About this product

Product Information

From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth - the dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history's greatest poets, philosophers, painters, adventurers, and reformers, as well as some of its most spectacular villains - the Renaissance.

Great old bestseller!
Read it years ago and loved it; bought this one for a friend who's also chewing through it quickly. I'm delighted to be able to find it and buy it so easily.

Excellent Book
This book has everything you need to know about the medieval times. It was required for me to buy it for an AP European History class. I have to admit it is quite interesting. If you need more info on the medieval times, this is your book.

A World Lit Only by Fire by William Manchester
I bought this book because it was part of my daughter's required summer reading for school. WHen I was in the book auctions, I was able to get what I needed for less than half of what I was charged by our local used bookstore (The tax at the bookstore offset the S/H of the auction. What a no-brainer!
