Description

;I set out upon Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and was immediately dominated by both the story and the style,; recalled Winston Churchill. ;I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through it from end to end and enjoyed it all....I was not even estranged by his naughty footnotes.; In the two centuries since its completion, Gibbon's magnum opus–which encompasses some thirteen hundred years as it swings across Europe, North Africa, and Asia–has refused to go the way of many ;classics; and grow musty on the shelves. ;Gibbon is a landmark and a signpost–a landmark of human achievement: and a signpost because the social convulsions of the Roman Empire as described by him sometimes prefigure and indicate convulsions which shake the whole world today,; wrote E.M. Forster. Never far below the surface of the magnificent narrative lies the author's wit and sweeping irony, exemplified by Gibbon's famous definition of history as ;little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.; The third volume contains chapters forty-nine through seventy-one of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
