Ghost Empire, a Journey to the Legendary Constantinople, Richard Fidler, 2017It seems strange that most people are not more aware of one of the most significant and impactful leaders in the history of the west. Constantine founded the city of Constantinople, now Istanbul and transformed Christianity, a minority eastern cult, into the majority religion of the Roman empire. This act transformed the future direction of the “western world morally, spiritually and politically”. “Constantine is why the provinces of Europe, Russia and eventually the Americas would form themselves into the self-described Christian nation states that endure today”. But what of the city he founded, a city that while the rest of Europe endured the dark ages, poverty and illiteracy was “home to universities, law schools, hospitals with woman doctors, precious Greek and Latin manuscripts on philosophy, mathematics and literature”. The cities preservation of this knowledge, known as the Corpus Hermeticom, was critical in the birth of the European renaissance and is why we today have access to philosophy of Plato and the plays of Aeschylus. “The golden and copper domes of the city welcomed merchants from Venice, China, India, Africa and Russia”. It was global trading city a thousand years before our own age of globalization, yet the thousand-year history of this gorgeous city on the Bosporus is also mostly unknown today by most people.Richard Fidler is a broadcast journalist from Australia. He has written an unusual history book in that it is a combination of travelogue and history. He takes his 13-year-old son on a trip to Istanbul and we accompany them as they visit Hagia Sophia while learning the history of this magnificent structure that has withstood earthquakes and invasion for over 1500 years. We walk the three and a half miles of the Walls of Theodosius and come to the very gate where the Janissaries finally broke through the cities defenses in 1453. We are swept along into amazing tales of history, tales of the rise of Christianity, Fall of empires, revenge, ambition, murder all the while walking the streets, experiencing a trip to this great city. JACK The Australian journalist Richard Fidler and his son Joe made a journey to Istanbul in 2014. When I started this book, I thought "This is going to be some sentimental thing about father-son relationship." Wel it is not: this book gives a good overview of the basics of history the Eastern Roman Empire and focusses at the same time on the 21st century Constantinople and the politics of the Erdogan and his AKP. The 3 emperors that get the most attention are Constantine I "the Great", Justinian I "the Great" and Heraclius and his heroic fight with the Persian Empire, his restoration of the Roman Empire and the tragedy of the Muslim conquest. Also the sack and fall of the City in 1204 and 1453 get a lot of attention.This book is an easy read: great for laymen as a first introduction to the history of the Eastern Roman Empire and Constantinople. And also for the scholar who wants a break from the "real" textbooks.
