The looting of barbarians of the once powerful, and in 410 lying in the ruins of Rome marked the end of the former era and the beginning of a thousand -year -old deep transformation. In an exciting narrative, abounding well -known names - from St. Augustine and Attila to the Prophet Muhammad and Alienora Aquitaine - Dan Jones explores the history of the Middle Ages and accompanies readers on a journey through developing Europe, the great capitals of late antiquity and influential cities of the Islamic West. The medieval world was formed by powerful forces that are relevant today: climate change, pandemia, mass migration and technological revolutions. It was a time when the great European nations were born, the main Western systems of law and management were codified, the Christian church became a powerful institution and regulator of Western public morality, and art, architecture, philosophical research and scientific thought experienced periods of revolutionary changes. The West was restored on the ruins of the Roman Empire and left the state of the crisis, starting to dominate the world. Each sphere of human life and activity felt transformations on itself.
“We will swing at dizzying speed for centuries and continents. We will meet hundreds of men and women, from the leader of the Huns of Attila to Jeanne d’Arc. And we will plunge with our heads into a dozen various historical industries, from jurisprudence and military affairs to art and literature. I am going to ask a number of important questions - and I hope I can find answers to them. What happened in the Middle Ages? Who ruled then? What did the authorities look like? What great forces influenced people"s lives? How the Middle Ages formed the world that we know today - and is it possible to ask such a question at all? Sometimes it may seem to you that all this is too difficult for perception. But, I promise, it will be interesting. ” (Dan Jones)
