Krátky popis
The essential introduction to the Middle Ages by the bestselling
author of The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval EnglandWe tend to
think of the Middle Ages as a dark, backward and unchanging time
characterised by violence, ignorance and superstition. By contrast
we believe progress arose from science and technological
innovation, and that inventions of recent centuries created the
modern world. We couldn't be more wrong.As Ian Mortimer shows in
this fascinating book, people's horizons - their knowledge,
experience and understanding of the world - expanded dramatically.
Life was utterly transformed between 1000 and 1600, marking the
transition from a warrior-led society to that of Shakespeare. Just
as The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England revealed what it
was like to live in the fourteenth century, Medieval Horizons
provides the perfect primer to the era as a whole.It outlines the
enormous cultural changes that took place - from literacy to living
standards, inequality and even the developing sense of self -
thereby correcting misconceptions and presenting the period as a
revolutionary age of fundamental importance in the development of
the Western world. Praise for Ian Mortimer:'The endlessly inventive
Ian Mortimer is the most remarkable medieval historian of our time'
