Caesar pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Adrian Goldsworthy was born in 1969 in Cardiff. He was educated in Penarth and then read Ancient and Modern History at St. John's College, Oxford, where he subsequently completed his doctorate in ancient history. His D.Phil. Thesis was the basis for his first book, The Roman Army At War 100 BC - AD 200, which looked at how the Roman army actually operated on campaign and in battle.

For several years he taught in a number of universities, and began to write for a wider audience. A succession of books followed dealing with aspects of ancient military history, including Roman Warfare, The Punic Wars (which was later re-issued as the Fall of Carthage), Cannae, In the Name of Rome and the Complete Roman Army. More recently he has looked at wider themes, combining the military focus with discussion of politics and society in a biography of Caesar, and a study of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, titled How Rome Fell (although released in the UK as The Fall of the West). His latest book is a paired biography of Antony and Cleopatra.

He is now a full time writer, and no longer teaches, although he is currently a Visiting Fellow at the University of Newcastle. However, he frequently gives one off lectures and talks both to universities and other groups in the UK, USA, Canada, and Europe. In the last couple of years audiences have included local history societies, graduates and undergraduates in a range of countries, the cadets of VMI, and the distinguished cast of a new production of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. He frequently appears as a talking head or presenter in TV documentaries and has acted as consultant on both documentaries and dramas. He will appear in six of the eight episodes of the forthcoming When Rome ruled series for National Geographic. He often appears on radio.

Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the great Roman emperor’s life, Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor’s accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he was high priest of an exotic cult, captive of pirates, seducer not only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two main political rivals, and rebel condemned by his own country. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar’s character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some two thousand years later.

In the introduction to his biography of the great Roman emperor, Adrian Goldsworthy writes, “Caesar was at times many things, including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator . . . as well as husband, father, lover and adulterer.” In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines Caesar as military leader, all of these roles and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C.

什么样的人能够改写历史? 最有资格回答这个问题的人,也许就是恺撒。 他兵锋所指,战无不胜,让古罗马的疆域空前辽阔,奠定了罗马帝国几百年的领土轮廓; 他执政有力,政策切中要害,让罗马人看到了结束百年内战的希望。在他的政治遗产上,罗马共和国最终消亡,一个强盛的罗马...

让我看到哈哈笑的教科书

偉大的凯撒。本書曆史性大於文學性,背景内容的繁冗影嚮了可讀性,適於對羅馬史有了解的人閲讀。

评分

相比盐野七生老太太对凯撒略显崇拜的描述(但老太太那两本依然很棒),这位作者作为专业历史学家显得更为客观,同时也为读者展现了罗马的政治制度和现实,让人认识到凯撒的诞生和他的历史背景脱不开关系。凯撒军事才能一流,而政治上最大的错误就是没意识到大众还没准备好迎接一位皇帝,而他的仁慈成为了布鲁图等人杀死他的机会。喜欢这本传记!

评分

的确比Meier更详实 但还是Krostenko 选择Meier的原因(在关键节点上停顿下来审时度势)更深得我心。
