The Peloponnesian War - Thucydides - Folio Society - 1994 1st edition - VGC

Description: The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides, translated by Benjamin Jowett, edited and annotated by Chris Scarre, with 24 pages of prints, paintings, maps, drawings and photographs. Quarter purple-red series binding, lilac cloth boards with a Greek warrior design in red-brown, map endleaves. Dark red slipcase. 25.2 x 17.6 cm. 548 pp. A plague so devastating it destroyed belief in the gods; prisoners of war worked to death in quarries; statesmen debating military action with chilling pragmatism… The horrors, dilemmas and costs of war have never been examined more urgently or more rigorously than by the Athenian general Thucydides, who recorded the seismic conflict between democratic Athens and authoritarian Sparta that engulfed the Greek world for a generation from 431 BC. In language of unorthodox beauty, Thucydides reveals how the same patriotic pride and self-belief that had repulsed the Persians years before brought Athens to the brink of annihilation. The History of the Peloponnesian War – one of the ‘most heart-rending and yet coldly analytical accounts of calamity ever written’ – speaks with stark immediacy to future generations of their most fundamental challenges and concerns. Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description. Will wrap and pack very carefully. Will post worldwide. Any questions please ask.
