Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Livy, Books XXI. XXV: The Second Punic War The best known translation of Livy is, we believe, that of Baker, published in 1797. We have often consulted it, and it has, we think, considerable merits, though here and there it sinks into mere loose paraphrase. It is hardly necessary to say a word in favour of the particular selection we have made from Livy´s great work. Nowhere does his vivid and animated style appear to greater advantage than in his narrative of Hannibal´s conflict with Rome, especially in its earlier and more exciting stages, when Rome´s very existence seemed to be in jeopardy. We have translated almost invariably from the text of Madvig and Ussing, 1862. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
