"The Last Day of Roman Empire - The Fall of Constantinople" is a sweeping historical narrative that captures the final breath of the thousand-year Roman dream. Through the eyes of emperors, soldiers, monks, and sultans, it recounts the last night of May 28, 1453 - when the walls of Constantinople faced the dawn for the final time.

Blending rigorous history with poetic depth, this book reveals the human hearts behind the fall: the courage of Constantine XI, the vision of Mehmed II, the faith of the citizens who prayed beneath the dome of Hagia Sophia as cannon fire tore the sky apart. It is not only the story of a siege, but of a civilization confronting its mortality - and of how its spirit survived in the art, faith, and thought that shaped the modern world.

Written with lyrical precision and historical authority, The Last Day of Roman Empire is both elegy and rebirth - a meditation on loss, legacy, and the eternal flame of human endurance.
