Medieval World-Hardcover

In the first book of the series, The Ancient World, which deals with world history in four main periods: Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance and Modern, Susan Wise Bauer discussed the rise of kingdoms in all ancient civilizations around the world. However, between the 4th and 12th centuries, rulers developed a new legitimacy for their power and turned to divine truth or divine grace to justify their political and military actions. Authority was replaced by power to build empires.

The Medieval World tells the history of the medieval world in a simple and perfect language, addressing not only the great struggles in Eastern and Western Europe, but also the tremendous power struggles in North Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, Central Asia and the Americas. From the Great Schism between Rome and Constantinople to the rise of the Sang Dynasty, from the Prophet Muhammad to the coronation of Charlemagne, from the holy wars of India to the beginning of the Crusades, it tells the violent story of kings, emperors, generals and the people they ruled. As in the first book, it shows that a history book of this thickness, far from being difficult to understand, can have an extremely lively narrative that can be read with pleasure.

Susan Wise Bauer learned Latin at the age of ten and was classically educated at home under her parents' guidance until she entered college at seventeen. During his versatile and comprehensive education, in which he specialized in literature, American and religious history, he added languages such as Greek, Aramaic and Korean to his repertoire, creating a solid infrastructure for his studies. Considered one of the most important experts in the field of home education, Bauer's history books, especially for both young people and adults, quickly stood out among similar works and took their place among reliable and bestselling educational books.

"Bauer continues his narrative of world history, distinguished by his mastery of the historical material of the period (as in the Ancient World) and the perfection of his language."
