Herodotus. Story. Moscow: AST, 2007, 700 pp., hardcover, regular format.

The book is in solid good condition, with some yellowing on the paper. Imperfections in the last photos.

The remarkable work of the famous ancient Greek historian Herodotus, conventionally called “History,” has been ranked among the outstanding works of historiography since ancient times. For many centuries, not only the scientific merits of the author were invariably highly appreciated, but also his brilliant talent as a storyteller, who managed, on the basis of a wide variety of materials - various documents, his own rich life observations, eyewitness accounts, the works of predecessors, legends, myths, traditions - to create an integral and a profound work in which documentary harmoniously combines with artistry. Alexandrian scholars divided the work into nine books according to the number of muses, and each book was named after one of them. The first four are extensive introductions and cover the history of Greece and its eastern neighbors. The last five books tell about events of the greatest world significance that predetermined the entire course of the historical process in Hellas - the Greco-Persian wars (500-449 BC). This grandiose work became the first truly historical work and gave its author the right to the honorary name of “father of history.”
