Superb Classic Revived By Dr. Ehssan Sakhaee This is truly a magnificent account of the story of the life of Cyrus The Great, The founder of the Persian Empire, as narrated by two greek historians: Herodotus (philosopher & scholar) and Xenophenon (a great general) and brought to life again in Jacob Abbott's great masterpeice, with extensive commentary. A must read for all lovers of history.
20 of 22 people found the following review helpful. a fantastic book about a great king By ghalekhany The Iranians regarded him as "The Father", Babylonian as "The Liberator", Hellenes as 'Law-Giver' and the Jews as 'The Anointed of the Lord'.Cyrus The Great. The very emperor who proclaimed at the pinnacle of power 2500 years ago that "... he would not reign over the people if they did not wish it." And [he] promised not to force any person to change his religion and faith and guaranteed freedom for all. The Charter of Cyrus The Great is one of the most important documents that should be studied in the history of human rights"We promise to preserve forever the traditions of humanism and goodwill, with which you founded the Persian Empire: traditions which made our people to be the carrier of message transmitted everywhere, professing fraternity and truth."The book has 12 chapters ,first chapter is very interesting and the author writes about Xenophon and Herodotus and explains about their origins and reliability of information given by Herodotus, second and third chapters are about the birth of Cyrus the Great and his visit to Media as a young prince when his grandfather Astyages was king of Media(main source of information ,Herodotus).Chapter 4-8 describes his accession to the throne and conquest of Lydia, Babylon and liberation of Jews. Chapter 10 is about Susian captive Panthea and she was treated with dignity and respect and was reunited with her Assyrian husband Arbadates(an Assyrian general), and finally chapter 12 is about the death of the legend (most information taken from Herodotus)This is a very good book and very easy to read.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. For one of the great figures of history By Kurt I'm not sure why everyone else gave 5 stars. For one of the great figures of history, this book is very thin - less than 100 pages, and says flat out that it is not a real history, but simply a retelling of Herodotus and Xenophon's accounts - ancient histories more known for their exaggerated tales than real history. with no leavening of modern historians and scholars' learning. surely someone in the last 2000 years has something to add to these accounts. The book has no table of contents, no introduction, no footnotes, no index, no biography of the author,no bibliography- none of the hallmarks of a normal history book, and none of the aids that help it to be used as a reference. the typesetting is crowded and hard to read, and it is lacking in sufficient maps or other illustrations to help the reader understand the context of the text. There also is little to no formatting or use of whitespace. There also is no copyright or library of congress notation. The book appears to be a bootleg. Amazon's book quality has declined - this is the second time i got a bootleg version of the a real book from amazon when i thought i'd get the real book . This version is not worth it.
