by 理查.費德勒(Richard Fidler)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: July 31, 2018

穿梭古今,一盡拜占庭帝國的千年興衰史 ★古今交織,有如父子版《蘇菲的世界》加上《伊斯坦堡­三城記》的古城歷史。 ★在扎實的歷史基礎上,又加入了親情和旅­行元素,讀來親切而有溫度。 ★內附大事年表、拜占庭帝國各時期領土示意圖、相關歷史人物及文物插圖。 二○一四年,深受拜占庭帝國歷史吸引的澳洲知名媒體人暨說書人理查.費德勒,決定展開一段從羅馬到伊斯坦堡的旅程,作為同為歷史迷的兒子的成年禮。 熠熠生輝的拜占庭帝國以之後更名為伊斯坦堡、具有「眾城之后」美名的傳奇城市君士坦丁堡為中央舞台,上演豐富多彩的歷史大戲,令費德勒為之著迷,也將我們捲入其中詭譎多變、風起雲湧的帝國局勢,像是帝后間的愛戀糾葛、部族間的征戰與權謀、帝王與將領的猜忌嫌隙、黨派間的傾軋惡鬥、不同信仰的衝突與對立……一幕幕復仇、貪欲、謀殺的人性戲碼在費德勒活靈活現的敘述中精彩呈現,讓人彷如身歷其境。 本書既是拜占庭帝國從崛起到殞落的菁華記事,也是父子相偕離家探險的深情紀實。 【各界讚譽】 此書是相當奇特組合的文類,卻值得肯定:現代與過去時空穿越交雜,主題嚴肅卻又輕鬆,輕盈但有分量。以前類似作品可能在歷史知識都過於輕薄短小,但《幽靈帝國拜占庭》絕不如此。 ——國立成功大學歷史學系教授...
