O ovoj e-knjizi
Tacitus' 'Germania' is a seminal work that delves into the cultural practices, social structures, and geographical features of the ancient Germanic tribes. Written in a concise and analytical style, this ethnographic account provides valuable insights into the mindset and way of life of the Germanic people, as observed by the Roman historian. The book also serves as a comparison between the perceived barbarism of the Germanic tribes and the civilization of the Roman Empire. Tacitus' vivid descriptions and detailed analysis make 'Germania' a significant historical document that continues to be studied by scholars and historians interested in the ancient world. Tacitus, known for his historical works on the Roman Empire, was likely motivated to write 'Germania' by a desire to understand and document the customs and traditions of the Germanic tribes, as well as to highlight the differences between them and the Romans. His meticulous research and keen observations have made him a respected authority on ancient history and culture. I highly recommend 'Germania' to readers interested in ancient history, anthropology, and cultural studies. Tacitus' insightful analysis and engaging narrative style make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities of the ancient world.

O autoru
Publius (or Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus was a renowned Roman historian and senator who lived during the latter part of the first century AD. His contributions to Latin prose are distinguished by their concise narrative style and penetrating psychological insights into the politics and personalities of his era. Tacitus is best known for his critical and complex works on the history of Rome, reflecting on the reigns of the emperors and the intricacies of Roman society. Among his most significant writings are the 'Histories' and 'Annals,' which chronicle the empire's history from the death of Augustus to the end of Nero's reign. Tacitus's 'Germania' is a seminal ethnographic work that provides an account of the geography, customs, and tribes of Germania, the land inhabited by the Germanic peoples outside the Roman Empire. It has been a crucial source for understanding ancient Germanic culture and has markedly influenced the study of German history. Scholars often cite Tacitus for his mastery over Latin, his capacity for astute observation, and his bleak, sometimes cynical view of human nature. Despite the historical significance of his work, many details of Tacitus's own life, including the exact dates of his birth and death, remain the subject of scholarly debate. Nevertheless, his writings continue to stand as pillars of Roman historiography and literature.
