David Grene, one of the best known translators of the Greek classics, splendidly captures the peculiar quality of Herodotus, the father of history.
Here is the historian, investigating and judging what he has seen, heard, and read, and seeking out the true causes and consequences of the great deeds of the past. In his History, the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and all the more general features of the civilizations of the world of his day are seen as a unity and expressed as the vision of one man who as a child lived through the last of the great acts in this universal drama. His personality, formalized as witness, reader, and commentator, is integrated into the report which attends on all the events and through which they live for future times.
In Grene's remarkable translation and commentary, we see the historian as a storyteller, combining through his own narration the skeletal "historical" facts and the imaginative reality toward which his story reaches. Herodotus emerges in all his charm and complexity as a writer and the first historian in the Western tradition, perhaps unique in the way he has seen the interrelation of fact and fantasy.

好书!!!真好看呐。。。
评分印象最深:Solon认为一个人死亡之前,不能够说这个人幸福(blessed),如果他/她拥有财产,圆满家庭,只能说明这个人lucky。只有death才能确定人是否blessed,而在此之前,自负地认为自己blessed,可能会有致命后果。
评分价格跟企鹅差不多,装帧好不少。

评分It's like writing a review of the Bible, ridiculous and egotistic. But this translation and edition is pretty good, although not good enough. A truly useful and ideal translation should provide more background information and commentary, help reader to build up the concept and understanding of the world which Herodotus wanted to preserve.
由于年代的问题,本书中许多翻译并不与现行大部分翻译统一。 举例来说,本书中提到西拉库赛,现行翻译一般是叙拉古;神庙戴尔波伊,现行翻译一般是特尔斐;波斯国王克谢尔克谢斯,现行翻译一般是薛西斯等等。 需要读者多加注意。
评分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...

评分这是一部描述希波战争(公元前6-5世纪)背景和过程的历史书,下面是这本书的梗要笔记: 作者在书的开头就出了这些问题: 为什么要写这本书? 为什么要打仗? 谁先开始打的? 这个”谁”是如何产生的? 跟随希罗多德,我来到希波交界处的吕底亚。在这里,坎道列斯为...
