The illustrated history of the Middle Ages

The “suffering from the Middle Ages”, the time of darkness and obscurantism, illuminated only by the light of the bonfires of the Inquisition - this myth has long become the standard for historical literature.
However, the Middle Ages are not only wars, plague, crusades and hunger: it was during this period that more inventions were made in Europe than in the previous thousand years. A real coup in education was committed: in the XIV and XV centuries, universities opened throughout Europe. Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, Petrarka, Bokkaccio, Rabelais, Choser - their genius also blocked the Middle Ages.
The book of Konstantin Alekseevich Ivanov (1858-1919) - historian and poet, director of the gymnasium in Tsarskoye Selo and Teachers of children of Nicholas II - will reveal the real Middle Ages to you. You take a walk along the city streets, visit the castle and the monastery, in trading shops and workshops, look into the homes of noble people and ordinary peasants, see weddings, holidays and knightly tournaments - in a word, plunge into the atmosphere of that distant and mysterious time
