時代雜誌》2017年年度好書 政大民族系教授趙竹成 專文推薦 世上諸城中擁有最精采歷史的奇妙城市。 ——杜斯妥也夫斯基,一八六三年 聖彼得堡屬於俄羅斯,但不屬於俄羅斯人。 ——沙皇尼古拉二世 聖彼得堡永遠像是座不可能存在的都城,一七○三年,在彼得大帝堅忍不拔的意志力下,她從冰冷迷霧與涅瓦河的氾濫沼澤地中興起。她是古老國度俄羅斯的新首都,擁有一系列的不同化身,從聖彼得堡、彼得格勒、列寧格勒,再回到聖彼得堡,這座城市一直是恆常充滿矛盾的地方。 聖彼得堡也是俄羅斯通往西方與啟蒙思想的窗子,眾多俄國人的榮耀都在這裡開創,這裡有著音樂、舞蹈,以及曾經的政治願景。聖彼得堡也是孕育俄羅斯文藝的溫床,在這誕生的天才有普希金、杜斯妥也夫斯基、柴可夫斯基和蕭斯塔科維奇。然而,在沙皇金碧輝煌的宮殿、童話般的舞會和迷人的花園外,曾有數千人的鮮血潑灑在城中積雪的步道上。聖彼得堡也是戰爭和革命的搖籃,以及列寧和史達林等共產黨人,施行恐怖統治的所在。 在本書中,文化歷史學者強納森.邁爾斯重建了這座荒謬卻又美麗城市的三百年戲劇場面,從聖彼得堡建城的那刻,直到「現代沙皇」普丁執政的今天。本書是一齣關於人性的美善與險惡的戲劇,一則關於俄羅斯近代發展的史詩,是對這座城市的歷史、人文、地理最全面且詳實的指引。 出版社 馬可孛羅 (城邦)
