Esta obra fundamental de Steven Runciman narra los acontecimientos del 30 de marzo de 1282, cuando el pueblo siciliano se levantó contra la administración angevina en un evento conocido como las Vísperas Sicilianas. Más que un simple relato de una revuelta, el autor ofrece un análisis magistral del mundo mediterráneo durante el siglo XIII, explorando las complejas dinámicas políticas y sociales de la época. El libro sirve además como una guía histórica esencial para comprender el trasfondo de la 'Divina Comedia' de Dante, detallando las figuras políticas que aparecen en la obra y su contexto histórico. Es una lectura imprescindible para los interesados en la historia medieval europea y la historia de Italia.
Sir James Cochran Stevenson Runciman, known as Steven Runciman, was an English historian best known for his three-volume A History of the Crusades (1951–54). His works had a profound impact on the popular conception of the Crusades within the Western world, although Runciman considered himself "not a historian, but a writer of literature," and British historian Christopher Tyerman considers Runciman's History to be the "last chronicle of the crusades". Runciman summarized the Crusades as "nothing more than a long act of intolerance in the name of God, which is a sin against the Holy Ghost."
