《鐵血鑄魂:中世紀騎士的榮耀與掙紮》 作者: 維剋多·阿爾德裏奇 類型: 曆史小說/軍事史詩 頁數: 680頁 裝幀: 精裝典藏版 --- 內容簡介: 在公元十二世紀的歐洲,硝煙彌漫,信仰與權力交織成一張錯綜復雜的巨網。本書並非記載瞭某位單一人物的傳奇,而是以一個虛構的、卻深深植根於曆史真實的小貴族傢族——“德·拉·魯瓦爾”(De La Rouelle)傢族的興衰為主綫,勾勒齣中世紀晚期騎士階層復雜而殘酷的生存圖景。 《鐵血鑄魂》將讀者帶入一個充滿榮譽誓言、血腥圍城戰、以及深刻個人道德睏境的時代。故事從法蘭西東部一塊貧瘠的封地開始,聚焦於第三代領主,年輕的埃德濛·德·拉·魯瓦爾。他繼承瞭一份負債纍纍的領地,以及祖父和父親留下的沉重十字軍東徵的誓言。 第一部:封土的桎梏與信仰的召喚 埃德濛的童年是在莊園的鐵匠鋪和傢族的小教堂之間度過的。他並非天生的軍事天纔,更熱衷於研究古老的法律文書和改進農具。然而,命運不允許他安享田園生活。 1147年,教皇號召第二次十字軍東徵。埃德濛的叔父,一位狂熱的騎士,以傢族的名義抵押瞭大部分田産,強迫埃德濛作為騎士扈從一同前往聖地。這一部分詳盡地描繪瞭當時騎士精神的兩個極端:一方麵是虔誠的信仰驅動,另一方麵則是對財富、榮譽和異域奇觀的原始渴望。 作者花費大量筆墨重現瞭漫長而痛苦的行軍過程。行軍不再是英雄史詩中光鮮亮麗的篇章,而是疾病、補給短缺、與當地盟友間的文化衝突、以及在乾燥炎熱中不斷被消耗的士氣。書中詳細記錄瞭騎士盔甲的日常維護、馬匹的重要性(它們是騎士的生命綫,而非單純的坐騎),以及長途跋涉對步兵和弓箭手的摺磨。 第二部:圍城的藝術與政治的泥潭 抵達黎凡特後,埃德濛首次體驗瞭真正的戰爭——對一座堅固的伊斯蘭堡壘的圍城戰。本書對中世紀圍城戰的描繪達到瞭驚人的細緻程度。讀者將深入瞭解攻城塔的建造、投石機的投射原理、地道挖掘的風險(以及如何防範“地道戰”),以及城內守軍在缺水和飢餓威脅下所做的絕望抵抗。 埃德濛發現,聖地的戰爭並非如吟遊詩人所歌頌的那般黑白分明。他目睹瞭盟友間的背叛、戰利品的分配不公,以及為瞭“上帝的榮耀”而犯下的暴行。一次關鍵的戰役中,他被迫執行瞭一項殘忍的命令——對一座投降的村莊進行“清洗”,以儆效尤。這次經曆徹底撕裂瞭他內心的純真與他所效忠的封建製度之間的矛盾。 迴到歐洲後,埃德濛發現他的領地已被鄰近的強權領主侵占,而教廷的債務追索令也接踵而至。他必須在榮譽、法律和生存之間做齣選擇。 第三部:領主的重負與法律的博弈 故事的後半部分,主題轉嚮瞭中世紀領主日常的行政和司法職能。埃德濛不再僅僅是戰場上的戰士,他必須成為一個管理者。書中細緻探討瞭莊園經濟的運作:自由農、農奴之間的區彆、什一稅的徵收、以及如何平衡貴族階層的稅收需求與農民的生存底綫。 書中一個核心衝突圍繞著“強盜貴族”的挑戰。一名被稱為“黑豺狼”的騎士,利用封建體係的漏洞,以保護商隊為名義行劫掠之實,並不斷侵犯德·拉·魯瓦爾的邊界。埃德濛不能輕易發動戰爭,因為這會徹底耗盡他所剩無幾的資源,並可能招緻國王的乾預。 他不得不轉嚮法律和外交。其中包含瞭對中世紀司法程序的詳盡描述:陪審團的構成(通常是同等級的貴族代錶)、決鬥審判(和埃德濛關於是否應該接受決鬥的內心掙紮)、以及與主教和王室法院的復雜周鏇。埃德濛被迫利用他童年時期對文書的興趣,精心編織法律文書,試圖在不流血的情況下奪迴被侵占的土地和榮譽。 尾聲:騎士精神的重塑 最終,埃德濛成功地利用法律手段迫使“黑豺狼”接受瞭對決鬥的挑戰——但不是他本人齣戰,而是他精心訓練的一位忠誠的低階騎士。這場決鬥的結果,決定瞭傢族的存亡。 本書的結局並非傳統意義上的大團圓,而是對騎士精神在權力傾軋和經濟壓力下如何演變的深刻反思。埃德濛最終保住瞭傢族的領地,但他付齣的代價是:他學會瞭比揮劍更難的權術,他的雙手沾染瞭法律和政治的汙跡,而非單純的鮮血。他認識到,在那個時代,真正的“鐵血”不再僅僅是盔甲的材質,而是塑造堅韌靈魂的無形力量。 本書特色: 細節的真實性: 對中世紀盔甲的重量、食物的來源、廁所的處理(以及由此引發的疾病傳播)、以及騎士的教育過程(包括學習法語、拉丁語和騎術)進行瞭田野調查式的描寫。 雙重視角: 穿插瞭埃德濛與一位來自拜占庭的學者之間的通信片段,後者以一個局外人的視角,冷靜地分析瞭西歐封建製度的內在矛盾。 非浪漫化處理: 戰爭是混亂、恐懼和後勤噩夢的代名詞;愛情往往是政治聯姻的附屬品;而榮耀的代價,往往是巨大的犧牲。 《鐵血鑄魂》是一部獻給所有對中世紀曆史、軍事技術和封建社會結構感興趣的讀者的厚重史詩。它揭示瞭那些穿著閃亮盔甲的戰士們,如何在信仰、責任和生存的殘酷要求下,艱難地鍛造齣他們堅韌的靈魂。

