Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

This is the esteemed one-volume abridged edition of Edward Gibbon’s monumental The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, carefully edited by the eminent historian D. M. Low. First issued by Harcourt, Brace and Company in the mid-20th century, this volume offers a masterfully condensed presentation of Gibbon’s narrative, maintaining the essential political, cultural, and philosophical insights that made the original a cornerstone of Enlightenment historiography. Features include decorative map endpapers titled The Roman Empire in the Time of the Antonines, scholarly commentary by Low, and double-column formatting for accessibility. The original dust jacket is present, though chipped and torn at edges; the red cloth binding with gilt spine lettering remains sturdy. A compelling addition to any classical studies, world history, or Enlightenment philosophy collection.

Descrizione dello Store

Welcome to The Hidden History of Books, where every volume has a story waiting to be rediscovered. As a retired librarian with a background in scholarly research and book provenance, I specialize in rare books and first editions that span all genres — from the overlooked and obscure to the culturally iconic. My inventory is carefully sourced from estate sales and private collections, with a focus on books that carry the quiet weight of time, ownership, and intellectual legacy. I believe a book’s value lies not just in its content or rarity, but in the lives it has touched along the way — authors, owners, annotators, and collectors. That belief informs everything I do. You can count on: Conservative grading — no surprises, no exaggerations. I highlight flaws openly and describe condition with care. Detailed listings with a focus on historical and bibliographic context when available. Fast, safe shipping using USPS Media Mail and secure packaging to protect your purchase. Whether you’re a collector, a scholar, or a fellow lover of forgotten shelves, I invite you to browse the catalog and uncover the hidden histories that live between the covers.…
