“There is so much to be excited about here. I love disruptive nonfiction that flips the script, books that show a new perspective on some of the most important conversations. I am keen for projects that debunk cultural mythology; the more enshrined that mythology, the better. I can’t imagine a more ambitious task than to redefine the understanding of Western Civilization, and yet through the pages of this proposal, I found myself utterly convinced that Naoíse would be up to the task. I love her grounded, human approach to this sweeping narrative, and the easy cadence with which she moves through such broad swathes of history.”
----Dutton
“西方”不是一物一地,而是一个理念。就理念而言,它是一个特别重要的理念,因为它塑造了数百万人的生活,构建了我们周围的世界,并改变了历史进程----当然即便如此,它仍然是一个理念。《西方》提出了“西方”作为一个概念的激进的新历史,挑战了关于其起源和发展的既定神话,并展望了其未来。
纳奥兹通过历史上九个人的生活对“西方”的合法性提出质疑,从希罗多德开始,到香港现任行政长官林郑月娥结束。《西方》从德国到美国,从古希腊到巴格达的史料和资料中汲取营养,为我们重述了一个真正的全球性历史。
