The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Volume 2, Part 2
Product Description
[This is Part 2 of a 2 part audiobook CD library bound edition of Volume 2.]
Famous for its unflagging narrative power, fine organization, and irresistibly persuasive arguments,
The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire has earned a permanent place of honor in historical literature. Gibbon's elegantly detached erudition is seasoned with an ironic wit, and remarkably little of his work is outdated.
This SECOND VOLUME covers 395 A.D. to 1185 A.D., from the reign of Justinian in the East to the establishment of the German Empire of the West. It recounts the desperate attempts to hold off the barbarians, palace revolutions and assassinations, theological controversy, lecheries and betrayals, all in a setting of phenomenal magnificence.
About the Author
EDWARD GIBBON (1737-1794), an English historian and Member of Parliament, had little formal education. He went to Oxford, but was forced to leave when he converted to Roman Catholicism. His family then sent him to Lausanne, where he was reconverted to Protestantism. His most important work,
The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was published in six volumes between 1776 and 1788.
