The book by the famous historian Francis Vaines is devoted to a crucial period in European history - the unusually long and eventful XVI century. It is the most important milestone, which absorbed the features of the fading Middle Ages with its witch hunts, Reformation, and brutal wars, and the New Age, the era of change and scientific discoveries. War follows war, revolts break out in Europe, witches are burned at the stake. Ottoman armies invade Europe. Martin Luther writes the 95 Theses, for which he is excommunicated. The borders of the Habsburg domains extend so far that they are later called the empire "over which the sun never sets".
The author unfolds a colorful canvas on which Emperor Charles V and William of Orange, great artists and the harsh Inquisition have found a place. In one mesmerizing book, Vaines managed to capture the entire XVI century, which laid the foundations of modern society. Neither famous monarchs nor the most ordinary people escaped the historian's attention.
