Black Sea is at once a homage to an ocean and its shores and an amazingly readable meditation on Eurasian history from the earliest times to the present. Ascherson recalls the world of Herodotus and Aeschylus; Ovid's place of exile on what is now the coast of Romania; the decline and fall of Byzantium; the mysterious fastness of the Chrisian Goths; the Tatar Khanates; the growth of Russian power across the grasslands, and the centuries of war between Ottoman and Russian Empires around the Black Sea; and in our own century the terrors of Stalinism and its fascist enemy, striving for mastery of these endlessly colourful and complex shores. It evokes the culture, history and politics of the volatile region which surrounds the Black Sea.
This is the sea where Europe ended. This is a story of Greeks, Scythians, Samatians, Huns, Goths, Turks, Russian and Poles. It is the place where 'barbarism' was born.
