Synopsis "Oriental Cambridge World History Library: History of Afghanistan (in Chinese)"
"Presenting the confluence and clash of diverse cultures, showcasing the monumental transformations from prehistoric civilizations to the 21st century, and revealing how Afghanistan seeks its future amidst constraints and destruction.呈现多种文化的交汇与碰撞 展示从史前文明到21世纪的沧桑巨变 揭秘阿富汗如何在禁锢与破环中寻找未来 For a long time, Afghanistan was considered a distant and unwelcoming country, known only to its closest neighbors. This sparsely populated land managed to defend its independence throughout the era of European imperialism. Its political isolation-reinforced by a conservative tribal culture-kept much of the cultural and economic change experienced by the modern world at bay. Slowly, however, modern ways and values began to permeate the capital, Kabul.This book offers a clear and concise account of Afghanistan's history and cultural heritage from 3000 BCE to the present day, exploring the country's diverse ethnic groups, as well as its political and economic conditions. Engaging illustrations and tables are featured throughout. This work is ideal for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Afghanistan and its turbulent history.长期以来,除了最亲密的邻邦之外,阿富汗一直被认为是一个遥远且不受欢迎的国家。这个人口稀少的国家在欧洲帝国主义时代一直捍卫着自己的独立。政治上的孤立--被保守的部落文化所强化--使现代世界的大部分文化和经济变化在这里都受到了抑制。然而,慢慢地,现代方式和价值观开始渗透到首都喀布尔。本书对阿富汗从公元前3000年至今的历史和文化遗产进行了清晰、简明的描述,并探讨了这个国家的不同的民族、文化以及政治和经济状况。引人入胜的插图和表格贯穿全书。这本书非常适合那些希望提高对阿富汗及其动荡历史认识的人。Shaista WahabBorn in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, Shaista Wahab studied at Kabul University, the University of New Delhi, and the University of Nebraska, where she earned degrees in history and information science.
