nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'the glory of wealth and physical beauty is fluid and fragile; but virtue is held brilliant and eternal'
The
Roman historian Sallust lived through troubled times. He deplored the
moral and political decline of the Republic, and in his two monographs
he set out to exemplify the reasons for the years of civil strife. Catiline's Conspiracy
is an account of the rebellion against the state led by the disaffected
Catiline. For Sallust it was 'especially memorable because of the
unprecedented nature of the crime and the danger it caused'. Rome's
fight against the king of Numidia in The Jugurthine War is a
graphic depiction of power struggles in Rome and brutal battles in
Africa that eventually resulted in the capture of Jugurtha.
Sallust's
abrupt and distinctive style is the perfect vehicle for his moral
urgency, bitter condemnation, and satirical cynicism. This new
translation, which also includes Sallust's fragmentary Histories,
captures his effects in an accessible English idiom, and provides a
comprehensive introduction to his work as history and literature.
