商品簡介

One of the greatest history books ever written now features a new introduction, which provides the first comprehensive overview of this seminal work for contemporary readers.


The new introduction is divided into four parts:

(A) 'The Causes of the Peloponnesian War';

(B) 'A Brief Overview of the Course of the War' (this is necessary as Thucydides' work ends abruptly in 411 BC, six years before the actual end of the conflict);

(C) 'A Biography of Thucydides'; and (

D) 'The Significance of The History of the Peloponnesian War'. This final section places the work in its broader context, explores its style, and discusses its ultimate significance for historical documentation and its relevance to the present day.


In this enduring masterpiece of historical literature, Thucydides meticulously chronicles the monumental conflict between Athens and Sparta that rocked the ancient world - The Peloponnesian War. This seminal work paints a vivid tableau of political intrigue, valorous battles, and momentous events that marked the climax of classical Greece's golden age.


Thucydides' narrative, at once scrupulously factual and profoundly insightful, traces the twenty-seven-year-long war, from its incipience to the ultimate fall of the mighty Athenian Empire. As an Athenian general himself, he provides readers with an unparalleled firsthand perspective, suffusing the account with a profound understanding of the strategic decisions, the pivotal battles, and the complex political landscape of the era.


However, "The History of the Peloponnesian War" is more than a record of historical events; it is a timeless examination of the human condition. Thucydides scrutinizes the motivations, virtues, and follies of political and military leaders, illustrating the inextricable interplay of power, fear, and ambition.


This seminal work is not just an account of war, but a thoughtful inquiry into the nature of power, the causes of conflict, and the human capacity for both nobility and cruelty. Its lessons remain strikingly relevant today, making it an essential read for historians, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the world's past to illuminate the complexities of the present.


This is not a "mass market edition" but a quality printing on white paper.
