Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, minimal bestoßen, Buchschnitt sehr leicht angeschmutzt, Bleistifteintrag auf Schmutztitel, sonst gut und sauber / binding slightly rubbed, minimally bumped, book edges very slightly soiled, pencil entry on half title, otherwise good and clean. - This powerful translation by Thomas Hobbes has long been considered the truest to the original Greek. Hobbes’s eloquent and lucid style captures Thucydides’ use of language in recreating the Athens-Sparta conflict. It is Thucydides’ special ability to portray and enliven that has provided us with the most revealing accounts of the people and events in that long war: Pericles’ funeral oration, the plague, the civil war in Corcyra, the debate between Cleon and Diodotus over the fate of Mitylene, the Melian Dialogue, and above all the ruin of the Sicilian expedition. Hobbes’s rendering of The Peloponnesian War is one of those rare translations that are works of art in their own right. David Grene’s notes clarify the few mistranslations of which Hobbes is guilty, the occasional difficulties of Hobbes’s seventeenth-century English, and passages involving facts and circumstances not familiar to those who cannot read Greek. This edition includes Hobbes’s essay "On the Life and History of Thucydides," his address to his general readers and dedicatory epistle, and a new Introduction by David Grene. Written before Hobbes’s works on political philosophy, this translation sheds light on his later Leviathan and other works and, above all, displays the intensity of the relation between the Greek historian and the seventeenthcentury philosopher. / CONTENTS Introduction by David Grene Dedication To the Readers THE FIRST BOOK THE SECOND BOOK THE THIRD BOOK THE FOURTH BOOK THE FIFTH BOOK THE SIXTH BOOK THE SEVENTH BOOK THE EIGHTH BOOK Of the Life and History of Thucydides by Thomas Hobbes Index.
