圖書描述

In AD 476 the Roman Empire fell–or rather, its western half did. Its eastern half, which would come to be known as the Byzantine Empire, would endure and often flourish for another eleven centuries. Though its capital would move to Constantinople, its citizens referred to themselves as Roman for the entire duration of the empire’s existence. Indeed, so did its neighbors, allies, and enemies: When the Turkish Sultan Mehmet II conquered Constantinople in 1453, he took the title Caesar of Rome, placing himself in a direct line that led back to Augustus.

For far too many otherwise historically savvy people today, the story of the Byzantine civilization is something of a void. Yet for more than a millennium, Byzantium reigned as the glittering seat of Christian civilization. When Europe fell into the Dark Ages, Byzantium held fast against Muslim expansion, keeping Christianity alive. When literacy all but vanished in the West, Byzantium made primary education available to both sexes. Students debated the merits of Plato and Aristotle and commonly committed the entirety of Homer’s Iliad to memory. Streams of wealth flowed into Constantinople, making possible unprecedented wonders of art and architecture, from fabulous jeweled mosaics and other iconography to the great church known as the Hagia Sophia that was a vision of heaven on earth. The dome of the Great Palace stood nearly two hundred feet high and stretched over four acres, and the city’s population was more than twenty times that of London’s.

From Constantine, who founded his eponymous city in the year 330, to Constantine XI, who valiantly fought the empire’s final battle more than a thousand years later, the emperors who ruled Byzantium enacted a saga of political intrigue and conquest as astonishing as anything in recorded history. Lost to the West is replete with stories of assassination, mass mutilation and execution, sexual scheming, ruthless grasping for power, and clashing armies that soaked battlefields with the blood of slain warriors numbering in the tens of thousands.

Still, it was Byzantium that preserved for us today the great gifts of the classical world. Of the 55,000 ancient Greek texts in existence today, some 40,000 were transmitted to us by Byzantine scribes. And it was the Byzantine Empire that shielded Western Europe from invasion until it was ready to take its own place at the center of the world stage. Filled with unforgettable stories of emperors, generals, and religious patriarchs, as well as fascinating glimpses into the life of the ordinary citizen, Lost to the West reveals how much we owe to this empire that was the equal of any in its achievements, appetites, and enduring legacy.

这是一部粗线条的拜占庭帝国史,作者按照时间顺序,以历代著名皇帝和重大历史事件为中心,讲述了从君士坦丁、查士丁尼、希拉克略、巴西尔二世和曼努埃尔一世等人的历史功绩,讲述了拜占庭帝国历经的战争、辉煌、政治纷争、内乱,以及宗教分裂与冲突等,从中,我们可以领略整个...

欧洲中世纪三部曲最后一本,布朗沃思越写越顺畅。相比维京海盗以及英国先祖诺曼人,拜占庭的故事名声要大很多。明明他的血统高贵到是古罗马的继承人,偏偏名声没有与之匹配;它曾是傲视欧亚两个大陆的超级巨国,在欧洲大陆的穷骑士和土领主还在为了面包而征战的时候,它早就富...

近日有一首很火的歌,歌词中有一句是“我想要带你去浪漫的土耳其。”但我想说土耳其一点也不浪漫。 当十字军打着教皇的旗号,实际为了一己私利涌向耶路撒冷,将血腥和眼泪也一同带到了朝圣之路,而且他们还在半路洗劫了同胞的千年之城--君士坦丁堡;当塞尔柱土耳其人如风暴般席...

《拜占庭帝国》,豆瓣8.0。中世纪三部曲的收官之做。这三部曲,我觉得第一部《维京传奇》写得最好,第二部《诺曼风云》简直没法看,第三部《拜占庭帝国》恢复了一些神采。前两本提过了,不赘述。 到了拜占庭帝国时期,算是把之前看的历史书都续上了。很惭愧我是从当代历史开始...
