Thukydides. Der große Krieg. Übersetzt und eingeleitet von Heinrich Weinstock

Heinrich Weinstock (1889-1960), educator, philologist, and translator. Weinstock earned his doctorate in 1912 with a dissertation on Plato's Phaedrus and served in World War I, later becoming headmaster of the Kaiser-Friedrich-Gymnasium in Frankfurt. Initially sympathetic to the Nazi movement, he later fell out of favor due to ideological differences, and his writings were banned in 1936. He then turned to translating classical authors such as Plato, Thucydides, Sallust, and Sophocles. After World War II, he resumed work as a school director and became Professor of Philosophy and Pedagogy at Goethe University Frankfurt. DB
