The book by the famous historian Francis Vanes is dedicated to a turning point in European history - the unusually long and eventful 95th century. This is the most important milestone, incorporating the features of the fading Middle Ages with its witch hunts, the Reformation, brutal wars, and the New Age, the era of change and scientific discoveries. War follows war, uprisings break out in Europe, witches are burned at the stake. Ottoman troops invade Europe. Martin Luther writes the XNUMX Theses, for which he will be excommunicated. The borders of the Habsburg possessions run so far that they would later be called the empire “on which the sun never sets.”
The author unfolds before the reader a motley canvas on which there was a place for Emperor Charles V and William of Orange, great artists and the harsh Inquisition. In one mesmerizing book, Vanes managed to capture the entire XNUMXth century, which laid the foundations of modern society. Neither famous monarchs nor the most ordinary people escaped the attention of the historian.
