Editor's Note:
O istorie fascinantă a sud-estului Europei, din Antichitate până în prezent, care ne dezvăluie o zonă tumultuoasă, unde s-au întâlnit și s-au schimbat bunuri, idei și religii.Ne gândim adesea la Balcani ca la o regiune marcată de tulburări și de înapoiere, dar din Antichitatea târzie până în zilele noastre acesta a fost un loc de întâlnire dinamic al culturilor și religiilor. Combinând analiza profundă cu flerul narativ, Butoiul cu pulbere ne invită să reconsiderăm istoria acestei regiuni fascinante și diverse ca esențială pentru istoria întregii Europe.Marie-Janine Calic dezvăluie numeroasele moduri în care poziția Europei de Sud-Est la intersecția Estului cu Vestul a conturat evoluțiile continentale și globale. Începuturile capitalismului comercial în lumea mediteraneeană au ajutat cavalerii din Balcani în lupta lor cu otomanii în secolul al XV-lea. Atracția profundă a naționalismului a determinat un tânăr sârb studios să aprindă scânteia Primului Război Mondial. Finalul secolului XX a fost martorul răspândirii necontrolate a islamului politic într-o regiune în care creștinii și musulmanii au trăit împreună secole de-a rândul. Pe lângă instantaneele pline de culoare ale unor momente definitorii pentru istorie, incluzând evenimente de la Kruja în 1450 până la Sarajevo în 1984, Calic ne face cunoștință cu figuri fascinante rareori prezente în istoriile standard ale Europei.Ne întâlnim cu negustorul și poetul grec Rigas Velestinlis, al cărui pamflet revoluționar a chemat la o revoltă generală împotriva tiraniei otomane în 1797. Și cu episcopul croat Dominik Stratiko, care a susținut cu pasiune egalitatea între sexe și al cărui succes la femei l-a uimit până și pe prietenul lui, Casanova. Reevaluarea ambițioasă a lui Calic ne extinde și ne aprofundează înțelegerea amestecului mereu în schimbare de popoare, credințe și civilizații din acest creuzet imperial de cele mai multe ori neglijat
