The Glory of Byzantium (national Geographic Global History)

About This Novel

The Western world had a deep-seated prejudice against Byzantium, associating it with decadence, vulgarity, or luxury. But in fact, the Byzantine Empire for a time successfully reconquered Western Europe, fought against the Persians, Slavs, and Ottomans, developed commercial relations with Scandinavia and China, favored extraordinary scientific and artistic advancements, and perpetuated Greco-Latin culture, thereby promoting the Renaissance in Europe. This book strives to use rich archaeological documents, cultural relics, pictures of historical sites and other materials and rigorous research to restore the thousand-year glory of this mysterious empire.
