Titoli in Medievale

Как долго продолжалось татаро-монгольское иго? Кто был автором "Слова о полку Игореве"? Кто назвал князя Александра Невским, а князя Ярослава Мудрым? На эти и многие другие вопросы отвечает доктор исторических наук, главный на-учный сотрудник Института российской истории РАН Антон Горский. В книге "Русское Средневековье" автор восстанавливает историческую справед-ливость и развенчивает некоторые мифы так называемой альтернативной истории. Взгляды А. Горского в ряде случаев отличаются от официально признанных, поэтому погружение в средневековую Русь становится еще более интересным.

Самая интересная аудиокнига про Средние века от автора бестселлера «Чумазое Средневековье». Мы читали о них в рыцарских романах и сатирических новеллах Боккаччо, видели в фильмах, разглядывали на картинах. Но единого мнения как не было, так и нет. Это и понятно – что может быть общего у благородных прекрасных принцесс, ради которых рыцари совершают подвиги, и грязных крестьянок, безропотно умирающих где-то там, на заднем плане сериала или романа?

Викинги очень непросты — они не только грабители и пираты, но еще и талантливые бизнесмены и кораблестроители, прекрасные ремесленники и ювелиры, писатели, сказители и художники, путешественники и просто авантюристы до мозга костей. В одной книге рассказать о них невозможно — невольно что-то останется за бортом.

The tenth century dawned in violence and disorder. Charlemagne’s empire was in ruins, most of Spain had been claimed by Moorish invaders, and even the papacy in Rome was embroiled in petty, provincial conflicts. To many historians, it was a prime example of the ignorance and uncertainty of the Dark Ages. Yet according to historian Paul Collins, the story of the tenth century is the story of our culture’s birth, of the emergence of our civilization into the light of day.

In Search of the Dark Ages is an unrivalled exploration of the origins of English identity, and the best-selling book that established Michael Wood as one of Britain's leading historians.

Un retrato poderoso, moderno, íntimo y profundamente humano de una era de destrucción extrema y creatividad excepcional, el renacimiento italiano, un periodo que moldeó la cultura occidental y que fue mucho más extraño, oscuro y fascinante de lo que nos han enseñado.

Radicales en sus ideas y dotados de una profunda espiritualidad, los cátaros rechazaban el materialismo, trataban como iguales a las mujeres, aceptaban la diferencia de credo, defendían el amor libre y afirmaban que el infierno no existía. Pero sobre todo, estos rebeldes pusieron en entredicho la autoridad de la Iglesia y su concepción del bien y del mal, provocando con ello que se tambaleara el sistema de valores impuestos.
