内容简介

色诺芬论居鲁士大帝的教育与治国之书:说它是西方第一部小说也可,说它是第一部领导术手册也可,全看从哪一面去看。

背景与流传

先要说明:这不是史书。色诺芬取一个真实人物——波斯帝国的缔造者——而虚构其一生,借以说明一个统治者应当是什么样子:如何教人发号施令,如何赢得忠诚而非强索忠诚,如何整治军队,如何对待战败的敌人。希罗多德所记的居鲁士与此全然不同。此书在古代与文艺复兴时期读者极众:西庇阿与恺撒随身携带,马基雅维利引用它,杰斐逊藏有两部。读时宜知:书中所有的,是色诺芬心目中“善用权力”的样子,而非波斯发生过的事。

这是编辑性背景,不是可引用的来源:与作品本身的段落不同,这些说明无法在语料库中核对。

The diacritical marks have been lost. INTRODUCTION A very few words may suffice by way of introduction to this translation of the _Cyropaedia_. Professor Jowett, whose Plato represents the high-water mark of classical translation, has given us the following reminders: "An English translation ought to be idiomatic and interesting, not only to the scholar, but also to the unlearned reader.…
