Summary: The literature of Europe offers no substitute for "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." It has obtained undisputed possession, as rightful occupant, of the vast period which it comprehends. The inherent interest of the subject, the inexhaustible labor employed upon it; the immense condensation of matter; the luminous arrangement; the general accuracy; the style, which, however monotonous from its uniform stateliness, and sometimes wearisome from its elaborate air., is throughout vigorous, animated, often picturesque always commands attention, always conveys its meaning with emphatic energy, describes with singular breadth and fidelity, and generalizes with unrivalled felicity of expression; all these high qualifications have secured its permanent place in historic literature. The gradual decline of the most extraordinary dominion which has ever invaded and oppressed the world; the fall of that immense empire, erected on the ruins of so many kingdoms, republics, and states both barbarous and civilized; and forming in its turn, by its dismemberment, a multitude of states, republics, and kingdoms; the annihilation of the religion of Greece and Rome; the birth and the progress of the two new religions which have shared the most beautiful regions of the earth; the decrepitude of the ancient world, the spectacle of its expiring glory and degenerate manners; the infancy of the modern world, the picture of its first progress, of the new direction given to the mind and character of man-such a subject must necessarily fix the attention and excite the interest of men, who cannot behold with indifference those memorable epochs, during which, in the fine language of Corneille- 'Un grand destin commence, un grand destin s'acheve.' Volume 2 spans "The Conduct Towards The Christians, From Nero To Constantine" to "Progress of The Huns".

Customer Reviews

Pleasant Surprise

Being a Beatles fan, I bought this book simply because of the title. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself being caught up in the twists and turns of the plot line and it no longer became a book about John Lennon to me. It became a book with great intrigue and mystery, as well as the historical nostalgia and reminiscences. I love this author's unique approach and obvious knowledge of life in the circle surrounding the world that was Lennon. Not only did I love the mystery of the events in the book, I also found myself drawn to the story behind Neil and Stevie's unorthodox relationship. Now, I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series, and I am ordering the previous titles and cannot wait to read them. What a fun book!

Enjoyable Read

The mixture of Yesterday and today was marvelous and I really felt as if I was Here, There and Everywhere. In My Life I have read many books (no, I don't want to be a Paperback Writer) and have enjoyed many sets of characters. Neil and Stevie are amongst the most fun and prove that one is able to get by With a Little Help from [Their] Friends.I look forward to the next one, and hope that when it comes the world is a better place where Peace *can* be Given a Chance.

The Best One Yet!

In "The John Lennon Affair," Robert S. Levinson whisks us back in time to John Lennon's murder, when his recurring characters, Neil Gulliver and Stevie Marriner are 20 years younger. This device is a perfect set-up for the present day adventure and we join Neil and Stevie as they attend a rock festival honoring Lennon's memory on an Indian reservation in the California desert.The story races along. I couldn't put the book down. The characters are superb. There are federal agents, a crime boss, scheming gamblers, and an Indian mystic. If that isn't enough, Stevie's ex-boyfriend and Neil's ex-girlfriend show up to keep them on an uneven keel.Read this book. You'll love it. And if you somehow missed the author's earlier books, don't forget to order "The Elvis and Marilyn Affair," and "The James Dean Affair." They're also superb and they'll keep you on the edge of your chair.What's next Mr. Levinson? I can hardly wait!

Robert S. Levinson Does It Again!

I just lost a night's sleep because I couldn't put down "The John Lennon Affair" by Robert S. Levinson. Levinson evokes the world of "the biz" when Rock and Roll wasn't canned and stars were more than hype. For those of us who were there, it's a vivid flashback to scary times. For those who weren't, it's an exciting ride. But the real flip comes when the past impinges on the present. Levinison's characters Neil and Stevie are drawn into a thrill ride of murder and intrigue at a Lennon memorial festival in the desert. Good plotting, colorful characters and some thoughts to chew on. Five stars.
