Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. The Classic History of Romes Fall From Glory inan Unparalleled Abridgment and ReintroductionFew historical works encompass the pathos, drama, and meticulous detail of Edward Gibbons extraordinary record of Romes demise, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which the English historian issued in six volumes from 1776 to 1789.In 1962, classics scholar Moses Hadas produced an extraordinaryand long out-of-printmodern abridgment of Gibbons landmark, opening its pages to the broadest possible range of readers. Now, Hadass gloriously readable digest is available once morewith a new and wide-spanning introduction by PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz and an appendix of aphorisms from the book.An artform in itself, Hadass effort is among the finest of any abridged works in English, Mitch writes in his introduction. His condensation exposed this vital book to many readers who would have otherwise bypassed it. Hadas intrepidly identified and distilled a narrative throughline in Gibbons six volumes, reducing more than 1,000,000 wordsnot counting nearly half as many more in source notesto fewer than 100,000 words.In its sweeping yet concise arc of history, this abridgment of Decline and Fall covers a span of almost 1,500 years from the time of Trajan in 180 A.D. to the siege of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Its theme, Hadas writes, is the most overwhelming phenomenon in recorded historythe disintegration not of a nation but of an old and rich and apparently indestructible civilization.In his introduction, Mitch clarifies historical confusions, such as the highly unorthodox form of early Christianity to which the Emperor Constantine converted in the early fourth century and the syncretic nature of Romanand modernreligious traditions.For readers eager to experience Gibbons brilliant primary historicism, to understand the long decline of Romeand the reasons for the Empires demisethere exists no better or more accessible condensation of Decline and Fall.
