The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Volume 2 [平装]

 

 

我要写评论

gibbon的这本书前后有三种版本，
1、一个是他自己写的自己注释的，bury补注的7卷本，很有知名度。
2、一个是后来everyman`s library出版的6卷本，Hugh Trevor-Roper, ed., 6 volumes (New York: Everyman's Library, 1993–1994). from the Bury text and with Gibbon's own notes, but without Bury's, many of which are superseded by more recent research.
but now nearing age 100, the historical analysis/commentary is dated。
3、还有一个当然是这个David Womersley, ed., 3 volumes.了。先出了3卷的精装后，赚了钱。现在市面上大多都是平装本
The current essential edition, the most faithful to Gibbon's original text. The ancient Greek quotations are not as accurate as in Bury, but an otherwise excellent work with complete footnotes and bibliographical information for Gibbon's cryptic footnote notations[citation needed]. Includes the original index, and the Vindication (1779) which Gibbon wrote in response to attacks on his caustic portrayal of Christianity. The 2005 print includes minor revisions and a new chronology.

上大学的时候老师就说学英语的人都应该看看这本书。 本身的开本不大，很方便携带。说的是历史，文笔不是一般的流畅和漂亮。实在是学英语路上不可或缺的一本书籍。如果是英语专业还没有看过这本书的，推荐都来看一下。只是现在比较多的是Volume 2， 卓越上Volume 3要三四个月才能送过来，Volume 1也很少，希望能够多备点货。让好书能够广为流传。
