lgli/Edward Gibbon (author); Hans-Friedrich Mueller (editor) - The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (2003, Random House).epub

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Modern Library Classics) Edward Gibbon (author); Hans-Friedrich Mueller (editor) Modern Library; Random House, Modern Library classics, Modern Library paperback edition, New York, 2003

Edited, abridged, and with a critical Foreword by Hans-Friedrich Mueller Introduction by Daniel J. Boorstin Illustrations by Giovanni Battista Piranesi Edward Gibbon’s masterpiece, which narrates the history of the Roman Empire from the second century A.D. to its collapse in the west in the fifth century and in the east in the fifteenth century, is widely considered the greatest work of history ever written. This abridgment retains the full scope of the original, but in a breadth comparable to a novel. Casual readers now have access to the full sweep of Gibbon’s narrative, while instructors and students have a volume that can be read in a single term. This unique edition emphasizes elements ignored in all other abridgments—in particular the role of religion in the empire and the rise of Islam. This first volume covers the last two hundred years of the Roman Empire leading up to its collapse.

A Sort of Conscience : The Wakefields Philip Temple Auckland University Press, 1, 20131001

This in-depth portrait of the Wakefield family, who played such a major role in British overseas settlement in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in the 19th century, is written with a novelistic flavor, using personal letters and journals to bring to life this group of talented but morally complex individuals whose exploits spanned the globe, and who remain an indelible part of British colonial history.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Volumes 1-3 of 6 (Everyman's Library) Edward Gibbon; with an introduction by Hugh Trevor-Roper Alfred A. Knopf; Distributed by Random House, Inc., Everyman's Library, New York, New York State, 1900

The first three volumes of Gibbon's DECLINE AND FALL (the western empire) were published by Everyman in 1993. Volumes 4-6 complete the set which is now available for the first time in many years. This year is the bicentenary of Gibbon's death, which has been widely noticed in the press, but even after two hundred years his book is still an authoritative work on Roman history. What is more, it remains wonderfully readable: witty, elegant and intriguing, full of the author's own personality. The six-volume Everyman edition - the only complete one now available-prints the entire text of the book with all Gibbon's own notes, later editorial commentaries, maps, tables, descriptive tables of contents, indices, appendices and two magisterial essays on the author and his work by Hugh Trevor-Roper.

A Country Between : The Upper Ohio Valley and Its Peoples, 1724-1774 Michael N McConnell; American Council of Learned Societies Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, 1992

"McConnell shows admirable sensitivity to the plight of the Ohio refugees but not only as they were victims of circumstance. He portrays their changing but constant struggles to preserve a boundary between themselves and advancing Europeans. . . . McConnell eschews romanticism. This is history as it happened."-Journal of American History. "An excellent account of Indian diplomacy in the late Colonial period."-Choice. "McConnell makes a significant contribution to ethnohistory by chronicling with unprecedented precision the history of frontier interactions in the Upper Ohio Valley."-Ethnohistory. "A well-written, judicious and thoughtful study supplying an essential perspective to our understanding of the colonial period . . . obligatory reading for all interested in the early history of Ohio and Pennsylvania."-Ohio History. "Solid history, recommended to all who wish to learn more about Ohio's Indian heritage."-Northwest Ohio Quarterly. The Ohio Country in the eighteenth century was a zone of international strife, and the Delawares, Shawnees, Iroquois, and other natives who had taken refuge there were caught between the territorial ambitions of the French and British. A Country Between is unique in assuming the perspective of the Indians who struggled to maintain their autonomy in a geographical tinderbox. Michael N. McConnell is an associate professor of history at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Histoire de la décadence et de la chute de l’Empire romain - 01 - Rome de 96 à582 Gibbon,Edward Maradan, Histoire de la décadence et de la chute de l’Empire romain #1, 1812

« C'est à Rome, le 15 octobre 1764, alors que je méditais dans les ruines du Capitole et que les moines chantaient vêpres, pieds nus dans le Temple de Jupiter, que l'idée d'écrire l'histoire du déclin et de la chute de la Ville éternelle se fit jour en moi pour la première fois. » C'est par cette simple mais célèbre phrase que Gibbon relate dans ses Mémoires les instants d'inspiration qui devaient décider de sa vie d'historien. Son grand thème, c'est en effet Rome, la Ville éternelle, ou l'on peut contempler « non pas les reliques de la superstition, mais celle de l'Empire » ; c'est aussi la dégénérescence d'institutions exemplaires sous le double effet du despotisme et de la superstition ; c'est la victoire de l'Église sur l'Empire ; c'est enfin les grandes leçons de l'histoire qui se méditent silencieusement quand les ténèbres gagnent les ruines ou reste ensevelie une civilisation entière. Tout cela, Gibbon le dit en écrivain autant qu'en historien. En poète, même. Il érige à la gloire de Rome un livre aussi rigoureusement équilibré qu'un temple antique ; mais en même temps, il laisse se noyer d'ombre les vastes portiques qu'il édifie. C'est sa façon de partager le goût du temps pour la mélancolie des ruines ; mais cette tentation ténébriste, il s'en sert pour exprimer son pessimisme face à l'avenir de la civilisation des Lumières, menacée, comme jadis celle de Rome, par la montée des masses humaines qui feront désormais l'histoire.