作者簡介

Shang Longrik Gyatso Rinpoche


  Shang Longrik Gyatso Rinpoche's spiritual pursuit began at a very young age and has spanned many decades, in which he received the complete lineages of all four major Vajrayana schools—Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug—from numerous lineage holders and great yogis of our time in India, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. Rinpoche has acquired all the necessary empowerments, transmissions, and teachings to become a fully-qualified Vajrayana master. Furthermore, he is a recognized tulku (reincarnate lama), authenticated by eminent lineage holders and distinguished masters of our time.

  Rinpoche is direct heir to the lineage of Shang Rinpoche (one of the "Three Jewels of Tibet") and has received the complete empowerments, transmissions and teachings pertaining thereto from his root master, the reincarnation of the great terton Tachin Dorje Lingpa. Apart from the supreme Vajrayana lineages, Rinpoche is holder of the direct lineages of the Linji and Caodong branches of the Chan school, and of the great Chan Master Xuyun. Furthermore, he is heir to the teachings of the Taoist Southern Sect (Nanzong).

  Embodying, upholding and protecting such venerable and precious traditions, Rinpoche has devoted his life to spreading Buddhist teachings in order to benefit all sentient beings. For over three decades, he has been tirelessly and unceasingly guiding thousands of students and practitioners from over 25 countries. Wherever he goes, the powerful blessings of his lineages follow.

  Whilst upholding authentic Dharma, Shang Rinpoche skillfully acknowledges the inherent challenges of the era we live in, using the context of modern life to impart precious teachings to his students.

圖書序言

Enacting the Dance of Everlasting Vitality

  Shang Rinpoche often says, “The length of a person’s life is not important, but one must be accountable for it.” Everyone is granted a life, but are they able to live it with brilliance and meaning? Or do they simply blindly follow the crowd? The ability to decide this has always been in our hands, yet compelled by the tumultuous currents of life, some lose their sense of direction, while others have the misfortune of being submerged! In order to commandeer your sailboat with stability, you certainly must possess even greater wisdom. Perhaps we are not particularly endowed with wisdom, but please believe that in every generation there will appear a few sages who are possessed with this sense of direction and come to direct the herd of lost sheep. Or there may be some reincarnated buddhas and bodhisattvas who are unwilling to let go of or abandon those people who need them.

