A monumental work unsurpassed for its brilliant description, accuracy, and penetrating insights, Thucydides ’ History of the Peloponnesian War is a spectacular eyewitness report of the war between Greece’s two most powerful city-states, Athens and Sparta, as it unfolded during the fifth century B.C.
The first recorded political and moral analysis of a nation’s war policies, the History is a tragic story of virtue, ambition, and failed deterrence. All aspects of the conflict—from the battlefield strategies and the political landscape to the peoples’ thoughts and feelings as the long war dragged on—are presented in startlingly vivid detail.
From the treachery of Alcibiades and the disastrous invasion of Sicily to the plague that devastated Athens and Pericles’ famous funeral oration, Thucydides has written more than a mere account of war. His History is nothing less than a classic Greek drama about the rise and fall of Athens. More than two thousand years have passed since the History was written, but its impact on modern politics, military strategy, and foreign relations has been timeless.

评分有些艰难的读完了《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》,对着《政治学说史》看了看。感觉后者有一个很重要的问题没有提及。即修昔底德对民主政治的描述,《政治学说史》中鲍罗廷提到修昔底德对民主政治的态度时只列举了民主政治在组织米诺斯的大屠杀中的作用。然而,在我看来,修昔底德主要表...

评分其实拿这么一本严肃的书耍流氓真的不是我的本意……但是修昔底德实在是太给大家面子了。 OK,基佬和女流氓们,既然你们已经来了,请翻开《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》下本的第517页,也就是第六卷的第五章,从最后一段,也就是露着小鸡鸡的哈摩狄阿斯和阿里斯托斋吞的那副图片左下角开...
评分一本名气极大的书,我在两年前到上海出差时偶然看到,本书的印刷质量很好,装帧极佳,虽然标价68大元,昂贵的让人吐血,我还是咬咬牙买了回来。说实在的,两年来,我一直都没看完,而且看的部分也是生吞活剥,不求甚解,完全不能享受到读书的快乐。 也许是个人水平有限吧,我...
