Have just finished reading two more books on Middle Ages. I already reviewed one published in this series, and was eager to read more.
Amazing how the Russian medievists made it a popular Internet topic: just by creating memes and making flamboyant public talks on the subject.
Both books tell the reader in a very fun and absorbing way how we should understand the art and history of this period.
Both also contain a lot of colorful plates inside to illustrate and remember everything better.
English titles: S. Zotov, M. Majzuljs, D. Ķarman “Suffering Middle Ages”; Valierija Kosiakova “Apocalypse of the Middle Ages
Original titles (Russian): С. Зотов, М. Майзульс, Д. Харман “Страдающее Средневековье”; Валерия Косякова “Апокалипсис Средневековья”
