A few words regarding the book
What is the continent we call Europe?
When and how was its newest civilization founded?
What bright minds and what vicious personalities wrote its brightest pages and bloodiest chapters?
In this book we will answer all of the above and we will see European history as we have never seen it before. We’ll meet extravagantly crowned, scheming clerics and perverted monks. We will talk regarding shrewd merchants, conniving bankers, greedy seafarers and swashbuckling sailors.
We will see minorities oppressed, women abused, scientists tortured and artists inspired, while we read regarding paradoxical perceptions, spicy mysteries, gourmet recipes, sex scandals and deadly intrigues. But, above all, we will wonder regarding human nature, a nature capable of the greatest achievements and the worst disasters…
Europe in 11+1 stories. From the outbreak of the medieval plague, to the Florentine Renaissance.
From the Conquest of Constantinople, to the conquest of America and India. From the erotic customs of the Europeans, to the great artists of the High Renaissance.
From the Reformation, to the Witch Hunt and the Scientific Revolution.
From the magnificent Baroque, to the golden age of French absolutism and to an earthquake that shook the Europeans.
Society, economy, art, science, politics and all the events that shaped European culture, given with humor, and at the same time with essential seriousness and love for man.