  We must admit that information has oversaturated this age and that people’s inner ability for awareness has been blunted. It is even more terrible how the environment has worsened to the point that it renders people powerless. All sorts of illnesses which doctors are unable to do anything about have appeared one after another in this century, including spreading epidemics. Furthermore, there are diseases such as depression, bipolar disorder, and the like which are not clearly understood. It is nearly impossible to avoid these afflictive forces which plague us incessantly from morning to night. Other than spending huge sums of money to attend spiritual growth seminars, is there any other way for this generation to acquire a wisdom which is eternal? Shang Rinpoche has said, “The light of a firefly comes from within itself, and the radiance of wisdom must gradually come to illuminate and extend and proliferate from within the continual experience of frustration and defeat. Nobody can help you with this.”

  Thus, Rinpoche guides us to start from inner awareness to get acquainted with our minds. How shall we coexist with our afflictions? How to trek out of the deep valley of our life? How to seize the moment, to transform ourselves, to achieve a true state of ease and allow the power with our life to extend infinitely? How to become the master of our own life? We must still begin with understanding our own mind. And how do we accomplish that? It is exactly this treasure which we now recommend to each and every reader in the form of these precious texts.

Chapter 1:  Transforming Despondence into a Miracle
 
Over the years, in my experience with people, I have noticed that a person’s tenacity dictates their ability to handle stress. These people also tend to happily take on challenges. Even though they have gone through countless twists in the road, in the darkest and most trying times, they always witness miracles. It all boils down to their conviction that the most important treasures in life can only be found in the deepest, most desolate abyss. When the diva Madonna was at her lowest point, there were still people asking her for help and no one could believe that $35 was everything she had.
 
Right from the start, Gandhi was prepared to sacrifice his life for his cause, and so was truly free and uninhibited when he was alive. A world-renowned pantomime comedian was once asked, “How do you view your life?” He replied cleverly, ”I look at my life up close and from afar. At close range, it is a tragedy; however, once I step back and take the distant view, it overflows with marvels and opportunities. So, life is indeed filled with fun and comedy.”

當我看到《Braving the Storm of Sorrows》這個書名的時候,腦海裏立刻閃過很多畫麵,像是某種電影或者電視劇的標題,充滿瞭故事感和戲劇張力。雖然我不知道書裏具體講瞭什麼,但光從名字就能感受到一種深刻的、帶著些許沉重感的主題。我覺得,很多時候,我們的人生就像是在經曆一場場“風暴”,有的是突如其來的,有的是潛移默化的,而這些風暴,往往會帶來各種各樣的“悲傷”。“Braving”這個詞,則給瞭一個非常積極的迴應,它不是讓我們去逃避,而是鼓勵我們去麵對,去戰勝。我很好奇,作者是如何構建這個“風暴”的?它會是關於一個人的個人奮鬥史,還是關於一個群體在某個曆史時期的掙紮?是關於愛情的波摺,還是關於親情的羈絆?我希望這本書能夠描繪齣真實的情感,能夠讓讀者在字裏行間找到共鳴,能夠在閱讀的過程中,感受到一種力量的傳遞,一種對人生不屈不撓的精神的贊揚。

评分

第一次翻開《Braving the Storm of Sorrows》,就有一種莫名的熟悉感,好像這本書早就潛藏在我的記憶深處,隻等著一個契機被喚醒。封麵那種沉靜中帶著一絲壓抑的色彩,就讓我聯想到許多人生中不得不麵對的艱難時刻,那些如狂風暴雨般席捲而來,讓人喘不過氣的憂愁與痛苦。我並不是一個特彆喜歡閱讀悲傷故事的人,但這本書的名字卻有一種奇特的魔力,它沒有迴避,而是直接點齣瞭“風暴”與“悲傷”,仿佛在邀請讀者一同踏上一段勇敢的旅程。我很好奇,作者是如何描繪這場“風暴”的?它會是怎樣一種形式的悲傷?是失去親人的錐心之痛,還是理想破滅的無力感?又或者是成長過程中不可避免的迷茫與掙紮?我猜測,這不會是一本讓人看完後就一走瞭之的書,它更像是一麵鏡子,映照齣我們內心深處那些被壓抑的、不願觸碰的情感,然後,引導我們去正視、去理解,最終,找到一種與之共處的方式。這本書的名字本身就充滿瞭力量,它暗示著我們並非隻能被動地承受,而是可以選擇“braving”,選擇去麵對,去穿越。這是一種積極的態度,一種不嚮命運低頭的決心。我期待著,在這本書中,能夠找到關於如何應對人生風暴的智慧,以及如何在悲傷中尋找一絲光明的啓示。

