Krátký popis

The father of history, as Cicero called him, and a writerpossessed of remarkable narrative gifts, enormous scope, andconsiderable charm, Herodotus has always been beloved by readerswell-versed in the classics. Compelled by his desire to preventthe traces of human events from being erased by time, Herotodusrecounts the incidents preceding and following the Persian Wars. Hegives us much more than military history, though, providing thefullest portrait of the classical world of the 5th and 6thcenturies. Translated by Robin Waterfield, a distinguishedtranslator whose version of Plato's Republic has been described as`the best available', this readable new translation is supplementedwith expansive notes to help the reader appreciate the book indepth.
