Descriere magazin:
Heroes and Marvels of the Middle Ages is a history like no other: it is a history of the imagination, presented between two celebrated groups of the period. One group consists of heroes: Charlemagne, El Cid, King Arthur, Orlando, Pope Joan, Melusine, Merlin the Wizard, and also the fox and the unicorn. The other is the miraculous, represented here by three forms of power that dominated medieval society: the cathedral, the castle, and the cloister. Roaming between the boundaries of the natural and the supernatural, between earth and the heavens, the medieval universe is illustrated by a shared iconography, covering a vast geographical span. This imaginative history is also a continuing story, which presents the heroes and marvels of the Middle Ages as the times defined them: venerated, then bequeathed to future centuries where they have continued to live and transform through remembrance of the past, adaptation to the present, and openness to the future. About the Author A renowned specialist in the Middle Ages and member of the cole des Annales, Jacques Le Goff (1924-2014) was director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, Paris. He is the author of many books including The Middle Ages Explained in Pictures . Teresa Lavender Fagan is a freelance translator living in Chicago.
