Abstract

In one of the most important works of historical scholarship of the last century, Peter Laslett gave a chilling sketch of The World We Have Lost. The book built on the recent advances in historical demography and family reconstitution to describe a preindustrial society where the Grim Reaper was omnipotent, with average life expectancies at birth of 20-35 years, high infant mortality, cruelly interrupted marriages, and many orphaned children. It was a fitting antidote to romantic views of a past where everything was somehow comfortably better. For the ancient world, such family reconstitutions were impossible for lack of suitable sources.

在上世纪最重要的历史学术著作之一中,彼得·拉斯莱特(Peter Laslett)对《我们失去的世界》(the World We Have Lost)做了一个令人不寒不栗的概述。这本书以历史人口学和家庭重构的最新进展为基础,描述了一个工业化前的社会,在那里,死神无所不能,出生时的平均寿命为20-35岁,婴儿死亡率高,婚姻被残酷地打断,许多儿童成为孤儿。这是一种合适的解毒剂,可以消除对过去的浪漫看法,在过去,一切都变得舒适而美好。对于古代世界来说,由于缺乏合适的来源,这种家庭重建是不可能的。
