這是一本暢銷近百年的通俗曆史讀本,曾被譯為幾十種語言。房龍從人文主義的立場齣發,以生動睿智的語言探尋瞭人類精神上“不寬容”的根由,解析瞭人類為尋求思想的權利所走過的艱辛曆程,勾勒瞭一幅波瀾壯闊的人類思想解放史。它以曆史上的重大事件和重要人物為綫索,以社會和人物是否寬容為標尺,以輕鬆幽默的方式揭示齣真理,主張寬容與和平,倡導思想解放,是關於寬容和自由思想的經典之作。
房龍在書中要說的道理很簡單,他說:“大凡為寬容而戰的人,不論彼此有何不同,但有一點是一緻的:他們的信仰總是伴隨著懷疑;他們誠實地相信自己是正確的,卻又從不能使自己的懷疑轉化為堅固絕對的信念。”
無論普通讀者還是專傢學者,都可以從本書獲得啓發和閱讀快感。
目前國內的同類圖書品種中,主要是中文版,英漢雙語版不多,本書采取英漢雙語形式齣版,讓讀者在閱讀經典作品的同時,亦能提升英文閱讀水平。

精彩書摘
In the year 527 Flavius Anicius Justinianus became ruler of the eastern half of the Roman Empire.
This Serbian peasant (he came from Uskub,the much disputed railroad junction of the late war) had no use for“book learning.”It was by his orders that the ancient Athenian school of philosophy was finally suppressed. And it was he who closed the doors of the only Egyptian temple that had continued to do business centuries after the valley of the Nile had been invaded by the monks of the new Christian faith.
This temple stood on a little island called Philae,not far from the first great waterfall of the Nile. Ever since men could remember,the spot had been dedicated to the worship of Isis and for some curious reason,the Goddess had survived where all her African and Greek and Roman rivals had miserably perished. Until finally,in the sixth century,the island was the only spot where the old and most holy art of picture writing was still understood and where a small number of priests continued to practice a trade which had been forgotten in every other part of the land of Cheops.
And now,by order of an illiterate farmhand,known as His Imperial Majesty,the temple and the adjoining school were declared state property,the statues and images were sent to the museum of Constantinople and the priests and the writing-masters were thrown into jail. And when the last of them had died from hunger and neglect,the age-old trade of making hieroglyphics had become a lost art.
All this was a great pity.
If Justinian ( a plague upon his head!) had been a little less thorough and had saved just a few of those old picture experts in a sort of literary Noah's Ark,he would have made the task of the historian a great deal easier. For while (owing to the genius of Champollion) we can once more spell out the strange Egyptian words,it remains exceedingly difficult for us to understand the inner meaning of their message to posterity.
And the same holds true for all other nations of the ancient world.
