Throughout history, some books have changed the world, transforming the way we see ourselves and others. They have inspired debates, discords, wars, and revolutions, illuminating, indignating, provoking, and consoling. Taurus publishes the works of great thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and drove us to be who we are. In this book, Edward Gibbon offers a subversive and iconoclastic description of the rise of Christianity, an eloquent and irrefutable critique of the deceptive nature of faith that aroused great indignation in the 18th century and remains relevant today.
Edward Gibbon was a British essayist, historian and politician. His most important and influential work, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was published in six volumes between 1776 and 1789, to critical and commercial success. It is known for the quality and irony of its prose, its use of primary sources, and its polemical criticism of organised religion.
