'Constantinopla' describe los orígenes, el ascenso, el apogeo y la decadencia de ese 'imperio olvidado' que fue el Imperio Bizantino, desde la fundacion de Bizancio en el año 657 a.C., hasta su caída en 1453 y el comienzo de la hegemonía turca. Asimov se nos revela como un autor bastante entretenido en el escrito historico y nos desvela la historia de una civilizacion cercana y a la vez sumamente desconocida para el ciudadano occidental.
