Spero che la mia passione per il passato di Roma non abbia compromesso il mio giudizio; perché credo sinceramente che nessun paese sia mai stato più grande o più puro del nostro o più ricco di buoni cittadini e nobili azioni. Livio dedicò la maggior parte della sua vita alla scrittura di circa 142 volumi di storia, i primi cinque dei quali comprendono The Early History of Rome. Con brillantezza stilistica, racconta quasi 400 anni dalla fondazione di Roma all'invasione gallica nel 386 a.C., un'epoca che vide l'istituzione della Repubblica, disordini e conflitti brutali. Dando vita a personaggi avvincenti e riproponendo storie familiari, tra cui la tragedia di Coriolano e la storia di Romolo e Remo, The Early History è un'opera veramente epica e un monito appassionato che una nazione dovrebbe imparare dalla sua storia. Tradotto da Aubrey DE Sélincourt con un'introduzione di RM Ogilvie e una prefazione di SP Oakley

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Livy (c. 59 BC-AD 17) dedicated most of his life to writing some 142 volumes of history, the first five of which comprise The Early History of Rome. With stylistic brilliance, he chronicles nearly 400 years of history, from the founding of Rome (traditionally dated to 757 BC) to the Gallic invasion in 386 BC - an era which witnessed the reign of seven kings, the establishment of the Republic, civil strife and brutal conflict. Bringing compelling characters to life, and re-presenting familiar tales - including the tragedy of Coriolanus and the story of Romulus and Remus - The Early History is a truly epic work, and a passionate warning that Rome should learn from its history.
