Présentation de l'éditeur :
From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth-the dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history's greatest poets, philosophers, painters, adventurers, and reformers, as well as some of its most spectacular villains- the Renaissance.

William Manchester was a hugely successful popular historian and biographer whose books include The Last Lion, Volumes 1 and 2, Goodbye Darkness, A World Lit Only by Fire, The Glory and the Dream, The Arms of Krupp, American Caesar, The Death of the President, and assorted works of journalism.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 318 pages. Historian William Manchester's grand journey into one of the most fascinating periods in the history of the Western world. From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of tria l by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and wi th his gift for narrative history, Manchester leads us from a civ ilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of i ts richest rebirth. The explosion of energy known as the Renaissa nce produced spectacular villains. A mood of licentiousness spawn ed such figures as Cesare Borgia, model for Machiavelli's Prince, and his lewd sister, the lovely sensualist Lucrezia. Torquemada presided over the Spanish Inquisition and devised some of history 's most intricate torture chambers. Yet the age also boasted cour ageous pioneers, among them perhaps the ultimate mariner, Ferdina nd Magellan, who in his quest for the Spice Islands circumnavigat ed the globe. Magellan's epic voyage, explains Manchester, brough t the world's place in the cosmos into stark new relief, and so u shered in the modern age. With the Renaissance came humanism and its implicit threat to unquestioning faith. But humanism's danger s were overshadowed by Martin Luther's thunderous demands for rel igious reform. His attack on the papacy, equaled in its savagery by the papal response, split Europe into warring camps, as kings and emperors--from Henry VIII to Charles V--used the resulting fa naticism for their own political and personal purposes. At the sa me time, art flourished across Europe as never before or since. T he Sistine Chapel's frescoes and Raphael's Madonnas sprang up in Rome; Florence was transformed into a living museum. Da Vinci's f orays into cartography, anatomy, and applied science, made as he put the finishing touches on the Mona Lisa, were felt all over Eu rope. In France, Rabelais spun out his audacious tales, and in Ge rmany and Belgium, Dürer and Brueghel portrayed a whole new world . William Manchester's glorious exploration of the sordidness and the splendor of the Middle Ages, and his riveting observation of the collapse of the medieval mind and its spectacular metamorpho sis into the Renaissance, is one of the triumphs of his career.-- Adapted from dust jacket.
