>Living in the apocalyptic decadence of a great civilization, drowning in bureaucracies managing its slow decline.

Hi, thanks for the recommendation, I found this book in Russian. Although I know English modestly.

Thank you for the review. Now please stop calling the Eastern Romans the Byzantines ... 😉
