Sinossi
L'enorme tesoro di bellissimi oggetti militari in oro rinvenuti in un campo nello Staffordshire ha attirato un'enorme attenzione sul misterioso mondo della Gran Bretagna del VII e VIII secolo. Chiaramente il prodotto di una società sofisticata, ricca e altamente militarizzata, gli oggetti sollevano innumerevoli domande su come possiamo comprendere le persone che un tempo camminavano nello stesso paesaggio in cui viviamo noi, che sono i nostri antenati e tuttavia hanno lasciato una traccia così esigua della loro presenza. La Gran Bretagna dopo Roma riunisce una ricchezza di ricerca e un impegno fantasioso per portarci il più vicino possibile ai secoli tumultuosi tra la partenza delle legioni romane e l'arrivo degli invasori normanni quasi sette secoli dopo. Mentre le città cadevano in totale decadenza, il cristianesimo scompariva e ondate di invasori si abbattevano sull'isola, si può facilmente supporre che la vita in Gran Bretagna diventasse intollerabile, e tuttavia questo è il mondo in cui sono state forgiate lingue e accordi politici moderni, sono sorte e cadute numerose culture affascinanti e si possono avere scorci allettanti, principalmente attraverso lo studio di edifici e sepolture, di un luogo sorprendente e resiliente. Il risultato di una vita di lavoro, la nuova importante aggiunta di Robin Fleming alla Penguin History of Britain non potrebbe essere più opportuna. Un libro riccamente piacevole, vario e sorprendente, Britain after Rome consente ai suoi lettori di vedere la storia della Gran Bretagna sotto una luce completamente nuova.

Britain After Rome
Da: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. The enormous hoard of beautiful gold military objects found in a field in Staffordshire has focused huge attention on the mysterious world of 7th and 8th century Britain. Clearly the product of a sophisticated, wealthy, highly militarized society, the objects beg innumerable questions about how we are to understand the people who once walked across the same landscape we inhabit, who are our ancestors and yet left such a slight record of their presence.Britain after Rome brings together a wealth of research and imaginative engagement to bring us as close as we can hope to get to the tumultuous centuries between the departure of the Roman legions and the arrival of Norman invaders nearly seven centuries later. As towns fell into total decay, Christianity disappeared and wave upon wave of invaders swept across the island, it can be too easily assumed that life in Britain became intolerable - and yet this is the world in which modern languages and political arrangements were forged, a number of fascinating cultures rose and fell and tantalizing glimpses, principally through the study of buildings and burials, can be had of a surprising and resilient place.The result of a lifetime of work, Robin Fleming's major new addition to the Penguin History of Britain could not be more opportune. A richly enjoyable, varied and surprising book, Britain after Rome allows its readers to see Britain's history in a quite new light. Codice articolo LU-9780140148237
