medicine 's review for:
Picked up during the Yale fall sale.
Far too enjoyable, had a blast. All of the upsides of ancient history - unique characters, carved into memory like marble, yet remembered slightly differently person to person, source to source, yet dealt with entirely in absolutes. Sallust also likely the greatest narrator considering the irony of his history before becoming a historian. Guy's talking about how Caesar and Cato were the only two good men of his generation while, before writing this, he participated in indirectly ruining one and relied upon the other's dictatorial powers to pardon him from excessive corruption and extortion.
Still really good narratives and speeches written in this, the translator's introduction alone has some brain food and discussions on legacy.
