Edward Gibbon's six-volume History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88) is among the most magnificent and ambitious narratives in European literature. Its subject is the fate of one of the world's greatest civilizations over thirteen centuries - its rulers, wars and society, and the events that led to its disastrous collapse. Here, in volumes one and two, Gibbon charts the vast extent and constitution of the Empire from the reign of Augustus to 395 ad. And in a controversial critique, he examines the early Church, with fascinating accounts of the first Christian and last pagan emperors, Constantine and Julian.
Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), English historian. It was on a visit to Rome that he conceived the idea of his magnificent and panoramic history The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (6 vol., 1776--88) which won immediate acclaim, despite some harsh criticism. Gibbon himself was assured of the greatness of his work, which is, indeed, one of the most-read historical works of modern times.

评分【本文作于多年前,系针对商务节编本而言,当时席译本未出】 中译本是根据英文节本翻译的,以篇幅而论,只合原著一小部分。节编者明言,此书是为读过原著的人准备的。我粗略地比较了中、英两种文本,感觉在没有译出的文字中,不少是很有价值的。首先是注释,作者在...
评分这是一本久负盛名的书,但我们过去读的是大陆版的节选本,尽管编者再三说明节选的如何高明,但就同一场精彩有戏,尽管有高潮,但如果仅是高潮,决非能给初始阅读者真正的收获。基于此,这本全本的重要性就不言而喻了。 更精彩的是译者的水平,信、达、雅的典型一书。 ...
蛮族入侵和宗教兴起构成了两个核心主题。在Diocletian奠定格局之后,Constantine和Julian的对题构成了后半部作品的两个高峰
