The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire : a One Volume Abridgement

Descrição: While Gibbons literary brilliance and ironic power are always praised, it should not be forgotten that The Decline and Fall remains, despite subsequent research, a masterly history, a bridge, as Mme. Necker said, between the ancient and modern worlds. The present selections do justice to both aspects of Gibbons greatness.Gibbon divided his volumes equally between the three centuries from Marcus Aurelius to the fall of the West, and the thousand years that followed to the capture of Constantinople. In this abridgement greater space is given to the first and, historically speaking, most valuable half. Capa dura com sobrecapa. Capa e miolo em bom estado. Sobrecapa com sinais de manuseio. 924 págs
