Dan Jones, "Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King, US Edition"

The New York Times bestselling author returns with a biography examining the dramatic life and unparalleled leadership of England's greatest medieval king

Henry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months and died at the age of just thirty-five, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. The victor of Agincourt, he is remembered as the acme of kingship, a model to be closely imitated by his successors. William Shakespeare deployed Henry V as a study in youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship. For one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, “the greatest man who ever ruled England.”

For Dan Jones, Henry V is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down. He was a hardened, sometimes brutal warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic, with a bookish temperament. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who misjudged his friends and family, but he always seemed to triumph when it mattered. As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, put down rebellions, and secured England’s borders; in foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more. Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses.

Henry V is a historical titan whose legacy has become a complicated one. To understand the man behind the legend, Jones first examines Henry’s years of apprenticeship, when he saw the downfall of one king and the turbulent reign of another. Upon his accession in 1413, he had already been politically and militarily active for years, and his extraordinary achievements as king would come shortly after, earning him an unparalleled historical reputation. Writing with his characteristic wit and style, Jones delivers a thrilling and unmissable life of England’s greatest king.


丹·琼斯,《亨利五世:英格兰最伟大的国王令人惊异的辉煌

美国版》

这位纽约时报畅销书作者带着对查理五世生平和无与伦比领导力的检视归来

查理五世只统治英格兰九年四个月,享年仅三十五岁,但他笼罩着中世纪末期乃至之后的历史景观。阿金库尔战役的胜利者,他被铭记为王权顶峰的人物,其 successors应以之作为效仿的典范。威廉·莎士比亚将查理五世描绘成一场青春轻率转向明智政务的研究案例。对于一位现代中世纪学者来说,查理五世“就是英格兰历史上最伟大的人。

对丹·琼斯而言,查理五世是中世纪历史上最具魅力的一个人物之一,但也是最难捉摸的人物。他是一位坚定且有时残酷的战士,但也充满创意和艺术气息,性格内向。他是犯错很多、误判朋友与家庭的人,但他似乎总能在关键时刻取得胜利。作为国王时,他拯救了一个破碎国家于经济灾难中,平息了叛乱,并稳固了英格兰边境;在外交关系上,他使英格兰再度成为严肃的玩家。然而,在他在北部法国的征服行动中,他却种下了三代人家庭战争在家中的种子。

查理五世是历史巨人的遗风已变得复杂。为了理解背后的故事,琼斯首先检视了查理在王位继承人之下的岁月,那时他曾目睹过一位国王的陨落和另一位国王的动荡统治。1413年登基后,他在政治和军事上已经活跃多年,并且很快便以君主的身份取得了非凡成就,从而赢得了无与伦比的历史声誉。他用其一贯的机智风格撰写这本书,为英格兰最伟大的国王带来了一段扣人心弦、不容错过的生命。
