Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Vols 4-6: Volumes 4,5,6 The Eastern Empire (Everyman's Library CLASSICS)

good package and condition

Good quality, hardback edition of a classic text. Well worth the cost.

These everyman hardbacks are very good value and, if treated well, will last for many years. Quite frankly, the quality is simply excellent, and to me they are treasured possessions. As for the the content, well it is an extremely difficult read. Like many books written centuries ago, I think they not only used grammar differently from us, but also thought differently. It seems to some extent one has to adopt the mindset of the author/times. The author also seems to assume that the reader has a very wide knowledge, referring in a matter-of-fact manner to individuals, whom, I suspect, he assumes we are already familiar with. I suppose I show my ignorance, but this is part of learning. Will I learn to love it? I don`t know, but I will persevere, and perhaps become more educated in the process.

Having previously listened to the abridged version as an audiobook, I decided to take the plunge and buy the series as a gift for a history buff.This is a beautifully bound version of one of the best-known guides to the growth of Western Civilisation. It’s a heavy set of books so the electronic version is easiest to manage but this is great as a present for the bookshelves.

I once read some excerpts from this classic of the english literature, being retired and withe (a little more!) time on my hands I decided to read the complete work.It is a very interesting read, not only as regards the roman empire but to have a larger reflection on politics and humanity.

These books were bought as a present for my partner. He is very pleased with the condition of the books and is enjoying reading them. They were just what he wanted and is happily onto book 5.

Excellent product, brilliantly written.

Excellent set of books.This is something everyone should have on their reference shelf.
