Ancient Greece and Rome
by Wu Yuxi
About This Novel
This book was first published in 1957, with an original volume of 100,000 words. Among the various reading materials on Greek and Roman history, it is indeed a small book, but it is unique. The 2008 triple edition made important expansions to the content of this book. Two important articles by the author on the history of Greece and Rome and a classic translation - Selected Translation of Thucydides' "History of the Peloponnesian War" (Volume 7) have been added, and the whole book has been increased to 180,000 words. This expansion provides readers with extended reading, which helps to deepen and truly understand Greece, Rome and its ancient world. This book has been continuously updated over the past half century since its publication, continuing its life among generations of young readers. The triptych edition specially invited the author's eldest son, Mr. Wu Yu, a world history scholar, to write an article, focusing on the author's academic origins in ancient Greek and Roman history. This 5,000-word "postscript" is rich in content, full of emotions, and lifelike. At the same time, the triptych edition also fulfilled Wu Yu's wish to illustrate and accompany his father's paintings and calligraphy. In 2022, we will once again launch a new edition with a new look, adding a classical and civilized perspective when looking at the world in the 21st century.
