A STUDY OF THE HEPHTHALITE HISTORY是同作者《嚈哒史研究》一书的英文版，是作者研究嚈哒史的专著。 嚈哒初是北亚一个弱小的游牧部族，四世纪七十年代迁往中亚，以后日益强大起来，开始了大规模的征服。极盛时期的嚈哒国幅员辽阔，除领有大部分中亚地区外，还一度占有波斯和印度的大片领土。从五世纪三十年代末嚈哒人占领今阿富汗北部，直至六世纪五十年代末嚈哒国家被突厥和波斯联盟灭亡，这一百二十年左右的时间在中亚史上称为嚈哒时代。嚈哒人的活动对中亚、北亚、南亚、西亚乃至欧洲的历史都产生了深远的影响。因此，嚈哒史研究是古代中亚史研究一个不可缺少的环节，也是中国西域史、波斯古代史和印度古代史研究的重要组成部分。也就是说，嚈哒史研究有其不容忽视的世界史意义。自十九世纪中叶起，各国学者纷纷发表有关嚈哒史研究的论文。20

Writing with passion and intelligence, Said retraces thePalestinian Hejira, its disastrous flirtation with Saddam Hussein,and its ambitious peace accord with Israel.

Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunesfrom its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to itsemergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy,having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In thisfascinating history, events are described not simply in terms ofpartisan politics, but through colorful portraits that bring thestrengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as thenoble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life.While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be amemorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hopingthat readers of his account could learn from the past ills andvirtues of the city.
Pliny's "Natural History" is an astonishingly ambitious workthat ranges from astronomy to art and from geography to zoology.Mingling acute observation with often wild speculation, it offers afascinating view of the world as it was understood in the firstcentury AD, whether describing the danger of diving for sponges,the first water-clock, or the use of asses' milk to removewrinkles. Pliny himself died while investigating the volcaniceruption that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79, and the natural curiositythat brought about his death is also very much evident in the"Natural History" - a book that proved highly influential right upuntil the Renaissance and that his nephew, Pliny the younger,described 'as full of variety as nature itself'.
A remarkable and engrossing account of medieval England's epicconflict with France. From 1337 to 1453 England repeatedly invaded France on thepretext that her kings had a right to the French throne. Though itwas a small, poor country, England for most of those "hundredyears" won the battles, sacked the towns and castles, and dominatedthe war. The protagonists of the Hundred Years War are among themost colorful in European history: Edward III, the Black Prince;Henry V, who was later immortalized by Shakespeare; the splendidbut inept John II, who died a prisoner in London; Charles V, whovery nearly overcame England; and the enigmatic Charles VII, who atlast drove the English out. Desmond Seward's critically-acclaimedaccount of the Hundred Years War brings to life all of theintrigue, beauty, and royal to-the-death-fighting of that legendarycentury-long conflict. "Mr. Seward shows us all the famous sights of those roaring times. . . and illuminates them with an easy scholarship, a nice senseof

“Reads like a novel. A fast-paced page-turner, it haseverything: sex, wit, humor, and adventures. But it is animpressively researched and important story.” —David Fromkin, author of Europe’s Last Summer Vienna, 1814 is an evocative and brilliantly researched accountof the most audacious and extravagant peace conference in modernEuropean history. With the feared Napoleon Bonaparte presumablydefeated and exiled to the small island of Elba, heads of some 216states gathered in Vienna to begin piecing together the ruins ofhis toppled empire. Major questions loomed: What would be done withFrance? How were the newly liberated territories to be divided?What type of restitution would be offered to families of thedeceased? But this unprecedented gathering of kings, dignitaries,and diplomatic leaders unfurled a seemingly endless stream ofpersonal vendettas, long-simmering feuds, and romanticentanglements that threatened to undermine the crucial work athand, even as their hard-fought policy dec
