UPDATED WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR It is the place where ‘barbarism’ was born. This is a story of Greeks, Scythians, Samatians, Huns, Goths, Turks, Russians, Ukrainians and Poles. 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. 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. It explores the culture, history and politics of the volatile region which surrounds the Black Sea.

Black Sea is a homage to an ocean and its shores and a meditation on Eurasian history, from the earliest times to the present.

An acclaimed, award-winning book on a fascinating subject, recently revised and updated by the author.
