Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics :
All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. 0in 0in 0pt">The world's first great narrative history, Herodotus 's The Histories vividly describes how the Greeks—few in number, poor, and disunited—managed to repulse a massive invasion by the powerful Persian army in the 5th century b.c. This amazing upset victory changed the course of western civilization, as the cities that led the resistance—Athens and Sparta—became the two major powers on the Greek mainland. The remarkable period that followed introduced revolutionary ideas about democracy, education, philosophy, drama, and—thanks to Herodotus—the writing of history.
A wonderful storyteller, Herodotus filled the Histories with amusing anecdotes and dialogue, human details about the lives of important political figures, and a kaleidoscope of viewpoints from people of many lands. Magnificent in compass and enormously entertaining, the Histories is not only the leading source of original information for Greek history during the all-important period between 550 and 479 b.c., but also an artistic masterpiece that created a new genre of literature.
Features maps of several noted battles, index of proper names, and a general index.

評分我时常有一种时光倒错感,这种感觉在阅读历史书籍的时候犹为强烈。比如,我正在阅读远古时期的一场战场,我会感觉它就发生在不久以前,而我童年的一些经历却好象是发生在很久以前的事了。如果我们把一次次阅读也当成一场场梦,如果我们的梦不会醒来,我们是无法分清它和现实之...
評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...
評分事物之间必有联系,是人类各种文明穷尽其自身一切可能预设的认识论前提,也是一种本体论承诺。而如何更容易更清晰地发现并厘清事物之间的联系,则决定了不同文明可能达到的高度与广度。也就是说,不同文明能够达到的层次,一方面依赖于其持续时间的长久,另一方面也仰仗于梳理...
