antická literatura v anglickém překladu `The story I now commence is rich in vicissitudes, grim with warfare,
torn by civil strife, a tale of horror even during times of peace.'
Edward Gibbon called The Histories
an `immortal work, every sentence of which is pregnant with the deepest
observations and the most lively images'. Its author, Cornelius
Tacitus, widely acknowledged as the greatest of all Roman historians,
describes with cynical power the murderous `Year of the Four Emperors'
- AD 69 - when in just a few months the whole of the Roman Empire was
torn apart by civil war. The ultimate triumph of Vespasian and
his sons Titus and Domitian was only the prelude to further conflicts
and disasters, with revolts among the Germans and Jews challenging the
very foundations of Roman authority.
W. H. Fyfe's classic translation has been substantially revised to
accord with modern scholarship, and supplied with extensive historical
and literary notes. The Introduction provides an essential guide to
understanding the subtleties of Tacitus' writing, and sets the
historical scene with a succinct account of the political and social
background to the Imperial Roman state. Maps of the Roman Empire and a
Glossary of Place Names complete this valuable edition.
