Thucydides called his account of two decades of war between Athens and Sparta "a possession for all time," and indeed it is the first and still most famous work in the Western historical tradition. Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen, and liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, The Peloponnesian War is a mine of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Robert Strassler's new edition removes these obstacles by providing a new coherence to the narrative overall, and by effectively reconstructing the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared with his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated and revised for modern readers. The Landmark Thucydides includes a vast array of superbly designed and presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety, and numerous other useful features. In any list of the Great Books of Western Civilization, The Peloponnesian War stands near the top. This authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations.

(原載2012年4月號《文景》) 公元前431年,希臘世界爆發瞭一場規模空前的戰爭。戰爭在兩大軍事同盟之間展開,一邊是以雅典為首的提洛同盟,另一邊是以斯巴達為首的伯羅奔尼撒同盟。這兩大軍事同盟的曆史至少要追溯到約半個世紀以前乃至更早。伯羅奔尼撒同盟是斯巴達在伯羅奔...
評分十多年前譯者在接到翻譯西方學術名著《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》的任務時,心裏確實有些忐忑不安,今天的心情依然如此。古希臘文明博大精深,對於西方乃至全人類文明貢獻巨大,影響深遠。我們自知學力不濟,難以勝任。自己對於希臘的曆史和文化,充其量隻能算是個初學者。雖然近30 年...
評分 評分一個朋友,苦於兒子臨睡前要聽故事:不講孩子不上床,講瞭孩子又不叫停。“現在,我隻好每晚給他讀一段《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》。” 修昔底德會很欣慰的,他的著作竟有如此實際而溫馨的功效。而一個成年讀者,將發現來自伯羅奔尼撒的消息與現實生活的距離可以這麼近。這種“近”...
評分圖書標籤: 古希臘 曆史 修昔底德 Thucydides 政治哲學 政治學 政治 歐洲曆史
這個版本真的做得太好瞭。地圖、年代、段落總結都做得非常詳細,良心啊。
評分注釋可以看這個版本。據任軍鋒老師說,目前最好的英譯本是Jeremy Mynott翻譯的Thucydides: The War of the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, Cambridge University Press 2013年齣版
評分來美國半年讀的最認真和震撼的一本書
評分圖挺多的,偶爾也比較有幫助,翻譯質量不高,和希臘文原文差距太大。
評分四星半。精妙的書籍設計,大量比較準確的地圖、appendix的常識介紹都十分適閤初學者。Crawley的譯文自由度過大準確度也比較一般[當然修昔底德的希臘文實在是太難-_-#不是每個人都和Hornblower那樣強迫癥],常識介紹也實在有點太“常識”瞭,適閤非曆史非Classics專業學生。
