Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Peloponnesian War History is a historical account of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), which was fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens) It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian historian who also served as an Athenian general during the war. His account of the conflict is widely regarded as a classic and regarded as one of the earliest academic works in history. The story is divided into eight books. Analysis of history generally occurs in one of two fields. On the one hand, some scholars see work as an objective and scientific piece of history. JB Bury's judgment reflects this traditional interpretation of History as "severe in its detachment, written from a purely intellectual point of view, without moral judgments and charges, cold and critical."On the other hand, according to the most recent interpretations that are associated with criticism of the reader's response, History can be read as a literary piece rather than an objective record of historical events. This vision is embodied in the words of WR Connor, who describes Thucydides as "an artist who skillfully responds, selects and organizes his material, and develops his symbolic and emotional potential."
