This is the peak of the heyday of medieval civilization, when the former Roman forts, such as True, overthrowing the centuries -old defense against ruthless invaders and developing economics, turned into the centers of the intersection of lively trade routes, rich European cities, which had yet to encounter the exhausting breathing of cruel wars the next centuries and epidemics of black death. The authors reconstruct the life of a rich and poor family, a housewife and her servant, a merchant and artisan, a doctor and a schoolboy, simultaneously talking about the customs and traditions of that period who had long gone into oblivion. Watching how life flows in a medieval city, where it seems to the last page, and it seems to have lived for more than one year - you open the window into an amazing, difficultly arranged and colorful world, which, even from the point of view of all the achievements of the 21st century, can not be called “backwards” Middle Ages
