Meer over het boek
Who was Alexios Komnenos, who would fight in the East and West to save Byzantium from the brink of collapse? Which women loved him? Who tried to poison him? Why did his daughter, Anna Komnene, hate her brother, the co-emperor John? Why did his wife, Irene Doukaina, promote Nikephoros Bryennios to the throne? People and events, failures, tears and sorrows, hopes, visions that faded, joys that vanished, pettiness and passions. The novel "A Purple Cap" aims to revive the last flicker of Byzantium and take us on a journey through those difficult years, through the narrative of an obscure courtier, who, retired in Sinope of Pontus, recalls, filled with awe, the past.
