简介：BBC“电视史上的里程碑”，当代艺术历史最具雄心壮志的纪录片拍摄工作，由著名艺术历史学家克拉克爵士担任编剧与主持，探讨西欧文明，而爵士更在本片中界定了人类文明发展中的几个重要阶段。《文明的轨迹》历时两年才拍摄完毕，剧组跨越13个国家，曾走访百多个城市拍摄，本纪录片首年播出时更被喻为电视史上的代表作。克拉克爵士引人入胜的对白，再加上欧洲地标动人画面，带领我们探索自罗马帝国沦亡至工业革命用其后的文明发展。这种通过艺术、音乐来呈现历史观点的做法，成为日后无数纪录片看齐并努力超越的基准。"KennethClark’ssumptuous,magisterial,one-manserveyoftheachievementsofbumanisticcivilisationisaTVlandmark"ThedailymailIn1966BBCTelevisionembarkedonitsmostambitiousdocumentaryseriestodate.TheeminentarthistorianLordClarkwascommissionedtowriteandpresentanepicexaminationofWesternEyuopeanculture,definingwhatheconsideredtobethecrucialphasesofitsdevelopment.Civilisation:ApersonalViewbyLordClarkwouldbemorethantwoyearsinthemaking,withfilminginover100locationsacross13countries.Thelavishserieswashailedasamasterpiecewhenitwasfirsttransmittedin1969.FromthefalloftheRomanEmpiretotheIndustrialRevolutionandbeyond,Clark’scompellingnarrativeisaccompaniedbybreathtakingcolourphotographyofEurope’sgrearestlandmarks.This"historyofideasasillustratedbyartandmusic’remainstheb
