Black Sea is a homage to an ocean and its shores, from the earliest
times to the present. It explores the culture, history and politics
of the volatile region which surrounds the Black Sea. 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 Christian 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. He
examines the terrors of Stalinism and its fascist enemy, both
striving for mastery of these endlessly colourful and complex
shores, and investigates the turbulent history of modern Ukraine.
WITH A FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR 'A brilliant biography of place'
