"History, in fact, differs little from the list of crimes, follies, and calamities of the human race," states the British historian Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) in the major work of his life, a sweeping work on the decline and destruction of the great Roman Empire. In this groundbreaking and yet provocative book for its time, the author traces the processes that took place in the Roman state and society from the flowering of the Empire to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, which marked its end. Despite the long and bitter controversy over Gibbon's "anti-religious" views on the birth and spread of Christianity, his work is still one of the classics for the study of this period in Western universities. The text is reproduced in Russian with minor abbreviations.
