«El Mar Negro: cuna de la civilización y la barbarie» is Neal Ascherson's history book, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (416 pages).
Neal Ascherson traces the history of the Black Sea and the peoples who inhabited its shores: Greek colonies, nomads and settlers, empires and cultures in contact. The book analyses the clash between West and East, and between civilisation and barbarism, which made the region a melting pot of mixture and conflict for centuries.
Originally published as Black Sea in 1995, the book was issued in Spanish in 2004 and received the Saltire Society Literary Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
It will appeal to readers of European history and to those seeking a cultural and geographical approach to the Black Sea region.
