Here in a single volume is the entire, unabridged recording of Gibbon's masterpiece. Beginning in the second century at the apex of the Pax Romana, Gibbon traces the arc of decline and complete destruction through the centuries across Europe and the Mediterranean. It is a thrilling and cautionary tale of splendor and ruin, of faith and hubris, and of civilization and barbarism. Follow along as Christianity overcomes paganism... before itself coming under intense pressure from Islam. It is a story that begins in Rome and ends in the capture of Constantinople by the Turks almost 1,500 years later. To aid in navigating this massive work, please refer to the accompanying PDF, which contains a table of contents and starting times for each chapter.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

What made the experience of listening to The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire the most enjoyable?
Excellent book. Very well read: The narrator has the perfect voice for this kind of story (although there are a number of mispronunciations) and keeps to a good pace. Also a great deal to get so much material in one audiobook. Moreover Audible allows you to download this as twelve separate downloads, by clicking on the triangle to the left of your pre-download purchase, so no need to worry about waiting around or it taking up too much space.

Excellent

Really long but amazing. The understanding that you gain not just of this era but of the wider history of the world and they way it all holds together is second to none.

Listened to this in the span of around 10 months. Very impressed with the book, definitely one of the greatest and one of my new favourites, now I’ve finally finished it. The narration was good as well, I can see in a lot of the reviews people don’t like it, but for me as long as I can understand I don’t really care. Very good deal, as most places sell this book by the volume or in multiple parts, so considering that I would 100% recommend this book:)

Perfect book

What made the experience of listening to The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire the most enjoyable?

The most thorough account you could want for what is effectively a history of Europe, and the rise of the modern states that we see today.

What about Charlton Griffin’s performance did you like?

Excellent narration. The only mistake I found was at one point the narrator said "pause" and silence ensued for a few seconds.

Top quality history

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. With such a lot of content, the narrator needs to be better. I loved the history but could not continue after the second part because of the colourless narrator. This may in part be because of Gibbon's old fashioned 'cerebral' writing style. The text is packed with facts, which I love, it could do with a bit more drama.

Great history. Weak narration
