Abstract: Enormous numbers of slaves were absorbed into Roman society from the third century B.C. onwards. Mainly enslaved prisoners of war, they transformed the quality of life in the Roman Empire beyond recognition.In this anthology the author offers a complete collection of Greek and Latin sources in an English translation which deal with the great slave rebellions in the second and first centuries B.C. In a postscript Zvi Yavetz surveys the controversy on slaves and slavery from the French Revolution to our own days, with an emphasis on the debate between Marxists and non-Marxists.The book is intended for specialists and generalists alike, including those who have had no previous classical education, but could after delving in sources concern themselves with one of the most intriguing problems in world history.

Monaco di baviera, C.H. Beck 2008, cm.15x22, pp.254, legatura editoriale con sovraccoperta figurata a colori. Die Geschichte der Stadt Czernowitz und ihrer Menschen ist die Geschichte einer einzigartigen Kulturmetropole, die zum Symbol für das lange Zeit friedliche Zusammenleben von Ukrainern, Rumänen, Polen, Ruthenen, Juden und Deutschen wurde, ehe der Zweite Weltkrieg und die Verbrechen der deutschen Besatzer die kulturelle Blüte der Stadt ein für allemal zerstörten. Zvi Yavetz läßt in seinen Erinnerungen an die 1930er und 1940er Jahre in Czernowitz eine untergegangene Welt wieder lebendig werden. In bewegenden Bildern berichtet er vom jüdischen Alltag in einer Stadt, aus der so unterschiedliche Dichter und Gelehrte wie Paul Celan, Rose Ausländer, Erwin Chargaff oder Josef Schumpeter hervorgingen.
