具体描述

Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, published between 1776 and 1788, is the undisputed masterpiece of English historical writing which can only perish with the language itself. Its length alone is a measure of its monumental quality: seventy-one chapters, of which twenty-eight appear in full in this edition. With style, learning and wit, Gibbon takes the reader through the history of Europe from the second century AD to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 - an enthralling account by 'the greatest of the historians of the Enlightenment'. This edition includes Gibbon's footnotes and quotations, here translated for the first time, together with brief explanatory comments, a precis of the chapters not included, 16 maps, a glossary, and a list of emperors.

作者简介

Edward Gibbon was born in 1737 in Putney, England, and was the only child of his parents to survive infancy. Although his education was frequently interrupted by ill health, his knowledge was far-reaching. His brief career as an undergraduate at Magdalen College, Oxford, ended when he joined the Catholic Church. His father sent him to Lausanne, in Switzerland, where, while studying Greek and French for the next five years, he re-joined the Protestant Church. In 1761 he published his Essai sur l'étude de la Littérature; the English version appeared in 1764. Meanwhile, Gibbon served as a captain in the Hampshire Militia until 1763, when he returned to the Continent. It was while he was in Rome in 1764 that he first conceived the work that was eventually to become The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

In 1774, after the death of his father, Gibbon settled in London and was elected to Parliament where he sat for the next eight years, although he never once spoke in the Commons. He also took his place among the literary circles of London. The first volume of his famous History was published in 1776; it was highly praised for its learning and style but incurred some censure for its treatment of the early Christians. The second and third volumes appeared in 1781 and the final three, which were written in Lausanne, in 1788. He died while on a visit to his friend, Lord Sheffield, who posthumously edited Gibbon's autobiographical papers and published them in 1796.

1 小引 2013年是我辞职后的创业元年,当然,也是我系统阅读西方历史的第一年。伴随着汤因比在《历史研究》里的袅袅余音,我在初略看完《全球通史》后,毅然选择了爱德华吉本的《罗马帝国衰亡史》作为我今年的主攻方向。我的幸运之处在于,罗马史的阅读与我现实的创业经...

关于罗马的历史,或者罗马帝国的历史的著作可谓汗牛充栋,而生于18世纪的英国史学泰斗爱德华·吉本所著的《罗马帝国衰亡史》在其中则当之无愧地占据了重要而显著的位置。通史性质的史书,有利于从历史的漫长这样一个角度来体味历史发展的脉络,在更大的一个尺度上找出某种规律...

这是一本久负盛名的书,但我们过去读的是大陆版的节选本,尽管编者再三说明节选的如何高明,但就同一场精彩有戏,尽管有高潮,但如果仅是高潮,决非能给初始阅读者真正的收获。基于此,这本全本的重要性就不言而喻了。 更精彩的是译者的水平,信、达、雅的典型一书。 ...

我在图书馆看了一册,的确有些译名有问题,有些地方相同名字有不同译法,不过这可能是由于编辑分工不同的缘故,并不影响阅读,至少比商务译丛里面乱七八糟的译名和繁体字要好得多。据我所知这可是大陆第一本全译本,席代岳并非是专业人士,但译作一点也不比专业的差,这...

吉本对罗马时代兼容并蓄的精神非常欣赏,因此对基督教的血腥发家史充满了嘲讽。
