Description
Peter Heather, autor de La caída del Imperio romano, nos propone una visión innovadora de la historia de los bárbaros. Basándose en los nuevos hallazgos de la arqueología, combate el tópico de una Europa dividida en la antigüedad entre un Imperio romano próspero y cultivado y unos espacios habitados por tribus de bárbaros pobres e incivilizados. Esta pudo haber sido la situación a comienzos de la era cristiana, pero en los siglos siguientes cambió profundamente y hacia el año mil de nuestra era el mundo europeo, del Atlántico a los Urales, se había transformado: habían surgido estados homogéneos y poderosos, mientras el viejo mundo romano se derrumbaba. En lugar de invasiones de hordas salvajes, Heather nos habla de migraciones que se asemejan a las de nuestro mundo globalizado y de un proceso de desarrollo que creó nuevas formas de organización social. Como ha dicho Mary Beard, este libro aporta nueva luz sobre las grandes migraciones de la antigüedad que cambiaron nuestro mundo.
