THE SECRET HISTORY OF DANTE(OLD TITLE: THE SACRED HISTORY)
Book ID/图书代码： 03540013B62245
English Summary/英文概要： From the author of the cult bestseller The Secret History of the World comes a fascinating look at the way in which angels have shaped our world.
Angels have always permeated myths, folklore and religious testament, from Greek mythology to the Bible stories. In this book, Jonathan Black highlights the involvement of angels in the most prominent of these stories and shows how angels have shaped our perception of the world since its creation.
With the help of Black’s expert analysis, we are able to glean new understanding from familiar spiritual tales. Through them, we see how angels have worked and sometimes fought to make us what we are and to help us experience life in the way we do. Sometimes angels are right at the centre of the story, sometimes they seem almost invisible, but these stories all show how angels are ever-present, constantly shaping our lives and the world around us.
Like The Secret History of the World, this is a subjective history of the world far removed from the materialistic account with which we are more familiar. This is an exploration of what it feels like to be a part of seismic historical shifts as told through the great sacred stories that live on in the human psyche.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 由宗教畅销书籍《世界隐秘史》的作者所写，带领我们审视天使塑造世界的方式。
天使总是弥漫着神秘，出现在民间传说和宗教，希腊神话和圣经故事中。在这本书中，乔纳森•布莱克集锦了在这些故事中最突出的天使们，并展示了天使如何塑造我们对世界的看法。
与布莱克的专家分析下，我们能够从熟悉的宗教故事里获得新认识。通过它们，我们能看到天使如何工作，有时为了塑造我们而斗争，有时帮助我们以自己的方式体验生活。有时候天使就是故事的核心，有时他们几乎是隐形的，但这些故事都说明了天使是永远存在的，并不断地塑造我们的生活和我们周围的世界。
和《世界的隐秘史》一样，这是一个主观的世界历史，远远偏离了我们所熟悉的唯物主义解释。通过永存人类心中的神圣故事，探索了在震撼世界的历史转折中，他们充当了什么角色。（LNL）
