From the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides, a new Landmark Edition of The Histories by Herodotus, the greatest classical work of history ever written.

Herodotus was a Greek historian living in Ionia during the fifth century BCE. He traveled extensively through the lands of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and collected stories, and then recounted his experiences with the varied people and cultures he encountered. Cicero called him “the father of history,” and his only work, The Histories, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. With lucid prose that harks back to the time of oral tradition, Herodotus set a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day.

In The Histories, Herodotus chronicles the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city-states. Within that story he includes rich veins of anthropology, ethnography, geology, and geography, pioneering these fields of study, and explores such universal themes as the nature of freedom, the role of religion, the human costs of war, and the dangers of absolute power.

Ten years in the making, The Landmark Herodotus gives us a new, dazzling translation by Andrea L. Purvis that makes this remarkable work of literature more accessible than ever before. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps, this edition also includes an introduction by Rosalind Thomas and twenty-one appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, covering such topics as Athenian government, Egypt, Scythia, Persian arms and tactics, the Spartan state, oracles, religion, tyranny, and women.

Like The Landmark Thucydides before it, The Landmark Herodotus is destined to be the most readable and comprehensively useful edition of The Histories available.

读这本书使我想起来当年看金庸小说的情景,很多地方我几乎是一口气连读下去,大有手不释卷的感觉。 本来抱着一种学习的态度,没想却变成了一件消遣的乐事,实在大出意外。 希罗多德讲故事的天才绝对独步古今。几十万字的大块头著作,说穿了就是一个大故事,故事里面套故事,层...

读希罗多德《历史》的札记——目录(连载中) http://liptontea.bokee.com/4778571.html 网上偶然看到关于此书的札记,顿觉惊艳。 转一个别人的评价:   这位“立顿红茶”先生是上海交大的教师,湖北武汉青山人,今年34岁,他的《读 希罗多德〈历史〉的札记》水准之高,都...

希罗多德这本书曾遭到不够严谨,混入了许多不真实的奇闻怪谈的批评。但在我看来,这却恰恰是其一个优点,即事实丰富,颇具趣味。不像《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》虽然足够严肃,但读起来终归有些枯燥。 读古希腊的历史,不能孤立的来看它。而作为地中海文化圈的一个部分,古希...

这次世纪文景的徐松岩详注修订本基本可以秒杀之前商务、三联、中信等各个版本。首先封套和封面的设计与用纸都很上档次,终于可以配得上这部牛逼闪闪的西方史书之祖了。 内文用纸、印刷、字号、版式皆中规中矩。很吝啬滴加了点儿黑白图片,就跟给点铜版纸彩印能赔钱似的。 很重...

是历史亦是散文,各种耳熟能详的典故的出处:梭伦论死后的幸福,马拉松战役,斯巴达三百勇士(如果波私人的弓箭能遮天蔽日,那我们就能在影子下作战了),阿多尼斯的墓地,开满了有六十片花瓣的玫瑰,以及,为自由的战争

评分

这本和Strassler的Thucydides、Xenophon,注解详尽,排版完美,地图丰富而标示细致,总之对于各种水平的读者诉求、兴趣、关注点都体贴入微,是最好的古希腊历史读本,没有之一!最接近的中国历史著作,大概是杨伯峻先生注的《左传》了(只可惜该版本缺乏地图、照片)。

landmark系列都好!
