Annals
Autor Tacitus Traducere de Cynthia Damonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2012
Tacitus'Annalsrecounts the major historical events from the years shortly before the death of Augustus to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid intensity Tacitus describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that theAnnalswere written objectively, Tacitus' account is sharply critical of the emperors' excesses and fearful for the future of imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories.

Notă biografică
Tacitus,
born
in
about
AD
56
in
southern
Gaul
(modern
Provence)
under
the
emperor
Nero,
was
probably
the
son
of
an
equestrian.
He
enjoyed
success
as
a
both
a
politician
and
writer,
publishing
theAgricola(a
biography
of
his
father-in-law)
and
theGermania(an
ethnographical
study
of
the
peoples
of
Germany)
in
98.
Today
he
is
best
known
as
a
historian,
the
author
ofThe
Historiesand
theAnnals.The
culmination
of
Tacitus'
public
career
was
when
he
won
the
prestigious
post
of
proconsul
of
Asia
(112/13).
He
died
at
some
point
after
115
and
probably
lived
into
the
reign
of
Hadrian,
but
there
is
no
evidence
for
his
later
life
or
the
date
of
his
death.

Recenzii
Woodman has produced the most sophisticated English translation of Tacitus' Annals to date, one that will likely remain the standard for years to come. . . . Woodman successfully incorporates into his translation the sense and sound of the author's literary style. His deft rendering into English of Tacitus' word order and sentence structure, mimicking the ancient writer's preference for the unusual word and his propensity to employ metaphorical expressions, alliteration, and an unbalanced syntactic structure, imparts to his translation the artistic texture of this work of history. Woodman's Introduction provides an informative background to Tacitus and an explanation of how the translator has attempted to capture the artistry of the ancient historian. Annotations to the text increase understanding of events and and their participants without burdening the reader or interrupting the flow of the story. In addition to maps and a list of further readings, the work contains useful appendixes, such as a list of political and military terms and a stemma of the Julio-Claudian Emperors. Summing up: Highly recommended. Readers of all levels. --R. I. Curtis, CHOICE
An elegant addition to Tacitean scholarship. . . . The appendices are comprehensive and extremely useful for students, covering political and military terms that are cross-referenced to the text, the deployment of the army which can be confusing in the Annals, Rome, geographical and tribal names, and maps as well as a good index of names. . . . This translation has many eminently practical features, including clear layout, the use of footnotes, and numbering of the text. . . . The Introduction is very accessible and, coupled with the text, will be very useful for students. --Alisdair Gibson, Journal of Classics Teaching
This work is more than a superb translation. It is also in effect a succinct commentary on the whole of the Annals. The section in the Introduction on problems of translation is particularly valuable. --J.N. Adams, All Souls College, Oxford
