The Histories pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Here is the first new translation for over thirty years of Polybius' Histories , the major source for our knowledge of the Eternal City's early rise to power, covering the years of the Second Punic War, the defeat of Hannibal, and Rome's pivotal victories in the Mediterranean. Polybius, himself a leading Greek politician of the time, attributes Rome's success to the greatness of its constitution and the character of its people, but also allows Fortune a role in shaping world events. This new translation by Robin Waterfield includes the first five books in their entirety, and all of the fragmentary Books 6 and 12. Brian McGing's lucid introduction discusses the period covered by the Histories , Polybius' major role in the reconstruction of Greece after the defeat of the Achaean League, the themes and subject matter of the individual books, Polybius' outspoken views on how (and how not), and his significance for historiography. The book also includes succinct, clear notes, maps, a glossary, and an index of proper names.

发现和另外一本搞错了……
评分这本整体看来还是翻译得很谨慎【有极个别的地方把什么philos symmachos之类的混起来有点无奈】。只收了前六卷和十二卷部分残篇,残篇不大全。主要是Walbank实在是太好用了所以相比别的几本oxford,实用性不够高吧。。。

评分上海三联本想出波里比阿的《通史》译本,现在也没有任何结果。希望有出版社引进,出简体字版。译者曾在英国念古典学的博士。
评分本书是一部史学名著,可惜国人不太知道。 作者波里比阿是古希腊人,后因战争失败,作为贵族人质被带到罗马,以后成了小西庇阿的家庭教师,亲眼看到迦太基文明被彻底征服。迦太基曾是地中海的王者,古希腊字母即源于迦太基,如果说波里比阿初期还不太看得起“野蛮的”罗马人,...
评分大陆的罗马史研究基本上处于初级阶段,语言能力不行,没几个学者会拉丁语,材料也丰富,基本上靠啃欧美学者的二手材料做研究,很多问题研究的不深入细致。 ...
