Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Gut. First Edition. XVII, 318 p. Dust jacket somewhat faded at the spine due to light, otherwise a good and clean copy. - A World Lit Only by Fire is 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 trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In hand- somely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narra- tive history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its richest rebirth. "Shackled in ignorance, disciplined by fear, and sheathed in superstition, [medieval men] trudged into the sixteenth century toward the future they thought they knew gullible, pitiful innocents who were about to be swept up in the most powerful, incompre- hensible, irresistible vortex since Alaric had led his Visigoths and Huns across the Alps, fallen on Rome, and extinguished the lamp of learning a thousand years before." The explosion of energy known as the Renaissance produced spectacular villains. A mood of licentiousness spawned such figures as Cesare Borgia, model for Machiavelli's Prince, and his lewd sister, the lovely sensual- ist Lucrezia. Torquemada presided over the Spanish Inquisition and devised some of history's most intricate torture chambers. Yet the age also boasted courageous pioneers, among them perhaps the ultimate mariner, Ferdinand Magellan, who in his quest for the Spice Islands circumnavigated the globe. Magellan's epic voyage, explains Manchester, brought the world's place in the cosmos into stark new relief, and so ushered in the modern age. With the Renaissance came humanism and its implicit threat to unquestioning faith. But humanism's dangers were overshadowed by Martin Luther's thunderous demands for religious 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 religious fanaticism for their own political and personal purposes. At the same time, art flourished across Europe as never before or since. The Sistine Chapel's frescoes and Raphael's Madonnas sprang up in Rome, Florence was transformed into a living museum. Da Vinci's forays into cartography, anatomy, and applied science, made as he put the finishing touches on the Mona Lisa, were felt all over Europe. In France, Rabelais spun out his audacious tales, and in Germany 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 - a world in its beginnings, lit only by fire - his riveting observation of the collapse of the medieval mind and its spec- tacular metamorphosis into the Renaissance, is assuredly one of the triumphs of his career. / ARRAY List of Illustrations List of Maps Author's Note I The Medieval Mind II The Shattering III One Man Alone Acknowledgments and Sources Index ISBN 9780316545310 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 648.
