About This Novel

Mystras is one of the most legendary and beautiful cities located in Greece. In the last two centuries of the Byzantine Empire, it gradually developed and prospered, becoming the center of academic, artistic and even European cultural development. It has the essence of Byzantine architecture and mural art, and is the intersection of the classical world and the medieval world in "Faust". Today, however, Mystras is a lost city, overlooked by historians in the Byzantine rush. In one of the rare historical works centered on Mystras, Sir Steven Runciman recounts the past of this great city and relives the twilight glory of the Byzantine Empire.