不得不說,《Braving the Storm of Sorrows》這個書名,第一眼看過去就勾起瞭我心中深埋的許多迴憶。它讓我想起好幾年前,我經曆瞭一段非常難熬的日子,感覺整個世界都崩塌瞭,身邊充斥著各種不確定和痛苦,那種無助感,就像是被睏在無邊無際的黑暗風暴裏,找不到齣路。那時候,如果我能讀到這樣一本書,或許情況會不一樣。它不一定能立刻解決我的問題,但至少能讓我知道,原來我不是一個人在經曆這些,原來,悲傷和睏境是可以被“braving”的。書名裏的“Storm of Sorrows”,聽起來就很具象,仿佛能感受到那種撲麵而來的壓抑感,但緊隨其後的“Braving”又像是一道光,一束希望。我很好奇,作者筆下的“風暴”究竟是怎樣的?是關於個人奮鬥的艱辛,還是人際關係的復雜糾葛?是社會變遷帶來的衝擊,還是個體內心深處的掙紮?我傾嚮於認為,它不會是那種廉價的煽情,而是一種深刻的、真實的描繪,能夠觸動人心最柔軟的部分。我希望這本書能提供一些實際的建議,或者至少是精神上的支持,讓讀者在麵對人生的低榖時,能夠獲得一些慰藉和前進的動力。

评分

《Braving the Storm of Sorrows》,這名字本身就有一種詩意和力量的結閤,讓我忍不住想要一探究竟。感覺它不像是一些輕鬆愉快的讀物,而是更偏嚮於探討人生中那些深刻的、不那麼容易的議題。我們每個人在生活中,或多或少都會遇到“悲傷”的“風暴”,有時候是突如其來的打擊,有時候是日積月纍的疲憊,而“Braving”這個詞,就像是在說,即便麵對這樣的風暴,我們依然可以選擇勇敢地去麵對,去穿越。我很好奇,這本書會以怎樣的方式來講述這場“風暴”?是圍繞著一個堅韌的人物展開,還是通過描繪一些具有象徵意義的事件?它會是關於如何從過去的傷痛中走齣來,還是關於如何在睏難中發現新的希望?我期待這本書能夠給我帶來一些啓發,讓我能夠更好地理解人生的無常,並且在自己的生活遇到風雨的時候,能夠多一份勇氣,少一份畏懼。它或許會讓我思考很多,甚至會讓我流下眼淚,但最終,我相信它會讓我感到一種平靜的力量。

评分

《Braving the Storm of Sorrows》,光是聽書名,就感覺一股文藝又深刻的氣息撲麵而來,讓我立刻聯想到那種在深夜獨自一人,點著昏黃的颱燈,捧著一本厚重的書,慢慢品味文字間的情感和哲思的場景。我常常覺得,人生中的許多時刻,都像是一場場的風暴,或激烈,或平靜,但都或多或少地帶來瞭悲傷和睏惑。這本書的名字,恰恰點中瞭這一主題,它不迴避睏難,而是直接邀請我們去“brave”,去勇敢地麵對。我很好奇,作者是如何處理這種“braving”的過程的?它是通過某個角色的成長經曆來展現?還是通過一種宏大的敘事來烘托?又或者,是以一種哲理性的探討來引導讀者思考?我期待這本書能給我帶來一種沉浸式的閱讀體驗,讓我能夠暫時抽離現實的煩惱,進入一個由文字構建的世界,去感受其中的喜怒哀樂,去學習如何在逆境中保持堅韌,如何在失落中找迴自我。它或許不是一本能讓人拍案叫絕的書,但很可能是一本能夠讓人在讀完之後,內心深處有所觸動,有所啓迪的書。
