In this book, A. Asimov writes about one of the most ancient and beautiful cities in the world, founded by Emperor Constantine. It was called the "golden bridge between Europe and the West"; Western Europe traded with the Black Sea region, Iran, India, and China through the capital of the East. It was a cultural center with its own university, a city where crafts flourished. The future Christian world was gaining strength here. The capital of Byzantium was the subject of envious glances from European and Eastern conquerors, it was threatened by the Huns, Arabs, Slavs, Normans, and Seljuk Turks, it was subjected to attacks and long sieges. But the most terrible test was the Crusades, the last of which became fatal for the city.
