An amazing piece of non-fiction. Fremantle truly shines in this enchanting account of turbulent times. Very well done.
I remember repeatedly checking this book out from the local library as a child, simply for the photos. I was thrilled to see it years later on a library book sale table. Photography was still impressive after all these years.
A good synthesis of European divergence from one creed.
An account of the rise of religion and the Church in Europe following the fall of Rome, from 494 to 1453, as told by the editors of Time-Life.
Part of the Time-Life Series, "Great Ages Man". Excellent overview of what once was called "The Dark Ages".
Mediaeval Europe and Christianity.
very readable
