送禮的藝術:從特洛伊木馬到動物園熊貓,50件外交禮物背後的世界史: Paul Brummell : 50 2007 Paul Brummell 1987

作者: 保羅.布魯梅爾(Paul Brummell) |  譯者: 鄭煥昇


       陛下想要大象或長頸鹿?鑽石還是月球岩石?
  摧毀特洛伊只要一匹木馬,阻止戰爭要靠七隻河狸?
  送什麼,如何送,處處有學問!
  禮物交換的是地位、政權、和平,還是人心?
  翻開千年贈禮史,看見國與國之間最奧妙的藝術!

  市面第一本.剖析外交送禮的歷史趣聞錄
  最會說故事的英國外交官,帶你看見不一樣的世界史
  收錄50幅外交禮物的珍貴歷史圖片

  2007年,島國格瑞那達為了一座體育館而放棄與臺灣的長年邦交,改投中華人民共和國的懷抱。招待中方大使的場館開幕儀式非常順利,直到格瑞那達皇家樂團不小心把中國國歌奏成了「三民主義」。這下可好,馬屁沒拍成,格瑞那達政府還淪為各國笑柄。

  在極為看重象徵意義、牽一髮而動全身的外交場合,好的贈禮可以拉近兩國關係,壞的贈禮輕則失禮,重則貽笑千年,影響國家存亡。同一份禮物,可以帶來理解,也可能造成誤解,但正是這些理解或誤解,塑造了我們的世界。本書收錄了多達五十則外交送禮的故事,無論是桌子、車子或銀子,還是器物、礦物與動植物,全都充滿著趣味與寓意。

  作者布魯梅爾擁有三十年外交經驗,他以幽默風趣的文筆,帶領讀者縱橫千年世界史,剖析國家贈禮的奧祕,以及每一件禮物背後的含義。無論是想增廣見聞、充實歷史知識的一般讀者,還是有志於國民外交與強化送禮手腕的現代公民,都不能錯過這本知性與樂趣兼具的讀物。

  【這本書會告訴你】
  .什麼是外交?國家為什麼需要外交?古代外交與現代外交有什麼不同?
  .送禮有什麼社會功能與意義?國家送禮與個人送禮有什麼差異?
  .歷史上有哪些成功的外交送禮?又有哪些弄巧成拙的案例?

Great value for a nicely made suit that fits athletic builds
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I got this suit for my son whole has a very athletic build (wide shoulders, smaller waist) and we were having the worst time finding a suit that for him well without looking like he was wearing his dad’s oversized suit. This suit fit really well! The vest has a nice buckle I. The back that allowed us to tighten it and cinch in the waist to make it fit nicely under the jacket. The jacket fit well and with vents on both sides of the jacket it allows for movement (and since this is for a dance that was important!) and the jacket is well lined so the structure of the jacket is great. The suit isn’t a shiny polyester material but a nice blend. It does have to be dry cleaned. This is a really nice suit or the price and since ,y son is still growing I don’t want to spend a fortune on a suit, this one works perfectly together him through dance season and next year when he’s grown even more I’ll buy this one again for him to wear for next dance season!

Way too big
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Gray
Can't really speak to the quality of the suit as it was only tried on, but the look was nice enough. Purchased based on measurements and sizing guide and it was huge. Probably could have gone 2 sizes down but didn't have time to reorder in a different size so just returned. Ordered XXL for son who is 6ft and 220lbs. He wears a large to XL in most tops and a 33x34 in most jeans. Many reviews advised to size up. He was drowning in the XXL. Color was nice light gray.

I sized down
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
This suit fit very well! And looks very sharp. It looks great with or without the jacket. I had to size down from my normal large to a medium, but as someone who’s skinny tall, I’ve always wavered between medium and large.
