'The greatest historian that ever lived' Such was Macaulay's verdict on Thucydides (c. 460-400 BC) and his history of the Peloponnesian War, the momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems that lasted for twenty-seven years from 431 to 404 BC, involved virtually the whole of the Greek world, and ended in the fall of Athens. Thucydides himself was a participant in the war; to his history he brings an awesome intellect, brilliant narrative, and penetrating analysis of the nature of power, as it affects both states and individuals. Of his own work Thucydides wrote: 'I shall be content if [my history] is judged useful by those who will want to have a clear understanding of what happened - and, such is the human condition, will happen again ...It was composed as a permanent legacy, not a showpiece for a single hearing.' So it has proved. Of the prose writers of Greece and Rome Thucydides has had more lasting influence on western thought than all but Plato and Aristotle. This new edition combines a masterly translation with comprehensive supporting material.

評分又懶得開電腦寫公眾號瞭(常年如此),在這裏整理一下第一天讀修昔底德《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》的讀書筆記。作為兩韆多年前的曆史學傢,修昔底德的記錄、見識和方法在今天仍有強大的生命力。而“修昔底德陷阱”這個詞今年因全球局勢動態再度流行就是一個例證。 以下即使帶引號的也...
評分看到第七捲。西西裏遠徵。傾盡整個帝國力量的遠徵軍全軍覆滅。 撤退的時候,描寫跟著軍隊被撤走的士兵看到被遺棄的活人,“全軍上下淚水漣漣”。我不禁也是泫然欲泣瞭。——看曆史的時候,我總是難以像平常那樣産生共情的,畢竟兩韆多年前的事件,如果沒有修昔底德或者其他史傢...
評分在大學第一學期的《外交學概論》課上,老師說學這個你們讀好三本書就行瞭,修昔底德的《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》,漢斯摩根索的《國傢間政治》和肯尼斯沃爾斯的《人、國傢與戰爭》。當時不知所然,也沒想過找來讀讀。直到今天纔算都翻過瞭,還不敢說讀過。 而真正激發我讀...
