The Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.E.) was the greatest "disturbance" in Greek history to that time. The bitter rivalry between the two chief city-states, Athens and Sparta, and their respective allies ended with the ruin of Athens' naval hegemony and what the Greek historian Thucydides (ca. 460-400 B.C.E.) called a "convulsion" affecting all humankind. With the detachment of a clinician and the dramatic skill of a poet, Thucydides recreates the often savage events of the war and brings to life its chief protagonists: Pericles, Nicias, Cleon, Alcibiades, and others. The first of the "scientific" historians, Thucydides makes use of documentary material and relies on eyewitness accounts; even where direct documentary evidence is lacking, his keen understanding of human nature helps him to uncover the truth of what actually happened. The loftiness of its ideals, its painstaking research, and its beauty of expression have made the History of the Peloponnesian War a work that is in the author's own words, "a possession for all time."

评分看到第七卷。西西里远征。倾尽整个帝国力量的远征军全军覆灭。 撤退的时候,描写跟着军队被撤走的士兵看到被遗弃的活人,“全军上下泪水涟涟”。我不禁也是泫然欲泣了。——看历史的时候,我总是难以像平常那样产生共情的,毕竟两千多年前的事件,如果没有修昔底德或者其他史家...
评分一个朋友,苦于儿子临睡前要听故事:不讲孩子不上床,讲了孩子又不叫停。“现在,我只好每晚给他读一段《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》。” 修昔底德会很欣慰的,他的著作竟有如此实际而温馨的功效。而一个成年读者,将发现来自伯罗奔尼撒的消息与现实生活的距离可以这么近。这种“近”...

评分一辈子都读不完(literally)的老修啊。。
评分Grene 編輯的 Hobbes 英譯是上選。他注意到原譯刪改或不佳處並加附注,還有霍布斯另外編寫的修昔底德生平等極富價值,有助於當代讀者理解歷史評價的變遷…
