Great Moravia (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What if one of medieval Central Europe's most powerful Slavic states vanished so completely that its story became almost forgotten?Great Moravia tells the remarkable story of a Slavic power that rose along the Morava River, challenged the influence of the Frankish Empire, reached its greatest strength under Svatopluk I, and ultimately collapsed under the pressure of internal division and Magyar attacks.But this is more than a story of conquest and collapse.Few people know how important Great Moravia became before the better-known kingdoms of medieval Central Europe rose to prominence. What you're about to discover will change how you see the political and cultural development of the Slavic world.Follow the rise of Mojmir as scattered Slavic tribes moved toward political unity. Discover how fortified centers, skilled craftsmanship, metallurgy, agriculture, and trade reflected the growing strength of Moravian society. Witness Rastislav's bold decision to seek help from Constantinople as he attempted to loosen Frankish influence.Then meet Constantine, later known as Cyril, and Methodius, whose mission transformed the story. Their creation of a Slavic alphabet and their translation of Christian texts into Old Church Slavonic helped establish a literary and religious tradition whose influence reached far beyond Moravia.Experience the height of Moravian power under Svatopluk, a ruler who combined military ability with calculated diplomacy. Then follow the decisions, rivalries, and external threats that weakened the empire until its political structure finally collapsed.Why does Great Moravia matter today?
