书籍简介

一部丰富生动的英国第二大城市历史。“曼彻斯特今日之所想，即英格兰明日之所想。”早在曼彻斯特为世界带来工业、喜剧、音乐和体育巨头之前，它曾是罗马帝国的马穆齐姆要塞，一座国际化的都市。但曼彻斯特真正在世界舞台上留下印记，是作为工业革命的“震撼之城”。这座城市建立在勤劳和创新的基础上，数字时代也从这里开始，世界上第一台存储程序计算机“Baby”的诞生也绝非偶然。

曼彻斯特既激进又富有革命性，一直以来都是政治的温床。彼得卢惨案在英国民间传说中永垂不朽，这座城市也是宪章运动等先锋运动的中心。妇女参政论者埃米琳·潘克赫斯特就来自这里，这座城市至今仍珍视其任性的独立性。

曼彻斯特充满活力的个性也体现在其艺术创作中，为世界带来了安东尼·伯吉斯、L.S.劳瑞、珍妮特·温特森、Joy Division 和绿洲乐队。几乎在任何地方提到联队或曼城，你都能找到粉丝和评论。

迄今为止，这座宏伟的城市尚无历史记载。这部出自畅销书《北方人》作者之手的作品，讲述了一个不断演变的城市及其杰出人民的故事。

A rich and vivid history of Britain's second city through the people who made it ‘What Manchester thinks today, England thinks tomorrow.’ Long before Manchester gave the world titans of industry, comedy, music and sport, it was the cosmopolitan Roman fort of Mamucium. But it was as the ‘shock city’ of the Industrial Revolution that Manchester really made its mark on the world stage. A place built on hard work and innovation, it is no coincidence that the digital age began here too, with the world’s first stored-program computer, Baby.

A city as radical as it is revolutionary, Manchester has always been a political hotbed. The Peterloo Massacre is immortalised in British folklore and the city was a centre for pioneering movements such as Chartism. Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst hailed from here and the city still treasures its wilful independence.

Manchester’s spirited individuality has carried through into its artistic output too, bringing the world Anthony Burgess, L.S. Lowry, Jeanette Winterson, Joy Division and Oasis. Mention United or City almost anywhere and you’ll find fans, and opinions.

Until now, this magnificent city did not have its definitive history. From the author of the bestselling Northerners, this work of unrivalled authority and breadth tells the story of a changing place and its remarkable people.
