Description

Black Sea by Neal Ascherson

The superb Folio Society Edition of Neal Ascherson’s history of the Black Sea. First published in 1995, this edition is based on the text of the 2007 edition with a revised and updated Foreword by the author. ‘Like the terminal moraine of a glacier, the Black Sea shore is a place where the detritus of human migrations and invasions has been deposited for more than four thousand years’. Ascherson combines a personal narrative with a historian’s insight, in a lyrical and philosophical examination of the place where ‘civilisation’ met ‘barbarism’; trader encountered nomad, and different worlds collided. He ends this thoughtful book with the physical state of the Black Sea- the beluga, anchovy, sturgeon and dolphins, which once abounded, have fallen to record lows. It may be the ecological story, and not the human, which proves the final tragedy.
