Synopsis
The glorification of Spartacus in the revolutionary mythology and martyrology of the Soviet Union has lead to great distortions in historical accuracy. This book chronicles the changing attitudes to Spartacus in Soviet historical writing, and the fate of some of those who have sought to get back to the ancient sources or have dared to question the `official history'. This eye-opening essay in historiography is supported by an extensive bibliography of Russian writing. Revised version of the text published in Germany in 1983.

Originalbroschur. Condition: Gut. IV, 55 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Buchrücken leicht ausgeblichen, sonst sehr guter Zustand, mit Verfasserwidmung auf Titelblatt / spine slightly faded, otherwise very good condition, with author's dedication on title page. - TRANSLATION OF THE EDITOR'S PREFACE TO THE GERMAN EDITION In the series known as 'Xenia' shorter studies are mainly published, which were originally delivered as lectures at the University of Konstanz. Generally these cover areas of research which are not represented in the University's curriculum, and are aimed not only at experts but also at a non-specialist but interested general public. The author of the present volume, Martin Wolfgang (Zeev) Rubinsohn, was born in Berlin in 1932. At the end of 1938 he emigrated with his parents to Harbin in what was then known as Manchuquo, which after being initially controlled by Soviet troops reverted to China in 1946. At the conclusion of his training as a Russian-English translator, he eventually immigrated to Israel in 1950. After studying History and Classical Antiquity, he obtained his Ph. D. at the University of Tel Aviv, where he has been teaching since 1966. His areas of research are slavery in antiquity, with special reference to the slave-uprisings, and also the history of his chosen subject. Both are to be recognised in the present study, which is based on a lecture delivered in the summer of 1981. The publication of the essays in this series have been made possible in large measure by the Maecenas-like generosity of Heinz Breuninger. Right up to the time of his sudden death he showed a great interest in the work of the Chair of Ancient History here. The title of the series (which means in Greek 'guest-gifts') is an expression of grateful thanks not only to the individual contributors for their essays, but also to Heinz Breuninger and the Breuninger Foundation for all their help. For that reason the whole series is dedicated to Heinz Breuninger's memory. / CONTENTS Prefatory Matter The Uprising of Spartacus Appendix 'A' Notes Select Bibliography Appendix 'B'.
