本书跨越3000年，从米诺斯克里特岛的诞生到罗马朱里亚·克劳狄王朝的灭亡，这是一部初次通过女性视角讲述古代世界历史的宏伟巨著。 几个世纪以来，男性一直在书写充斥着军阀、皇帝和国王的古代历史。但当谈到克利奥帕特拉和布狄卡以外的女性时，作家们更倾向于描写神话中的女英雄，而不是现实生活中的女英雄。虽然佩内洛普和特洛伊的海伦仍然活在人们的想象中，但她们现实生活中的对应人物却被边缘化了。 在《失落的线索》中，黛西·邓恩颠覆了这一传统，将历史上的女性置于叙事的中心。书中展现了早期被提及的作家恩赫杜安娜、诗人萨福以及保卫城市免遭攻击的特勒西拉。书中还展现了希波战争中仅有的女性统帅阿尔特米西亚，以及奥运会初位女性胜利者西尼斯卡。 克利奥帕特拉或许更为知名，但马克·安东尼的妻子富尔维娅也曾为他参战。许多其他女性至今仍默默无闻，却也不可或缺。通过对史料的全新考证和生动的...(展开全部)

The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westwards on its axis, it now turns to the east. For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure a...(展开全部)

There are many stories we can spin about previous ages, but which accounts get told? And by whom? Is there even such a thing as "objective" history? In this lively and thought-provokin...(展开全部)
