The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Complete 6 Volume Edition)
Author: Edward Gibbon
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 2145
Book Description
Edward Gibbon's monumental work, 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire', is a comprehensive six-volume narrative that chronicles the gradual disintegration of one of the greatest empires in history. Gibbon's literary style is marked by meticulous research, eloquent prose, and a critical analysis of historical events. The book provides a detailed account of political, social, and cultural factors that contributed to the downfall of the Roman Empire, making it a cornerstone of historical literature. Gibbon's work is a prime example of Enlightenment historiography, emphasizing rationality and a focus on cause and effect relationships. By drawing parallels between ancient Rome and his contemporary society, Gibbon offers valuable insights into the cyclical nature of history and the consequences of imperial overreach. Edward Gibbon, a British historian and member of parliament, wrote 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' during the 18th century, a period of intellectual ferment and philosophical inquiry. His extensive travels and scholarship provided him with the necessary expertise to undertake such a monumental project. I highly recommend this seminal work to anyone interested in Roman history, Enlightenment philosophy, and the study of empire building and decline.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume III
Author: Edward Gibbon
Publisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 0679641483
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1373
Book Description
"I set out upon Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire [and] was immediately dominated by both the story and the style," recalled Winston Churchill. "I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through it from end to end and enjoyed it all....I was not even estranged by his naughty footnotes." In the two centuries since its completion, Gibbon's magnum opus--which encompasses some thirteen hundred years as it swings across Europe, North Africa, and Asia--has refused to go the way of many "classics" and grow musty on the shelves. "Gibbon is a landmark and a signpost--a landmark of human achievement: and a signpost because the social convulsions of the Roman Empire as described by him sometimes prefigure and indicate convulsions which shake the whole world today," wrote E.M. Forster. Never far below the surface of the magnificent narrative lies the author's wit and sweeping irony, exemplified by Gibbon's famous definition of history as "little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind." The third volume contains chapters forty-nine through seventy-one of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Pages : 4689
Book Description
“The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” traces Western civilization (as well as the Islamic and Mongolian conquests) from the height of the Roman Empire to the fall of Byzantium in the fifteenth century. The six volumes cover the history, from 98 to 1590, of the Roman Empire, the history of early Christianity and then of the Roman State Church, and the history of Europe, and discusses the decline of the Roman Empire among other things. Gibbon offers an explanation for the fall of the Roman Empire, a task made difficult by a lack of comprehensive written sources, though he was not the only historian to attempt it. According to Gibbon, the Roman Empire succumbed to barbarian invasions in large part due to the gradual loss of civic virtue among its citizens. He began an ongoing controversy about the role of Christianity, but he gave great weight to other causes of internal decline and to attacks from outside the Empire.
