作者：JOHNSON, PAUL 出版社：PENGUIN GROUP USA 出版日期：2009年11月03日 語言：英文 ISBN：9780670021055 裝訂：精裝 內容簡介TOP 集軍人、國會議員、首相、演說家、畫家和作家於一身的邱吉爾，可以說是二十世紀最複雜也最有意思的人物之一。從擔任大英帝國的年輕軍官開始，一直到晉身老練的政治家之林，邱吉爾所展現的超強適應力與天生的戰鬥力，使他成為二十世紀最令人敬畏的一位政治領袖。擅長描述歷史人物的保羅．約翰遜，試圖用更寬廣的視野與非傳統的手法描述邱吉爾在不同階段的人生故事，當中有成功有失敗，有奇聞軼事也有如珠妙語，充分表露了邱吉爾這個人的幽默、勇氣、能屈能伸與稀奇古怪。 ★本書中譯本《邱吉爾：樂在危險的人生》由左岸文化出版 AN ACCLAIMED HISTORIAN PRESENTS A REVELATORY LOOK AT THE GREATEST STATESMAN OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FOR EMINENT HISTORIAN PAUL JOHNSON, WINSTON CHURCHILL REMAINS AN ENIGMA IN NEED OF UNRAVELING. SOLDIER, PARLIAMENTARIAN, PRIME MINISTER, ORATOR, PAINTER, WRITER, HUSBAND, AND LEADER—ALL OF THESE FACETS COMBINE TO MAKE CHURCHILL ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX AND FASCINATING PERSONALITIES IN HISTORY. IN CHURCHILL, JOHNSON APPLIES A WIDE LENS AND AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO ILLUMINATE THE VARIOUS PHASES OF CHURCHILL’S CAREER. FROM HIS ADVENTURES AS A YOUNG CAVALRY OFFICER IN THE SERVICE OF THE EMPIRE TO HIS ROLE AS AN ELDER STATESMAN PROPHESYING THE ADVENT OF THE COLD WAR, JOHNSON SHOWS HOW CHURCHILL’S IMMENSE ADAPTABILITY COMBINED WITH HIS NATURAL PUGNACITY TO MAKE HIM A FORMIDABLE LEADER FOR THE BETTER PART OF A CENTURY. JOHNSON’S NARRATION OF CHURCHILL’S MANY TRIUMPHS AND SETBACKS, RICH WITH ANECDOTE AND QUOTATION, ILLUSTRATES THE MAN’S HUMOR, RESILIENCE, COURAGE, AND ECCENTRICITY AS NO OTHER BIOGRAPHY BEFORE. WINSTON CHURCHILL’S HOLD ON CONTEMPORARY READERS HAS NEVER SLACKENED, AND PAUL JOHNSON’S LIVELY, CONCISE BIOGRAPHY WILL APPEAL TO HISTORIANS AND GENERAL NONFICTION READERS ALIKE.作者簡介保羅．約翰遜 英國知名的常民歷史學家，寫過無數暢銷的歷史書。主題遍及猶太教與基督教的歷史，影響二十世紀重大歷史發展的特定事件以及人物的刻劃，還有美國人民的奮鬥史。美國《時代》雜誌票選為2000年百大人物之一。經常為全球最著名的報紙及雜誌寫稿，包括《每日電訊報》、《紐約時報》、《華爾街日報》。著有《所謂的知識分子》（究竟）、《文藝復興》《其實我沒有砍倒櫻桃樹---華盛頓傳》（左岸）、《新藝術的故事》《創作大師的不傳之秘》（木馬）等。 PAUL JOHNSON IS AN ACCLAIMED HISTORIAN WHOSE MANY BESTSELLING BOOKS-INCLUDING MODERN TIMES, A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY-HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED INTO NUMEROUS LANGUAGES.
