John Julius Norwich has brought together in this remarkable edition the most important & fascinating events of his dazzling trilogy of the rise & fall of the Byzantine Empire. W/ wit, intelligence & an unerring eye for riveting detail, Lord Norwich tells the dramatic history of Byzantium from its beginnings in AD 330 when Constantine the Great moved the imperial capital from Rome to the site of an old Greek port in Asia Minor called Byzantium & renamed it Constantinople, to its rise as the first & most long-lasting Christian empire, to its final heroic days & eventual defeat by the Turks in 1453. It was a history marked by tremendous change & drama: the adoption of Christianity by the Greco-Roman world; the fall of Rome & its empire; the defeat by the Seljuk Turks at Manzikert in 1071; the reigns of Constantine, Theodosius the Great, Justinian & Basil II. There were centuries of bloodshed in which the empire struggled for its life; centuries of controversy in which men argued about the nature of Christ & the Church; centuries of scholarship in which ancient culture was kept alive & preserved by scribes; &, most of all, centuries of creativity in which the Byzantine genius brought forth art & architecture inspired by a depth of spirituality unparalleled in any other age. After more than 14 centuries, the ever-dazzling brilliance of the mosaics of Ravenna & the ethereal splendor of the great church of St. Sophia in Istanbul still have the power to take one's breath away. Lord Norwich here offers his readers a spirited, gripping, & original account of one of the greatest lost civilizations & its magnificent artistic heritage.
