5.0 out of 5 stars
The classic history of Western civilization,
By A Customer
This review is from: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
Gibbon's work is simply the best history of any period ever written in the English language. His prose is fluid and musical, his research into the authentic source materials exhaustive and complete, and his mastery of the elements of structure and pace make his exposition eminently lucid. In short, his history combines all the elements required of historical prose: it is precise, accurate, and readable. And in addition to all this, Gibbon has given us a history of one of the most important, but least well understood periods of transition in Western civilization: bridging the gap from the end of classical antiquity to the beginning of the Renaissance. I highly recommend this masterpiece to anyone interested in the history of Europe. Whether you are an expert or a novice you will find this work both greatly entertaining and informative. A must have in any serious library!

The book is huge and It will take me a long time to finish. But I think it will be worth it. This is my review for all two books.
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Vols One and two. They are very well written and interesting despite the fact that they were written many, many years ago. |
