Batstone\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSallust was one of the first classical historians to move beyond a dry recitation of fact to paint sharp-edged portraits of the moral and political degeneration of the Roman Republic. Sallust's abrupt and distinctive style is the perfect vehicle for his moral urgency, bitter condemnation, and satirical cynicism. William W. Batstone's new translation, which includes the fragmentary \u003cem\u003eHistories\u003c\/em\u003e, captures the severity of his Latin style. \u003cem\u003eCatiline's Conspiracy\u003c\/em\u003e describes the bloody rebellion led by the depraved and disaffected Catiline. For Sallust it was especially disturbing because of the unprecedented nature of the crime and the danger it caused. \u003cem\u003eThe Jugurthine War\u003c\/em\u003e offers a graphic depiction of the war against the king of Numidia, highlighting the power struggles in Rome and the brutal battles in Africa. A wide-ranging introduction sets Sallust and his works in their turbulent historical context, and considers their achievements as both history and literature. Batstone also provides\u003cbr\u003eshorter introductions to each of the three works as well as comprehensive notes, an up-to-date bibliography, and maps of the Mediterranean, Italy, and Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e For over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
