Book Introduction
Dublin: A City of Vicissitudes and Vitality
[Love] by David Dixon
Translated by Yu Guokuan and Gong Yongmei
Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House
Over the course of 1,400 years of history, Dublin has undergone great, even astonishing, changes. Around the world and in Europe, there are many cities competing with each other, but almost none have become the capital of Europe. In this book, David Dixon tells us about the formation process and characteristics of Dublin and Dubliners in this process. Dublin occupies a very unique place in Irish history as well as in the Irish imagination. When the vastness and variability of the city are chronicled, it is actually telling the story of the island of Ireland. David Dixon, as an authority on Irish history, brings us to life a vivid Dublin – from its Medieval period to the eighteenth century of the Neoclassical period. It is constantly being shaped by the people who come to the city, and it is constantly influencing these people. This is a well-documented and very unique book that brings us the history of the formation of a capital.
