Herodotus’ The Histories combines an exhilarating account of the defeat of the mighty Persian empire by a shaky alliance of Greek city-states with entertaining digressions, astonishing facts and scurrilous gossip.
It earned Herodotus the epithet ‘the father of history’ from Cicero and 2,500 years after it was written, this foundation work of Western literature remains a cornerstone of every library.
Expertly bound in sumptuous leather by Smith Settle in Yorkshire, Robin Waterfield’s outstanding translation is complemented with evocative illustrations by Nick Hayes, a specially commissioned introduction by historian Peter Frankopan, and editorial material by Carolyn Dewald.
Two-colour printing, gilded page tops, and a gold-blocked limitation tip signed by the translator, illustrator and introducer complete this exceptional limited edition of just 750 hand-numbered copies.
The Folio Society produces beautifully crafted collector’s editions of the world’s greatest books, each with unique illustrations or specially researched photographs throughout. Find books you love at foliosociety.com
