《呂氏春秋》是秦朝丞相呂不韋召集門下賓客學士集體創作的一部綜合巨著，它有三個方面堪稱「獨一無二」：一是內容的廣泛性，自古代社會到那時代的全部認識成果，它幾乎都作了檢閱和評說；二是學派的兼容性，它雖被視為雜家，但卻力圖在融會貫通的基礎上，建構一個自屬的體系；三是構制的規整性，使讀者產生一種嚴格按照預定藍圖，集百工智慧而由一人運籌帷幄的感受。如此一部奇書，值得國人一讀。本書在前賢時彥的研究基礎上，進行全面而深入的導讀、校注和語譯，是今人研讀《呂氏春秋》的不二之選。

Aratus of Soli was a highly original poet of the early third century BC, famous throughout antiquity for his didactic epic on constellations and weather signs, and imitated by later Greek and Latin poets. Modelled on Hesiod's Works and Days the poem is cleverly updated to appeal to the interests of contemporary Greek readers. This volume presents for the first time in English an edition of the poem with a full introduction, facing translation and a line-by-line commentary. The introduction explains the literary and scientific background, the characteristic features of Aratus's language, style and metre, and the transmission of the text to the end of the Middle Ages. The commentary gives help with the content of the poem and aims to resolve the many problems of text and interpretation. The text is based on a new reading of the manuscripts, including one not used before.
