The World in the 13th Century

Recreated and described by Laurence Cantin and Catherine Reiser. Illustrations by Christelle Henau.
In this book, the world is presented as it was in the 13th century, from 1200 to 1299 - a century of outstanding people. Much later, it will be called in France "the Century of Louis the Saint" and will be considered a "golden age". This period is rich in military conflicts, explorations, technical inventions, and other events. A simultaneous immersion into the 13th century in different parts of the world allows for the appreciation and comparison of different cultures, vividly illustrating how diverse life can be in the same era.
