Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Life and Work in Medieval Europe' is an authoritative and expansive study of the economic and social evolution of Europe from the fifth to the fifteenth century. This classic historical work traces the transformation of the continent from the collapse of the Roman administration through the heights of the feudal system to the emergence of early modern capitalism. Prosper Boissonnade offers a detailed analysis of the daily lives and labor conditions of the masses, examining the roles of the peasantry, artisans, and merchants in shaping a new civilization. The text explores key themes such as the rise of serfdom and its eventual decline, the development of the manorial system, the revival of maritime trade, and the flourishing of medieval towns. By focusing on the organization of labor and the expansion of industry and commerce, Boissonnade provides a vivid portrait of the forces that drove European progress for a millennium. Recognized for its scholarly depth and accessible narrative, this work remains an essential resource for understanding the foundations of the Western economy.
