书籍简介

你知道吗，胡子的历史与克里米亚战争有关；回形针的历史与史塔西有关；而泡沫的历史与法国大革命有关？又有谁知道海因里希-希姆莱、图坦卡蒙和针线活的历史和维多利亚时代的孤儿有关？

在《意想不到的历史》中，山姆-威利斯和詹姆斯-戴贝尔带领我们踏上发现之旅，处理一些伟大的历史主题--从都铎王朝到第二次世界大战，从罗马帝国到维多利亚时期--但通过完全出乎意料的主题。

通过采取这种革命性的方法，他们不仅提出了一种思考过去的新方法，而且还以罕见的方式揭示了我们周围的日常世界。

Did you know that the history of the beard is connected to the Crimean War; that the history of paperclips is all about the Stasi; and that the history of bubbles is all about the French Revolution? And who knew that Heinrich Himmler, Tutankhamun and the history of needlework are linked to napalm and Victorian orphans?

In Histories of the Unexpected, Sam Willis and James Daybell lead us on a journey of discovery that tackles some of the greatest historical themes - from the Tudors to the Second World War, from the Roman Empire to the Victorians - but via entirely unexpected subjects.

By taking this revolutionary approach, they not only present a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveal the everyday world around us as never before.
