Historia de la guerra del Peloponeso VII-VIII

With Thucydides begins the political and critical history, an austere and analytical history in contrast to the broader and more colored perspective of Herodotus. The History of the Peloponnesian War soon becomes the paradigm of the historical narrative that aims to accurately narrate the events of a war that shook the Greek world and the political upheavals of the time itself, and then infer its causes and consequences in a deep plane. Thucydides' historical vision, his analysis and his reflection are an unforgettable document, "classical" in the strictest sense of the term. With this fourth and last volume, the complete edition that Gredos dedicates to this inescapable chronicle of an era that put an end to the splendor of Athenian society culminates.
