About This Item
London: The Folio Society, 1998 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Hardcover - Deluxe Reprint. Large 8vo. No Dust Jacke, As Issued. xvii (ii), 507 pp, introduction, list of b&w illustrations, maps, 14 Chapters, afterword, afterword to the third German paperback, index. Introduced by Peter Jones. Translated from the German by David McLintock This translation is published by arrangement with HarperCollins Publishers, 1998. "Though Meier's account of Caesar's life lacks learned apparatus --- footnotes, sources, discussion of academic problems --- it is still a work of superb scholarship. Master of all the evidence, Meier also feels for his hero perhaps more passionately than anyone else, and wants to know what drove Caesar to act as he did, and where the historical sources are silent or ambiguous, Meier does not hesitate to construct a psycholgy of this fascinating man, an almost poetic, at times romantic, account of Caesar's very thought processes." Lacking Slipcase, cover forecorner tips slightly turned, else, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Green cloth with copper portrait on front board, copper lettering to spine, and map on endpapers..
