In this exciting narrative history, John Julius Norwich, one of most accomplished popular historians, reveals the beginning of Byzantium. He tells of the five formative centuries of an empire that would enthrall the western world for more than eleven hundred years.作者简介Born in 1929, John Julius Norwich served in the foreign office for twelve years before resigning in 1964 in order to write.
