Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), English historian. It was on a visit to Rome that he conceived the idea of his magnificent and panoramic history The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (6 vol., 1776--88) which won immediate acclaim, despite some harsh criticism. Gibbon himself was assured of the greatness of his work, which is, indeed, one of the most-read historical works of modern times.

真想不到有这么多的人喜欢历史书籍! 去年圣诞节,因为价格优惠,才买了这本“501本必读之书”(英文版, first published in Great Britain by Bounty Books) - 囊括了儿童书籍,普通类小说,历史类读物,回忆录,科幻类,惊险小说,和旅游类。 因为学业紧张,我最近才读到...
评分【本文作于多年前,系针对商务节编本而言,当时席译本未出】 中译本是根据英文节本翻译的,以篇幅而论,只合原著一小部分。节编者明言,此书是为读过原著的人准备的。我粗略地比较了中、英两种文本,感觉在没有译出的文字中,不少是很有价值的。首先是注释,作者在...
评分我在Amazon上下过kindle免费版的原著,但由于我目前有关罗马的知识储备不足,还没有能力很流畅地阅读,与其花耗大量精力硬啃,不如先看一册中文译本,作一下铺垫。 我选的中文译本是由席代岳老先生所译。因为是本着学习大量英文名词的目的来看待这套译本,所以,对我而言,书中...

评分说实话,西方人写的历史著作我一般不爱看,一来西方人写得太细了,一来懂得外语的翻译者,却不是一个合格的中文书写者。而吉本这部书,如果一定要我评价,我认为只有司马迁的《史记》可相提并论。罗马帝国在西方历史上,如汉唐之于我国。而罗马之分裂和中国的持久统一,构...

Edward Gibbon's six-volume History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88) is among the most magnificent and ambitious narratives in European literature. Its subject is the fate of one of the world's greatest civilizations over thirteen centuries - its rulers, wars and society, and the events that led to its disastrous collapse. Here, in volumes one and two, Gibbon charts the vast extent and constitution of the Empire from the reign of Augustus to 395 ad. And in a controversial critique, he examines the early Church, with fascinating accounts of the first Christian and last pagan emperors, Constantine and Julian.
