broširano izdanje, dobro očuvana

One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the `Histories` describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus` natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the `Histories` offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
