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.

在《历史》一书开头,希罗多德便开门见山地发表了那段传诸后世,并为后人不断释读的名言。 从这段话语中可以看出,希罗多德希望写就的这部“历史”记载的双方分别为希腊人和异邦人(或译作“蛮族”,主要指的是波斯人),所述内容是双方的丰功伟绩以及纷争原因。因此,...

我时常有一种时光倒错感,这种感觉在阅读历史书籍的时候犹为强烈。比如,我正在阅读远古时期的一场战场,我会感觉它就发生在不久以前,而我童年的一些经历却好象是发生在很久以前的事了。如果我们把一次次阅读也当成一场场梦,如果我们的梦不会醒来,我们是无法分清它和现实之...

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...

Herodotus' Histories is such a fun history book and story book!

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)。
