Power gleans details of the lives of these people from numerous sources, and, at least in the case of the peasant, Bodo, uses these sources to create a composite character, due to the lack of sufficient historical information about any one historical person. Powers describes the lives, homes, general living conditions and practices, the towns and villages, and the working and leasure time of her subjects. With varying degrees of success, Powers is able to bring three-dimensional figures to life, and at the end of this work, one feels like one is leaving new friends. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys cultural history or simply wants a better idea of medieval life. Os. “Anche il popolo nel suo complesso, le masse anonime e indistinte del popolo che ora dormono in tombe sconosciute hanno avuto infine il loro riconoscimento”: così scrive Eileen Power, e in questo libro descrive la vita di sei personaggi medievali, individui comuni (ma rappresentativi) realmente esistiti, basandosi su documenti e testimonianze dell'epoca. Due sono famosi (Marco Polo e Madama Eglentyne, che è un personaggio letterario, ma sembra vero); gli altri quattro fanno parte della schiera dei comuni esseri umani che vivono e muoiono quasi senza lasciare tracce, minuscole increspature inosservate nel mare, a volte tempestoso, della storia. Vivace e spigliato, ben tradotto e di lettura assai piacevole, un piccolo classico di divulgazione storica. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Every schoolboy knows that the Middle Ages arose on the ruins of the Roman Empire. The decline of Rome preceded and in some ways prepared the rise of the kingdoms and cultures which composed the medieval system. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
