《史记》是我国第一部纪传体通史，为“二十四史”之首。全书一百三十卷，其记载始于传说中的黄帝，迄于汉武帝时期，被誉为“史家之绝唱，无韵之离骚”。 1959年，在毛泽东、周恩来等国家领导的指示下，顾颉刚先生领衔整理的《史记》点校本出版，以其分段精善、校勘审慎、标点妥贴，有关技术处理得当，成为半个世纪以来最为通行的《史记》整理本，中国历史典籍整理标志性成果。 此修订本历时8年，是二十一世纪最新学术成果和学术水准的集中体现。

A seminal work as melodious and haunting as the era it chronicles, now reissued with a new introduction. First published in 1968, Weimar Culture is one of the masterworks of Peter Gay's distinguished career. A study of German culture between the two wars, the book brilliantly traces the rise of the artistic, literary, and musical culture that bloomed ever so briefly in the 1920s amid the chaos of Germany's tenuous post-World War I democracy, and crashed violently in the wake of Hitler's rise to power. Despite the ephemeral nature of the Weimar democracy, the influence of its culture was profound and far-reaching, ushering in a modern sensibility in the arts that dominated Western culture for most of the twentieth century. Vivid and eminently readable, Weimar Culture is the finest introduction for the casual reader and historian alike. "[A]n enormously rich, intriguing, and exciting essay.... A major contribution to the study..."— The New York Times 16 black and white illustrations
