Istoria Imperiului Bizantin

Rate this book
Scrisa de unul dintre cei mai reputati bizantinologi ai secolului XX, lucrarea urmareste in desfasurarea ei o istorie ce se intinde de la domnia lui Constantin cel Mare pina la cucerirea Constantinopolului de catre Mahomed al II-lea. Abordarea complexa adoptata de Vasiliev – autorul prezentind si comentind nu doar evenimentele politice si militare, ci si relatiile comerciale, viata religioasa si realizarile culturale – face din Istoria Imperiului bizantin cel mai cuprinzator studiu din acest domeniu. Dincolo de bogatia informatiei si acuratetea analizei, cititorul poate contempla spectacolul fascinant al unei mari civilizatii.

„Analiza istoriei bizantine a lui Vasiliev este unica in domeniu. E completa, incluzind o prezentare a literaturii si artei pentru fiecare perioada discutata, in timp ce toate celelalte lucrari de acest gen, chiar si cele mai recente, fie sunt conditionate de timp, fie neglijeaza unele aspecte ale civilizatiei orientale… Aceasta recunoscuta si apreciata Istorie a Imperiului bizantin nu mai are nevoie de nicio recomandare. Redactata initial in limba rusa, a fost tradusa in engleza, franceza, spaniola si turca. A fost intotdeauna preferata de studenti.” (The Catholic Historical Review)

About the author

Alexander Vasiliev

13 books6 followers
Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev (Russian: Александр Александрович Васильев) was considered the foremost authority on Byzantine history and culture in the mid-20th century. His History of the Byzantine Empire (vol. 1–2, 1928) remains one of a few comprehensive accounts of the entire Byzantine history, on the par with those authored by Edward Gibbon and Fyodor Uspensky.

Cartea este un gen de "biblie" a Imperiului Bizantin. Autorul reflectă etapele constituirii dar și a destinului Bizanțului, răspândirea creștinismului, cruciadele, proveniența și evoluția turcilor, arabilor etc. până la căderea Constantinopolului și ocuparea acestuia de către turci (1453).

Άριστα γραμμένο, με πολλές λεπτομέρειες και πολλή πληροφορία περί της κάθε σκοπιάς του Βυζαντίου. Ο μεγάλος όγκος του έργου είναι δικαιολογημένος, καθώς δεν υπάρχουν περιττολογίες και ο συγγραφεύς κατορθώνει να προσελκύσει την προσοχή του αναγνώστη. Δεν θα το πρότεινα σε εκείνον που δεν έχει ήδη διαβάσει περί του Βυζαντίου - έστω και ελάχιστα, επειδή δίδεται περισσότερο βάρος στους εσωτερικούς μηχανισμούς της αυτοκρατορίας παρά στην εξιστόρηση των γεγονώτων, η οποία μεν υπάρχει - αλλά είναι σύντομη και εν μέρει θεωρείται δεδομένη. Επίσης υπάρχουν ελάχιστες εικόνες και δίδεται ιδιαίτερη προσοχή στις βιβλιογραφικές αναφόρες - που ίσως να εξουθενώνει μερικούς αναγνώστες.


Το βιβλίο πάντως δεν παύει να είναι αριστουργηματικό. Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε εκείνον που θέλει να μελετήσει το ένδοξο Βυζάντιο.

Ίσως το καλύτερο βιβλίο για να ανατρέξεις σε οτιδήποτε ψάχνεις για αυτήν την περίοδο της ιστορίας. Αριστούργημα

On the plus side the language is simple making the book accesible for all types of readers, the main events of the history of Byzantine Empire are accurately described in an enjoyable narrative. On the minus side I found that the author approaches the subject on a rather schematic manner so I did not have the feeling that I am complety immersed in the events which are portrayed in the book.

Gerçekten müthiş bir tarih kitabı. Tarihsel dönem olarak Konstantinopolis'in kuruluşundan başlıyor (4.yy civarı) Anlatım oldukça güzel, derli toplu. Batı Roma ve Bizans arasında fark , 1 büyük imparatorluğun 2 ayrı imparator tarafından yönetildiği karmaşık dönemlerde olup biten tüm olayları farklı tarihçilerin bakış açılarına göre değerlendirilmiş. Aklımda kalan bazı çarpıcı noktalardan bahsedecek olursam: 1. İslamın doğuşu ve yayıldığı dönemlerin Bizans'ın gözünden nasıl algılandığı ve tarihsel sonuçlarıyla birlikte etkili biçimde anlatılmış. 2. Kuzey'den, Balkanlardan gelen "barbar" saldırıları, bu toplumların Roma'nın içine sızması , Romalılaşması ve hatta imparatorluğun altını oyması. 3. İkonoklastik dönem. Kitabın bazı bölümleri bana fazlaca ağır geldi. Justinianos döneminin yasa çalışmaları, hanedanları uzun uzun anlatıldığı bölümler vs. Ancak buralar istenirse hızlıca da geçilebilir sonuç olarak okuduğunuza asla pişman olmayacağınız bir eser.

Biblia Bizanțului.
Pe parte de istorie politică, e lux de amănunte.
Pe partea de literatură și arte nu m-a dat pe spate.
