Lascaris: Ou, les Grecs du Quinzième Siècle (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book poignantly captures the tragic twilight of the Byzantine Empire through the eyes of Lascaris, a Greek scholar fleeing the ruins of Constantinople after its fall to the Ottoman Turks. As Lascaris and his fellow refugees seek sanctuary in Italy, they encounter both sympathy and hostility, as the religious and cultural differences between East and West clash. The author delves into the complex interplay of faith, politics, and art during this tumultuous period, highlighting the profound impact of the loss of Constantinople on the Greek people. The narrative explores the tension between the desire to preserve tradition and the need for adaptation, as the refugees grapple with the challenge of maintaining their cultural heritage in a foreign land. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and empathetic portrayal of a pivotal moment in history, shedding light on the enduring legacy of the Byzantine Empire and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
