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.
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.

評分我在Amazon上下过kindle免费版的原著,但由于我目前有关罗马的知识储备不足,还没有能力很流畅地阅读,与其花耗大量精力硬啃,不如先看一册中文译本,作一下铺垫。 我选的中文译本是由席代岳老先生所译。因为是本着学习大量英文名词的目的来看待这套译本,所以,对我而言,书中...
評分这本书的翻译坏到了不可思议的地步。不要说信达雅这些东西,基本的语法都不同,英文里的从句原封不动地变成中文,结果结构混乱不堪,一个长句子可以没有一个主语,也可以有七八个主语。从句和主句结构不分。读起来让人憋气。 我就不理解:哪怕粗略一翻,就会发现无数读不通的病...
