Synopsis "The Histories (Penguin Classics Deluxe)"

"Unquestionably the best English translation of Herodotus to have appeared in the past half-century." --The Times Literary Supplement In Tom Holland's vibrant translation, one of the great masterpieces of Western history springs to life. Herodotus of Halicarnassus--hailed by Cicero as the "Father of History"--composed his histories around 440 BC. The earliest surviving work of nonfiction, The Histories works its way from the Trojan War through an epic account of the war between the Persian empire and the Greek city-states in the fifth century BC, recording landmark events that ensured the development of Western culture and still capture our modern imagination. Beautifully packaged in a Penguin Classics Deluxe edition with a comprehensive array of tools to guide first-time readers and experts alike, this accessible translation makes Herodotus fresh and irresistible once more. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Una bella edición de una lectura indispensable para todo amante de la Antigua Grecia, la cual sin embargo se encuentra bastante lejos de ser una "edición Deluxe" (de lujo). Mis problemas con el libro: - En ningún lado se indica que la edición trae "deckled edges" (bordes decorados), lo que me hizo pensar en un principio que las hojas venían cortadas de manera dispareja por un error de fábrica (en algunos casos parece ser el caso de todas formas). - Las hojas son de buena calidad, pero los bordes decorados hacen que se doblen con facilidad por el lado del "decorado". - Algunas hojas traen pequeñas manchas como de tinta que no impiden la lectura y hasta pequeños cuadrados negros similares a aquellos que imprimen las impresoras al hacer pruebas de impresión - La portada es muy linda, pero el material del que está hecha se dobla y pierde el color con facilidad. Está (en mi opinión) por debajo en calidad de los Penguin Classics normales.
