Die Geschichte des Niedergangs und Falls des Römischen Reiches von Edward Gibbon Folio
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon Published by The Folio Society in 1997 Both books and slipcases are in Excellent/Fine condition Eight volumes tracing Western civilization from the height of the Roman Empire to the fall of Byzantium; perhaps the greatest and one of the most influential history books in the English language, by an author who considered history 'little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind'. Written with wit and irony in stylish prose, peppered with salacious footnotes, and brimming with relevance to our own age of bread and circuses.
