Bright Middle Ages. A New Perspective on the History of Europe from the 5th to the 14th Century.

The medieval world is filled with sunlight through stained glass. Golden reliquaries adorned with precious stones sparkle before the passing armies. People of different religions and beliefs coexist, fight, and trade with each other. Here, the best sailors are the... Vikings, and silk, spices, incense, precious metals, furs, weapons, and enslaved people hold special value in the world market.
The geography of the Middle Ages is vast. While deep in the north, the population is busy burning their fallen rulers along with their still-living slaves in a bright flame in the midst of a wide lake, in the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, drowning in the fragrance of blooming herbs, music and visual arts are being born.
The reader will visit and peek into all corners of the Bright Middle Ages—from the greenery-surrounded Ravenna to the cold shores of Alaska, travel with caravans across endless plains and mighty rivers, and finally form their own evaluative judgment about the nearly thousand-year legendary era.
