Guglielmo Ferrero was an Italian historian and journalist, and this book contains his Lowell Lectures, presented in 1908 at the Lowell Institute in Boston. In his first lecture, Ferrero discusses the "corruption" of customs and morals in Rome and compares this to America and Europe of his day; he then discusses key figures and events from Caesar to Nero, and finally considers the role Rome can play in education. Ferrero uses psychological, sociological, and economic lenses in evaluating the world of Rome. (Summary by Mark Harrington) (6 hr 23 min)

it's ok


(2 estrellas)

The reader does a great job but the author is all over the place. The author states at the beginning that he doesn't want to embellish and I can respect that. But he is constantly going off on side tangents that are very distracting from the subject being talked about and he comes off extraordinarily preachy. Ignore The rambling lunacy of the first comment. it's not that good.
