'A brilliant reconstruction of the saga of power, glory, invasion and decay that
is the one-thousand year story of Constantinople. A truly marvellous book.' -
Simon Winchester In 2014, Richard Fidler and his son Joe made a journey to
Istanbul. Fired by Richard's passion for the rich history of the dazzling
Byzantine Empire - centred around the legendary Constantinople - we are swept
into some of the most extraordinary tales in history. The clash of
civilisations, the fall of empires, the rise of Christianity, revenge, lust,
murder. Turbulent stories from the past are brought vividly to life at the same
time as a father navigates the unfolding changes in his relationship with his
son.GHOST EMPIRE is a revelation: a beautifully written ode to a lost
civilization, and a warmly observed father-son adventure far from home.
