"The suffering Middle Ages", a time of darkness and obscurantism, illuminated only by the light of the Inquisition's bonfires - this myth has long been a standard for historical literature. However, the Middle Ages are not only wars, plagues, crusades and famines: it was during this period that more inventions were made in Europe than in the previous thousand years. There was a real revolution in education: in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, universities were opened all over Europe. Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Rabelais, Chaucer - their genius was also nurtured by the Middle Ages. The book by Konstantin Alekseevich Ivanov (1858-1919) - historian and poet, director of the gymnasium in Tsarskoye Selo and teacher of the children of Nicholas II - will open to you the real Middle Ages. You will walk along the city streets, visit the castle and monastery, trade shops and workshops, look into the homes of noblemen and simple peasants, see weddings, festivals and knights' tournaments - in short, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of that distant and mysterious time.
