In Russian, the book of one of the most authoritative French media historians, Professor Sorbonne Fossier, "people of the Middle Ages", is published for the first time. This book is the fruit of the author’s reflection, which has absorbed the fullness of his research experience and amazing erudition. On the pages of his work, Robert Fossier creates a collective portrait of medieval people, or rather, a portrait of the "silent majority" - commoners, peasants, artisans who made up 90 % of medieval society. It is their author who considers the main characters of the majestic era as the Middle Ages. Right, war, family, marriage, environment, faith, feelings and values - it suggests all this phossier to look from a different angle - the eyes of commoners, looking outside the ceremonial areas of medieval cities, which were covered by "workers" quarters". Fossier cleanses the history of the Middle Ages of numerous stamps, prejudices and myths that have developed over the centuries thanks to stereotypical school education and a raid of colorful romanticism. Robert Fossier is interested in that medieval people thought about themselves, and not what historians and politicians think of them. His book is the real exposure of the “black” and "gold ”legends of the Middle Ages, firmly memorized by us since childhood. And this is what makes her reading truly fascinating and exciting
