十幾位誕生在1723年的人們，開展出世界史的11扇窗關於他們以及世界的故事……十八世紀的世界是這樣的，大清帝國擴張至極盛、日本江戶幕府穩定統治、越南建立新的政權、歐洲啟蒙運動勃興、美洲獨立戰爭開打、法國大革命爆發……但這些事情的影響，都不限於一時一地，而是牽動著整個世界。那是全球化初始發展的時刻，也是各地文化日益密切接觸、匯聚，並開創出現代文明的時代。《1723，世界史的11扇窗》是部全球微觀史的力作，由11位歷史學者共同創作，聚焦世界史中十幾位獨特多彩的人物──其中許多是中文世界鮮少、甚至未從研究過的。這些誕生於1723年的人們，看似生活於迥然相異的環境與文化脈絡，卻以不同形式共同參與了世界歷史的進程，留下深刻的足跡，並創造出今日的全球社會。透過他們的生命歷程，本書以新鮮甚至帶有實驗性質的形式，呈現出世代、時代與世界史的多層意義。國內外好評推薦《1723》一書，讓讀者從東至西，從中國到英國，管窺看到了十八世紀的文化、思想與政治大潮流，確實為世界史的一部佳作。──美國賓州州立大學講座教授、中央研究院院士 夏伯嘉本書收錄的論文透過研究特定人物的傳記，解釋為何一個任意的日期──1723年──可以激發歷史反思：關於世界觀認知的改變，而這些轉變既來自先前的發展，也影響未來的事件。──美國普林斯頓高等研究院教授 狄宇宙（Nicola Di Cosmo）
