书籍简介

修昔底德《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》全新译本权威性十足，令人耳目一新，并附有精彩的导读，教您如何阅读和理解《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》。

修昔底德称其著作为“永恒之宝”，他的《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》几个世纪以来一直是将军和政治家的可读之作。

罗宾·沃特菲尔德翻译了修昔底德恢弘的叙事，生动地描绘了雅典与斯巴达之间始于公元前431年、持续至公元404年的战争。这场战争不仅席卷了希腊本土，还波及了从东地中海一直到意大利和西西里岛的希腊诸城邦。作为现存的关于这场战争的当代叙事，《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》充满了军事、道德和政治方面的反思，对当今世界仍然面临的挑战——从内战的纷争到瘟疫肆虐的破坏，再到政治权力的本质——提出了批判性的评论。

修昔底德在完成这部史记之前就去世了——它结束于公元410年——但他的遗产却是永恒的。《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》是古典希腊伟大的杰作之一，它为我们提供了一个深刻而及时的窗口，让我们得以了解过去的冲突。

A definitive and refreshingly readable new translation of Thucydides’s History of the Peloponnesian War, paired with a brilliant introduction on how to read and understand Thucydides

Thucydides called his work a “possession for all time,” and his History of the Peloponnesian War has been essential reading for generals and politicians for centuries.  

Robin Waterfield’s translation of Thucydides’s sweeping narrative vividly depicts the events of the war between Athens and Sparta that began in 431 BCE and would continue until 404, a conflict that embroiled not only mainland Greece but Greek states from the eastern Mediterranean and as far west as Italy and Sicily. The only extant contemporary narrative of this conflict, Thucydides’s History brims with military, moral, and political reflections, offering critical commentary on challenges that still dominate our world today, from the strife of civil war to the devastation of widespread plague to the nature of political power. 

Thucydides died before completing the account—it ends in 410—but his legacy is timeless. One of the great masterpieces of classical Greece, The History of the Peloponnesian War offers an incisive and timely window into the conflicts of the past.
