Description
Beautiful Leather-bound Collector'sEdition of ** Thucydides: The History of the Peloponnesian War ** ************************************************************************ Condition: EXCELLENT / NEAR FINE Published by Franklin Library in 1978 Bound in GENUINE LEATHER Hubbed Spine with SMYTH-SEWN BINDING Accented in 22 kt GOLD Printed on Acid-neutral, archival quality paper to last generations *************************************************************************** Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the long life-and-deaths struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling its author's ambitious claim. Thucydides himself (c.460-400 BC) was an Athenian and achieved the rank of general in the earlier stages of the war. He applied thereafter a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this factual record of a disastrous conflict.
