La civiltà dell'occidente medievale

Trama

In this engrossing study of an 1,100-year period that transformed ancient Europe, celebrated medievalist Jacques Le Goff explores the startling contradictions that helped to forge a durable civilization. It was a period of violence and bloodshed, in which plague and harsh natural conditions conspired against progress. It was also a period of nation-building and considerable achievements in the arts, sciences, and technology.
