The Histories Tapa dura - 2014
de Herodotus; Tom Holland (Translator); Introduction by Paul Cartledge
Resumen
One of Western history’s greatest books springs to life in Tom Holland’s vibrant new translation
Herotodus of Halicarnassus—who was hailed by Cicero as “the father of history”— wrote his Histories around 440 BC. It is the earliest surviving work of nonfiction and a thrilling narrative account of (among other things) the war between the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states in the 5th century BC.
Including a wealth of information about ancient geography, ethnography, zoology, comparative anthropology, and much else, The Histories is also filled with bizarre and fanciful stories, which award-winning historian Tom Holland vividly captures in this major new translation— highlighting Herodotus’s superb story-telling gifts, and displaying his delightful curiosity alongside his flair for riveting epic drama. Featuring an introduction and notes by Professor Paul Cartledge, a trans¬lator’s preface, an index of significant per¬sons and places, maps, and a supplementa¬ry index, this translation makes Herotodus irresistible reading once more.

Reseñas en medios
Praise for The Histories:
“Lively, engaging version of the Histories…[an] admirable translation”
–The Economist
Praise for In the Shadow of the Sword:
"Written with flamboyant elegance and energetic intensity, Holland delivers a brilliant tour de force of revisionist scholarship and thrilling storytelling with a bloodspattered cast of swashbuckling tyrants, nymphomaniacal empresses and visionary prophets. The book is unputdownable."
—The Times of London
Praise for Rubicon:
"Tom Holland has produced in one volume the crispest and most compelling account of this momentous period I have ever read."
—The Seattle Times
Praise for Persian Fire:
"Excellent... Holland is a cool-headed historian who writes no less authoritatively and engagingly on classical Greece than he did on ancient Rome in his last book, Rubicon"
—Mary Beard, The Sunday Times
