A superb book about the clash of civilizations. BLACK SEA is at once a homage to an ocean and to it shores and an amazingly readable meditation on Eurasian history from the earliest times to the present.It evokes the culture, history and politics of the volatile region along these colourful and complex shores. It is the place where the idea of ''barbarism'' was born. It is still one of the world''s great faultlines.
