In the first volume of the three-volume work "Stories from Byzantium," the Roman world at its peak and extent unfolds before us. These are stories that refer to Constantine and his struggles for the recognition of the new spirit, the transfer of the center of the empire from West to East, the last resistance of the old religion with Julian, and the catalytic role of philosophers and the Church Fathers in reconciling Greek culture with the message of love of the new religion.

It refers to the triumphs and excesses of the era of the Great Theodosius, the great migrations of peoples, and the invasions of the empire, as well as the anxious and heroic efforts of Justinian to restore the expanse of the great empire. All of this presents a complete and vivid history of this world up to the sixth century.

The insight into everyday life topics, the imagination that completes, poetically license, the gaps of history, the dialogues and vivid descriptions, the simple and effortless narration, the smart selection of characters, themes, adventures, and the plot of the work make it captivating, and you can't put it down until you finish it.
