ASCHERSON, N., Black Sea. Jonathan Cape, London, 1995. XI,306p. Cloth wrps.'A genuinely compelling book: erudite, original, beautifully written, and filled with the kinds of stories that bring obscure places alive.' (ANNE APPLEBAUM in Literary Review). Black Sea is a book about a great inland sea, and about European history from the time of Herodotus to the fall of Communism and the new world order. It is full of tragic disappearances and unforgettable stories, whether they are about on obscure Greek orator of the second century or a glamorous Polish spy in the age of nationalism.
