In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. This Modern Library edition of Julius Caesar's The Gallic War and Other Writings, translated and introduced by noted classicist Moses Hadas, presents one of the foundational texts of Roman history in a clear and scholarly mid-20th century format. First published in this translation in 19…57 by Random House for the Modern Library series, the volume includes The Gallic War (Books I-VIII), The Civil War, and additional writings, along with maps of the Roman Empire and Gaul that enhance its historical context. The edition reflects Modern Library's mission to bring authoritative classical texts to a broad readership in durable and affordable form. 1957 (first Modern Library edition or very early printing.) Bound in blue cloth with the characteristic Modern Library torchbearer device and black spine label, the book remains structurally sound and visually appealing. The interior is complete and generally clean, with typical age toning to the pages. A previous owner's signature (ex-libris) appears on the front pastedown, but no other markings or marginalia are observed. The binding is firm, and the text block remains solid, making this a reliable reading or reference copy. The contents are thoughtfully arranged, covering Caesar's military campaigns in Gaul (58-50 B.C.), followed by accounts of the Civil War and related texts, offering readers both primary historical narrative and insight into Roman political and military strategy. Hadas' introduction provides valuable interpretive context, helping modern readers engage with Caesar's prose and historical perspective. Modern Library editions from this period are valued for their durability and clean typographic design. While lacking the original dust jacket, this copy remains a desirable and accessible example of a key classical work, suitable for students of Roman history, collectors of Modern Library titles, or readers seeking a dependable edition of Caesar's writings.
