Thucydides called his account of two decades of war between Athens and Sparta "a possession for all time," and indeed it is the first and still most famous work in the Western historical tradition. Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen, and liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, The Peloponnesian War is a mine of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Robert Strassler's new edition removes these obstacles by providing a new coherence to the narrative overall, and by effectively reconstructing the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared with his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated and revised for modern readers. The Landmark Thucydides includes a vast array of superbly designed and presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety, and numerous other useful features. In any list of the Great Books of Western Civilization, The Peloponnesian War stands near the top. This authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations.

評分十八年前译者在接到翻译西学名著《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》的任务时,心里确实有些忐忑不安,十八年后的今天依然如此。古希腊文明博大精深,对于西方乃至全人类文明贡献巨大,影响深远。译者自知学力不济,难以胜任。因为自己对于希腊的历史和文化,充其量只能算是个初学者。虽然三...
評分 評分有人说,一个国家在能够对外输出价值观之前不可能成为真正的大国。现代人往往赞叹雅典的民主政治与璀璨的文化,惋惜雅典为寡头政治下的斯巴达击败而未能将其光芒普及到全希腊。然而,真实的雅典帝国乃是建立于赤裸裸的暴力之上,关于这一点,无论是对内还是对外,坦率的雅典人...
評分真的要被Landmark這套書和這位編輯叔叔感動哭瞭,實在是曆史書的業界良心TAT
评分真業界良心。要是有一個這樣的史記或左傳讀本就好瞭!
评分伯羅奔尼撒戰爭
评分圖挺多的,偶爾也比較有幫助,翻譯質量不高,和希臘文原文差距太大。
评分western political thought,選段。 看到Nicia被處死的時候感到一陣心酸。
