"The Balkans have become a byword for vengeance, hatred and political instability in which the forces of nationalism are endemic and make civilised life impossible. Mark Mazower's illuminating new history allows us to get beyond the stereotypes and demonstrates - through the voices of the region's many diverse inhabitants - how daily life has gone on through the centuries. Monks, peasants, brigands and travellers, Christians, Muslims and Jews speak of the deeper forces that have shaped life and death in the Balkans. Stretching from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and taking us right up to the present, this book ignores the current cacophony of soundbites to reveal a reality far richer and more exciting than we ever imagined."--Provided by the publisher.
