In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Sehr gut. 159 p.: Ill. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / a good and clean copy without markings. - Tacitus is arguably the most significant writer of the Roman imperial period. His acerbic wit and sharply focused moral vision inform all his writings, but his unique voice is perhaps best known to us through his two historical narratives. The first of these, the Histones, depicts the disastrous civil wars which exploded in AD 68-9, ruthlessly articulating events which became a source of national shame, while the Annals chillingly documents the murky principates of the Julio-Claudian emperors from Tiberius to Nero. Tacitus is driven throughout by his desire to reveal escalating corruption and selfish ambitions and to demonstrate how and why such a debased world evolved after the death of the emperor Augustus. His so-called 'minor works' (the Agricola, Germania and Dialogus) uncompromisingly lay the foundations for these historical narratives, exploring the concept of decline in different areas of Roman life. This book sets Tacitus clearly in context, surveying all his compelling works and clarifying the traditions of ancient writing that informed and shaped his narratives. It also traces how his works have been used and abused in subsequent eras, focusing particularly on the colourful rebel leaders Julius Civilis from the Histories, who had a lively afterlife in the Netherlands, and Arminius from the Annals, who captured the creative imagination of writers in Germany. The wit and wisdom of Tacitus remain all too relevant to our contemporary world, as readers inspired by this book to read his works for themselves will discover. / Contents Preface List of Illustrations 1.
