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.
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.
核心提示:《上海書評》刊登瞭對席代嶽先生的訪談,談他翻譯的《羅馬帝國衰亡史》。文末席先生提及大陸讀者對他譯著的意見,其寬容的氣度令人感佩。此前,我在網絡上隨口發錶瞭對此譯本的諸多“牢騷話”,我原以為席先生正當壯年,現在纔知道卻是一位年逾七旬的長者,從人際交...
評分真想不到有這麼多的人喜歡曆史書籍! 去年聖誕節,因為價格優惠,纔買瞭這本“501本必讀之書”(英文版, first published in Great Britain by Bounty Books) - 囊括瞭兒童書籍,普通類小說,曆史類讀物,迴憶錄,科幻類,驚險小說,和旅遊類。 因為學業緊張,我最近纔讀到...
評分這是一本久負盛名的書,但我們過去讀的是大陸版的節選本,盡管編者再三說明節選的如何高明,但就同一場精彩有戲,盡管有高潮,但如果僅是高潮,決非能給初始閱讀者真正的收獲。基於此,這本全本的重要性就不言而喻瞭。 更精彩的是譯者的水平,信、達、雅的典型一書。 ...
評分關於羅馬的曆史,或者羅馬帝國的曆史的著作可謂汗牛充棟,而生於18世紀的英國史學泰鬥愛德華·吉本所著的《羅馬帝國衰亡史》在其中則當之無愧地占據瞭重要而顯著的位置。通史性質的史書,有利於從曆史的漫長這樣一個角度來體味曆史發展的脈絡,在更大的一個尺度上找齣某種規律...
Hope I can finish one volume or two by the end of the year...
