四星半,Goldsworthy这书是相当好读,毕竟军事史专家写将军很方便的,看到篇书评说都期待G老师写个historical commentary了【虽然我对于他能否完成有点怀疑】。对史料细读是重点,这样的传统作品不多见了,但是很多时候还不如直接去读高卢战记和其他一手文献来得方便。Svetonius用得有点多,当然故事藉此可以讲得很生动,但我感觉要留个心眼。可能因为作者是军事史专家的缘故,所以对将军恺撒更为重视,而且写得非常之好,堪称当下领先;但元老、政客、政治思维等方面以及共和晚期经济文化方面略不如Canfora,这些领域,可以说是nothing new,甚至有些论述有点out of date了【参考bm书评的某些提示】,不过对于非专业读者和入门学生还是很不错的作品。
评分偉大的凯撒。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!

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.
第一部分是凯撒升职记,罗马共和机制下,很多事务的产生有其根源,像演讲辩论之于选举一样。对于罗马决策机制进行了详细描述,共和制和君主制都取决于社会发展的要求,罗马起家的共和体制有助于发挥全部的才智,扩大容错机制,增加国家的延续,但随着国家的扩大,没有现代技术...
评分近七百页的巨作,我看了一个星期,掩卷时,忍不住唏嘘,即使是凯撒这样的大帝,一生精华也不过是区区七百页,人生数十载,譬如朝露。 他在事业上背负巨债,被亲近的人背叛,最后众叛亲离,死于众人之手;他的第二段婚姻结束于妻子出轨的丑闻,一生背负同性恋绯闻,被大众嘲笑是...
评分 评分对每个人而言,真正的职责只有一个:找到自我。他的职责只是找到自己的命运——而不是他人的命运——然后在心中坚守其一生,全心全意,永不停息。所有其它的路都是不完整的,是人的逃避方式,是对大众理想的懦弱回归,是随波逐流,是对内心的恐惧。 ——黑塞的《德米安》 一直...
评分什么样的人能够改写历史?请看罗胖的解读。 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...
