책 소개

Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling the author's ambitious claim that the work "was done to last forever." The conflicts between the two empires over shipping, trade, and colonial expansion came to a head in 431 b.c. in Northern Greece, and the entire Greek world was plunged into 27 years of war. Thucydides applied a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this exhaustively factual record of the disastrous conflict that eventually ended the Athenian empire.

워낙에 명작 고전이라서 구매했습니다. 기대됩니다.

[qk********]

영어 공부겸 샀습니다.

진정한 역사의 시작? 패배를 돌아보고 무엇이 문제였는지 사실에 기반해서 과거를 기술. 펭귄 클래식 번역은 평이한 것 같음

[da*******]

읽어야 하는 것은 기본이고 공부해야하는 텍스트

[re****]

영어 공부에 도움이 돼요

문체가 헤로도토스의 역사와는 완전 다르네요. 간결하지만 단조롭긴 해도 내용은 정말 좋습니다. 번역도 좋은데 캠브리지판을 사서 다시 읽어 볼 예정입니다.
