About the Book

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket Volumes 5 & 6 At its height, the Roman Empire ruled the known world-but even the greatest empires are not invincible. What begins as a tale of power and triumph soon unravels into a gripping account of political intrigue, military failures, and the slow erosion of a civilization that once seemed untouchable. Gibbon vividly brings to life the ambitious rulers, ruthless invaders, and internal betrayals that chipped away at Rome's foundations. With masterful storytelling and sharp historical insight, this epic chronicle reveals how the empire that shaped the West began to crumble from within. Few works have shaped our understanding of history like Gibbon's masterful account of Rome's fall. With sharp analysis and eloquent prose, in History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire he not only chronicles an empire's decline but also pioneers the modern study of history itself. His work challenges readers to consider how political corruption, military overreach, and cultural shifts can topple even the greatest civilizations. More than two centuries later, it remains a vital, thought-provoking reflection on power, legacy, and the fragility of empires. Volumes 1 & 2 and Volumes 3 & 4 are also available.

About the Author :
Edward Gibbon, born on May 8, 1737, in Putney, Surrey, England, was a renowned historian and scholar. Despite a frail childhood marked by frequent illnesses, he developed a voracious appetite for reading, which laid the foundation for his future intellectual pursuits. ​In 1752, Gibbon enrolled at Magdalen College, Oxford, but found the academic environment uninspiring, leading to his temporary conversion to Roman Catholicism. His father subsequently sent him to Lausanne, Switzerland, where he reconverted to Protestantism and immersed himself in rigorous studies under the guidance of a Calvinist pastor. ​Gibbon's magnum opus, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was published in six volumes between 1776 and 1788. This monumental work is celebrated for its critical use of primary sources and its eloquent prose, offering a comprehensive analysis of the factors leading to the fall of the Roman Empire.
