Annoying Background Music
- De Kevin Ritter en 09-17-19
Wonderful!
Revisado: 09-13-23
I plan to listen to this again before making my upcoming trip to Turkey and Greece. The author provides detailed information about each site I plan to visit (I skipped the ones not on my itinerary) and explains its history and importance to our culture. He tells amazing facts, and some great tales that he warns might not be true but will make great cocktail party conversations.

The long agony of the “sick man of Europe”, an expression used by the tsar of Russia to depict the falling Ottoman Empire, could almost blind people to its incredible power and history. Preserving its mixed heritage - coming from both its geographic position, rising above the ashes of the Byzantine Empire, and the tradition inherited from the Muslim conquests - the Ottoman Empire lasted more than six centuries.

Greek arts, philosophy, science, and political discourse were a true gift to the world. In this audiobook, you will explore the ancient Greeks, the Byzantine Empire, the Greek War of Independence, the Megali Idea, the military junta, and modern-day governance - this audiobook covers Greek history from start to finish.

Terrible narrator
Revisado: 04-14-23
I couldn't stand the annoying mannerisms of the narrator, and the way he mispronounced words. The content Ok but I found this very hard to finish.
