在自卡尔•马克思的《共产主义宣言》出版以来的一个半世纪中，这个负载马克思名字的学说在平等和正义的名义下为数百万人所接受却又戏剧性地，随着共产主义在西方世界的衰落而失去了它的魅力。然而，就在自由市场在被看作是灾难性的对管制的退避的核爆中走向极限的时候，对资本主义最严格、最有说服力的敌人的重新评价，前所未有地及时。 埃里克•霍布斯鲍姆提供了一种迷人的、充满洞见的对马克思主义的总体回顾。他探索了马克思主义的多种影响来源——从对贵格会运动到马基雅维利——以及马克思主义在法国大革命和德国哲学中的源流。他对马克思主义思想家即核心文本——从恩格斯的《工人阶级的境况》到葛兰西的《狱中笔记》到《共产主义宣言》本身——进行了考察，并对过去三十年来马克思主义的时运的惊人反转进行了分析。通过出色、深刻、充满能量且内容广泛的工作，《如何改变世界》毫无疑问地向我们展示了这点：卡...(展开全部)

给莉莉的信”由三十封给外孙女莉莉的信组成。 从追问人是谁， 人所由何来， 人的种族国家等问题开始， 接着探讨人的爱和友谊， 人类的暴力和恐惧， 知识和信仰， 权力和秩序， 自我与他人， 生与死， 身心关系等基本问题。 文字生动浅白。 麦克法兰没有把人类作为“万物的灵长， 宇宙的精华”一味赞颂。 而是认为“人类是悖论的化身， 是矛盾的集成”。 作者写到： 人类真是莫名奇妙啊。 他们明明只是动物， 却自以为是别具一格。 他们拿不定主意， 到底该看重自己的精神还是肉体。他们也不能决定， 到底应该看重自己的感官还是思想。 他们自视不朽， 而终于要死亡。 他们聪明绝顶， 然而这份智慧只不过把他们引向愚行和无礼取闹。 他们自称是真理的唯一判官， 却在谎言中度日。 他们不乏仁爱之心， 却不惜光阴彼此仇恨， 互相损害。 他们有能力创造伟大的艺术， 却把世界弄得丑陋而...(展开全部)
