Moses Hadas, Edward Gibbon, Mitch Horowitz, "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: A Modern Abridgment by Moses Hadas"

The Classic History of Rome’s Fall From Glory in an Unparalleled Abridgment and Reintroduction

Few historical works encompass the pathos, drama, and meticulous detail of Edward Gibbon’s extraordinary record of Rome’s demise, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which the English historian issued in six volumes from 1776 to 1789.

In 1962, classics scholar Moses Hadas produced an extraordinary―and long out-of-print―modern abridgment of Gibbon’s landmark, opening its pages to the broadest possible range of readers. Now, Hadas’s gloriously readable digest is available once more―with a new and wide-spanning introduction by PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz and an appendix of aphorisms from the book.

An artform in itself, “Hadas’s effort is among the finest of any abridged works in English,” Mitch writes in his introduction. “His condensation exposed this vital book to many readers who would have otherwise bypassed it. Hadas intrepidly identified and distilled a narrative throughline in Gibbon’s six volumes, reducing more than 1,000,000 words―not counting nearly half as many more in source notes―to fewer than 100,000 words.”

In its sweeping yet concise arc of history, this abridgment of Decline and Fall covers a span of almost 1,500 years from the time of Trajan in 180 A.D. to the siege of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. “Its theme,” Hadas writes, “is the most overwhelming phenomenon in recorded history―the disintegration not of a nation but of an old and rich and apparently indestructible civilization.”

In his introduction, Mitch clarifies historical confusions, such as the highly unorthodox form of early Christianity to which the Emperor Constantine converted in the early fourth century and the syncretic nature of Roman―and modern―religious traditions.

For readers eager to experience Gibbon’s brilliant primary historicism, to understand the long decline of Rome―and the reasons for the Empire’s demise―there exists no better or more accessible condensation of Decline and Fall.

英文|国际标准图书编号：1722507195|2024|EPUB | 364页|786KB 摩西·哈达斯、爱德华·吉本、米奇·霍洛维茨，“罗马帝国的衰落：摩西·哈达的现代删节” 罗马光辉灿烂的经典史：前所未有的删节与重新介绍 很少有历史著作能像爱德华·吉本（Edward Gibbon）在1776年至1789年期间分六卷出版的《罗马帝国衰亡史》（the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire）那样，对罗马灭亡的非凡记录，充满悲情、戏剧性和细致的细节。 1962年，经典学者摩西·哈达斯（Moses Hadas）对吉本的里程碑进行了非同寻常的现代删节，并向尽可能广泛的读者开放了页面。现在，哈达斯的可读性极佳的摘要再次可用，其中包括笔会奖得主历史学家Mitch Horowitz的一篇新的、内容广泛的介绍，以及该书中的格言附录。 米奇在引言中写道：“哈达斯的作品本身就是一种艺术形式，是英语删节作品中最好的作品之一。”。“他的浓缩将这本重要的书暴露给了许多读者，否则他们会绕过它。哈达斯勇敢地识别并提炼了吉本六卷书中的一条叙事主线，将100多万字（不包括源注释中近一半的文字）减少到不到10万字。” 在其全面而简洁的历史弧线中，这部《衰落与衰落》的删节涵盖了从公元180年图拉真时代到1453年奥斯曼土耳其人围攻君士坦丁堡的近1500年。哈达斯写道：“它的主题是有史以来最压倒性的现象——不是一个国家的解体，而是一个古老而丰富、显然坚不可摧的文明的解体。” 在引言中，米奇澄清了历史上的困惑，例如君士坦丁皇帝在四世纪初皈依的早期基督教的高度非正统形式，以及罗马和现代宗教传统的融合性质。 对于那些渴望体验吉本辉煌的原始历史主义，了解罗马长期衰落以及帝国灭亡原因的读者来说，没有比《衰落与衰落》更好或更容易理解的凝练了。
