(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Herodotus is not only the father of the art and the science of historical writing but also one of the Western tradition's most compelling storytellers. In tales such as that of Gyges—who murders Candaules, the king of Lydia, and unsurps his throne and his marriage bed, thereby bringing on, generations later, war with the Persians—he laid bare the intricate human entanglements at the core of great historical events. In his love for the stranger, more marvelous facts of the world, he infused his magnificent history with a continuous awareness of the mythic and the wonderful. For more than a hundred generations, his supple, lucid prose has drawn readers into his panoramic vision of the war between the Greek city-states and the great empire to the east. And in the generosity of his spirit, in the instinctive empiricism that took him searching over much of the known world for information, in the care he took with sources and historical evidence, in his freedom from intolerance and prejudice, he virtually defined the rational, humane spirit that is the enduring legacy of Greek civilization.

评分 评分这次世纪文景的徐松岩详注修订本基本可以秒杀之前商务、三联、中信等各个版本。首先封套和封面的设计与用纸都很上档次，终于可以配得上这部牛逼闪闪的西方史书之祖了。 内文用纸、印刷、字号、版式皆中规中矩。很吝啬滴加了点儿黑白图片，就跟给点铜版纸彩印能赔钱似的。 很重...
