Not famous rulers, cruel wars, or memorable events are the focus of historian Ian Mortimer, but rather the everyday life of people in the Middle Ages: How did they celebrate? What did they laugh about? How did they love? Mortimer describes the scents of the narrow streets, the meals the residents prepared, and how people communicated swiftly without mobile phones and SMS. Finally, a book that shows that history can not only be studied but also experienced on a journey through time!.
