From the accession of Alexius in 1081, through the disastrous Fourth Crusade - when an army destined for the Holy Land was diverted to Constantinople by the blind, octogenarian but infinitely crafty Doge of Venice - to the painfully protracted struggle against the Ottomans, the closing centuries of the Byzantine era are rich in pathos, colour and startling reversals of fortune. The terrible siege of Constantinople in 1453 ended the empire, founded in the year 330, which Lord Norwich has devoted many years to re-creating; this volume forms the climax to an epic sequence of books.

著者について

John Julius Norwich was born in 1929. He was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto, at Eton, at the University of Strasbourg and, after a spell of National Service in the Navy, at New College, Oxford, where he took a degree in French and Russian. In 1952 he joined the Foreign Service, where he remained for twelve years, serving at the embassies in Belgrade and Beirut and with the British Delegation to the Disarmament Conference at Geneva. In 1964 he resigned from the service in order to write. Byzantium: The Decline and Fall is the third in his three-volume history of the Byzantine Empire.

Reviewing the trilogy: Volume Three, in which Norwich describes in sometimes agonising detail the crumbling of the empire.

2011年8月29日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

For a long time to come this trilogy of books will be the first and last word for the general reader looking to learn about this most vibrant, fascinating, ignored and downright misunderstood of civilisations.

Now that I'm drawing to a close with volume three, I wanted to take the time to give an overview of the whole series of books. I'll say first that these are really first rate books, the kind of history text that you could give to anyone an they'd enjoy them and learn from them. Norwich is a wonderful writer, with a confident grasp of the facts and possessed of an urbane, engaging and fluent style.

He is also disarmingly honest about his books' perceived limitations. Look elsewhere, he says, if you are a scholar who wants to learn from something new. Look elsewhere also if you want a real nuts and bolts account of dailt life and socio-ecomonic history of the empire. That's not to say he doesn't give us glimpses of what daily and spiritual life might have been like for the ordinary Byzantine. But for the most parts it's the key events and the key players that interest him and us.

VOLUME THREE is the spectacular culmination of Norwich's trilogy. Of course, we all know what's coming, but that doesn't make it any less hard-hitting when we read about the fall of Constantinople. After hundreds of pages and months of reading, it almost felt like someone I knew had died! This book is slightly different in tone again from its predecessors, in that it deals with history on the broadest of canvasses. How could it be otherwise? This was a time when Byzantium was caught up in- and eventually swept away by- events and antagonists coming at it from both east and west. This book covers the period of the crusades and the rise of the Turks to true preeminence. And yet the book and consequently the whole trilogy ends on a note of indivdual pathos, as we learn of what happened to the descendents of the last Emperor.

All in all, Norwich's wonderful trilogy is one of those works that covers so many different topics that your subsequent reading may well go off in many enriching directions. On the back of reading these books, not only have I woken up to the richness of Balkan, Turkish, and middle eastern history, but it's given me a clearer take on church history, later roman history, and, of course, the splendour of Byzantine art and architecture. Next stop Istanbul, to see Hagia Sofia for myself!

A brilliant conclusion to a masterpiece

2008年6月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Norwich's final volume in his sweeping history of the Byzantine Empire is bitter-sweet. As Norwich himself recognizes in his introduction, when he concluded writing it, it was as if he was saying farewell to an old friend. I felt the same way when I read the concluding chapter.

Norwich focuses almost exclusively on political history, a reason for which I had previously deducted a star in reviews of his other works in the trilogy. Having read the entire set, it clearly warrants 5 stars, especially given his poignant concluding chapters detailing the breach of the walls of Constantinople in 1453, an epilogue of the survivors, and - as is fitting to a history that has been long overlooked and denied its place in world history - the reaction of Western Europe.

Having read Norwich's histories of the rise and zenith of Byzantium, it was oddly sad to read of its gradual decline, a death by a thousand cuts as Byzantium was beset by enemies from all directions. His account of the sacking of Byzantimum during the Fourth Crusade was particularly moving. As a historian, it is expected to remain somewhat at a distance from the period and people studied; that I had such a reaction is testament to the power of Norwich's words.

I recommend this book - and the others preceeding it - highly. There are lessons to be learned here not only about how once great and wealthy empires disintegrate and collapse, but also about the subject matter itself: the West, and indeed the world owe Byzantium much, as Norwich eloquently demonstrates.

Great book; Even greater trilogy

2012年7月18日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This final book of Norwich's Byzantine trilogy exceeded my expectations. A year ago I read Roger Crowley's 1453 and it sparked an interest in this historically misrepresented civilization, and Norwich's trilogy was the perfect literature to satisfy my taste. The magnitude of including a millennium and a half into less than 15oo pages is staggering but Norwich was able to not just shed light on a confusing but important period in world history, but to make it absolutely interesting. After reading the Early Centuries I consumed the Apogee and could not wait until my copy of the Decline and Fall to come in, which it quickly did. As an avid political science geek, I could not help but compare the amazing story of the rise and fall of the Byzantine Empire to other societies in world history, including modern America. If you are like me and enjoy analyzing and comparing historical societies and empires to each other, that Norwich is perfect for giving a complete overview of one of the most important, dynamic, and entertaining civilizations recorded. Highly recommended.

Brings Byzantium to Life

2004年1月3日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This series of books (permit me to include mention of the other two in the trilogy here) is a great read, a telling of the complete saga of Byzantine history, covering a period of 1000 years. The author lays bare the facts about the various Emperors of Byzantium, the good, the bad, the incompetent and the heroic, giving as good idea as possible about each of their character, deeds and misdeeds, and the times and events in which they existed. He does it in a style that draws the reader in and captivates the interest which I find admirable. This is definately the way history should be written.
I was disappointed by the maps at the beginning of each book: they only give a very vague idea of where things are happening, and I would have loved to have seen what areas the Empire controlled at various points in its history. It seems a shame to have to look elsewhere for such maps, considering the quality of the writing.
