Product Description C'est un sujet merveilleusement vain, divers et ondoyant que l'homme . A l'image de la celebre phrase de Montaigne, le livre VII de l'Histoire Naturelle, consacre a l'homme justement, frappe par sa variete. Quelles sont les lois de l'heredite? Les mecanismes de la naissance? De la memoire? Qu'estce que le bonheur? La mort? Le courage? Voila les sujets, toujours abordes avec cette erudition curieuse et pittoresque propre a Pline l'Ancien, que le livre VII passe en revue. L'ensemble forme un formidable panorama des connaissances et d'erreurs au Ier siecle apres J.C. Loin de tout systeme, Pline accumule les anecdotes qu'il a glanees au fil de ses lectures et de ses observations. Si cette absence de theorisation est souvent reprochee au naturaliste, celleci se revele particulierement adaptee quand il s'agit de l'homme, le domaine par excellence ou l'exception est plus interessante que la regle. Au lecteur de se delecter des descriptions monstrueuses et bizarres des peuples des confins, de l'histoire d'Aglaus Psophidius, le plus heureux des hommes et des vicissitudes innombrables de la fortune d'Auguste. Notre edition presente a part le livre VII. L'introduction, assortie d'un plan permettant de circuler aisement dans le texte, fournit tous les elements necessaires a sa bonne intelligence et propose en outre une fine analyse des sources dont s'est servi Pline et du sens critique de ce dernier. La methode utilisee par l'auteur est mise en evidence tandis que l'histoire des manuscrits est relatee en detail. Le livreVII est suivi d'un abondant commentaire et complete par une bibliographie succincte. L'ouvrage est en outre enrichi d'un Index Nominum et Rerum.
