Book cover of 歐洲暗影:一段橫跨兩場冷戰、三十年歷史的東歐邊境之旅
by 羅柏.D.卡普蘭(Robert D. Kaplan)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: October 31, 2017

《外交政策》雜誌評選「全球百大思想家」, 《世界的盡頭》、《南中國海》、《地理的復仇》作者羅柏.卡普蘭2016年最新力作 理解俄國與歐盟紛爭的一把鑰匙,除卻2014年烏克蘭克里米亞,下一個將受到國際關注的衝突地域 本書將帶引讀者走入一個位處歐洲邊陲,歐、亞文化交融並陳的「德古拉」神祕國度——羅馬尼亞 羅柏.卡普蘭於一九七○年代初次造訪羅馬尼亞,當時他是一名年輕記者,羅馬尼亞則是共產世界中一個慘澹蕭條的偏遠國度。它位於歐洲的一個晦暗角落,鮮少受到西方人的關注;它具有攸關世局的重要性,但卻經常受到忽略。隨著那次初訪而來的,是作者畢生對這個國家的迷戀。時至今日,俄羅斯以不同方式對歐洲構成威脅,而羅馬尼亞正是理解這個局面的關鍵要素。 《歐洲暗影》行文風格明快有力,融合回憶錄、旅行誌、報導文學、歷史書寫等元素,是作者醞釀三十年而成的大師之作,完整呈現一名青年記者力求成長、一個弱勢國家奮力向上的歷程,將一個外來個體的身影與一個在地國族的命運巧妙地交織在一起。從地緣特質、帝國主義、納粹大屠殺、冷戰,到國際關係中扮演的角色,作者透過羅馬尼亞這面透鏡,檢視諸多影響深遠的議題。 在本書中,卡普蘭詳細闡明拉丁化的西歐與希臘化的東歐如何鎔冶出羅馬尼亞,以及包括拜占庭帝國、鄂圖曼帝國、奧地利哈布斯堡王朝、俄羅斯沙皇國,希特勒納粹德國、共產蘇聯,以至現代的俄羅斯與歐盟,是如何從各個方方面面影響羅馬尼亞的盛衰起伏。這是位處地緣敏感帶國家的宿命,但也是她的機會。 透過卡普蘭的筆尖,羅馬尼亞的過去與現在化成本書中一頁頁鮮活而優美的散文,讓一個又一個電影畫面般的場景躍然紙上:冷戰期間那些神情枯槁、在冷風中排隊買麵包的布加勒斯特民眾;千百年間被入侵者蹂躪成一片荒蕪的柏勒甘大草原;宏偉地矗立在外西凡尼亞及馬拉穆列什地區的哥德式教堂尖頂……卡普蘭時而同過去的偉大思想家們對話,時而與今日的羅馬尼亞民眾交談;於是我們看到,這群人是如何在這個俄羅斯重新崛起的時代,致力讓人文主義的火焰持續發光。 【國際書評】 一部聲勢浩大的文化性及政治性旅行書寫,讓羅馬尼亞錯綜複雜的過去及混沌迷離的現在鮮活地躍然眼前,展現全新的急迫性。 ——柯林.施伯龍(Colin...
Book cover of 西進的帝國:地理如何形塑美國的世界地位
by 羅柏.卡普蘭(Robert D. Kaplan)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: May 3, 2018

在走遍世界盡頭之後,卡普蘭將回到出生之地 省思在中國崛起的今天,這座「西進的帝國」將如何面對未來的挑戰 ◆美國前國務卿季辛吉、《不平靜的太平洋》作者溫契斯特、「冷戰史泰斗」蓋迪斯等一致盛讚 ◆《外交政策》雜誌「全球百大思想家」,《世界的盡頭》、《南中國海》、《地理的復仇》、《歐洲暗影》作者 《西進的帝國》以洗鍊而動人的文筆描繪從東岸到西岸的美國地景,檢驗形塑美國國力的地理特質,為美國外交政策提供貼近草根現實的思考架構。 相較於卡普蘭先前的地緣戰略論述,《西進的帝國》較具個人色彩,結合親情、回憶、鄉土情懷、愛國意識,以及個人知識體系的養成,從略具自傳性質的手法、深具抒情風格的文筆,審思美國的地位與未來。 青年時期經常奔赴美國各地進行採訪報導的卡普蘭,回顧兒時與父親四處遊歷的情景,以及當卡車司機的父親描述年輕時驅車穿梭在美國大地的故事。年幼的他已經領略到《讀者文摘》一篇故事中的父親在攜家西行時所說的「征服洛磯山」這句話的意義,那是由東往西穿越美洲大陸的旅人體會到的心境,也是美國先民開拓精神的一種寫照。 二○一五年春,作者從麻薩諸塞州自家出發,展開為期一個多月的泛美公路之旅,從東部的「垂直地景」(人口稠密區往上空發展的地景,較為閉鎖而缺乏開闊視野)馳向西部天高水長的「水平地景」。這也是作者在踏遍「世界的盡頭」之後,將畢生思索凝聚在美國大地上的一趟終極旅程。但這次他的角色不是單純的旅人,也不是在做新聞報導,而是帶著分析家的眼光,以及悄悄聆聽眾人聲音的耳朵,總結他對美國地理及歷史人文的思考,細緻分析地理因素(緯度、水文、陸地與海洋的配置、土地特性等等)對美國命運及國家投射力所造成的影響。 美國東、西各接鄰世界兩大洋,左摟歐非,右擁亞澳;密西西比河流向加勒比海,為美國開啟通往大西洋與太平洋(經由巴拿馬運河)的門徑,塑造大國命運。而美國之所以在二十世紀享有無人能望其項背的力量,一大部分是發揮先人由東往西開拓,發揮「征服落磯山」那種打天下的精神所獲的成果。 本書的撰述目的是透過一些獨特的視角,如父親年輕時的旅行記憶,歷史學者的「希望地理學」,遼闊無邊的北美荒原,以及朝中國蔓延的大海,描述美國這個世界的巨人。父親的旅行為作者提供無盡靈感;歷史學家建立必要且可操作的論述架構;荒漠代表必須克服的挑戰;西側汪洋則象徵美國的對外關係,一方面承載美國的國際責任,一方面也隱約預示不斷往西行進的巨人身影最終將在那裡逐漸消解。 在這個消解過程中,作者期許美國憑藉地理賦予的優勢,及其所造就出的影響力,在二十一世紀錯綜複雜的國際局勢中持續發揮正面的制衡力量。 【各界讚譽】 《西進的帝國》一書出色地提醒著美國地理對其戰略所帶來的衝擊。羅柏.卡普蘭最新的作品是本必讀之作,對前一本有關地緣戰略著作做了必要的補充。 ——美國前國務卿季辛吉(Henry...
