DECLINE AND FALL OF - Edward Gibbon - książka
Producent: Wordsworth
Edited and introduced by Antony Lentin and Brian Norman, "Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" remains a towering achievement in English historical literature, destined to endure as long as the language itself. This monumental work, first published between 1776 and 1788, is impressive not only for its depth but also for its extensive coverage, featuring seventy-one chapters, with twenty-eight being presented entirely in this edition. Gibbon, with his engaging style, profound knowledge, and sharp wit, guides readers through the intricate history of Europe spanning from the second century AD until Constantinople's fall in 1453. Often hailed as the leading historian of the Enlightenment, Gibbon's narrative captivates with its detail and breadth. This edition enriches the original work by including Gibbon's meticulously translated footnotes and quotations for the first time. Additionally, it offers succinct explanations, summaries of the omitted chapters, 16 detailed maps, a comprehensive glossary, and a list of Roman emperors to aid readers in navigating the historical landscape.
