Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Early Ages, Vol. 2 of 2 Procrastination is not the failing of an uncivilized people accustomed to sudden migrations, and exposed to all the chances and casualties of war, the Goths, knowing that if they did not snatch their happiness at the moment it might be lost to them for ever, were rather prone to act with a reckless precipitation than to temporize; J arl, therefore, had 'no sooner made up his mind to his daughter's marriage, than he wished it to be celebrated immediately, observing that as the war had now commenced, and the Romans were no sluggish enemies, it was impossible to say what circum stances might arise to prevent their nuptials if they were deferred.

Download or read book The Light Ages: The Surprising Story of Medieval Science written by Seb Falk and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2020 by The Telegraph, The Times, and BBC History Magazine An illuminating guide to the scientific and technological achievements of the Middle Ages through the life of a crusading astronomer-monk. "Falk’s bubbling curiosity and strong sense of storytelling always swept me along. By the end, The Light Ages didn’t just broaden my conception of science; even as I scrolled away on my Kindle, it felt like I was sitting alongside Westwyk at St. Albans abbey, leafing through dusty manuscripts by candlelight." —Alex Orlando, Discover Soaring Gothic cathedrals, violent crusades, the Black Death: these are the dramatic forces that shaped the medieval era. But the so-called Dark Ages also gave us the first universities, eyeglasses, and mechanical clocks. As medieval thinkers sought to understand the world around them, from the passing of the seasons to the stars in the sky, they came to develop a vibrant scientific culture. In The Light Ages, Cambridge science historian Seb Falk takes us on a tour of medieval science through the eyes of one fourteenth-century monk, John of Westwyk. Born in a rural manor, educated in England’s grandest monastery, and then exiled to a clifftop priory, Westwyk was an intrepid crusader, inventor, and astrologer. From multiplying Roman numerals to navigating by the stars, curing disease, and telling time with an ancient astrolabe, we learn emerging science alongside Westwyk and travel with him through the length and breadth of England and beyond its shores. On our way, we encounter a remarkable cast of characters: the clock-building English abbot with leprosy, the French craftsman-turned-spy, and the Persian polymath who founded the world’s most advanced observatory. The Light Ages offers a gripping story of the struggles and successes of an ordinary man in a precarious world and conjures a vivid picture of medieval life as we have never seen it before. An enlightening history that argues that these times weren’t so dark after all, The Light Ages shows how medieval ideas continue to color how we see the world today.

Download or read book Mythology in the Middle Ages written by Christopher R. Fee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placing heroes from a wide range of medieval traditions shoulder to shoulder, this title provides the opportunity to examine what is common across medieval mythic, legendary, and folkloric traditions, as well as what seems unique. Myths of gods, legends of battles, and folktales of magic abound in the heroic narratives of the Middle Ages. Mythology in the Middle Ages: Heroic Tales of Monsters, Magic, and Might describes how Medieval heroes were developed from a variety of source materials: Early pagan gods become euhemerized through a Christian lens, and an older epic heroic sensibility was exchanged for a Christian typological and figural representation of saints. Most startlingly, the faces of Christian martyrs were refracted through a heroic lens in the battles between Christian standard-bearers and their opponents, who were at times explicitly described in demonic terms. The book treats readers to a fantastic adventure as author Christopher R. Fee guides them on the trail of some of the greatest heroes of medieval literature. Discussing the meanings of medieval mythology, legend, and folklore through a wide variety of fantastic episodes, themes, and motifs, the journey takes readers across centuries and through the mythic, legendary, and folkloric imaginations of different peoples. Coverage ranges from the Atlantic and Baltic coasts of Europe, south into the Holy Roman Empire, west through the Iberian peninsula, and into North Africa. From there, it is east to Byzantium, Russia, and even the far reaches of Persia.

Book excerpt: The Bronze Age. The era of Troy, of Gilgamesh, of the dawning of human mastery over the earth. For decades, fantasists have set tales of heroism and adventure in imagined worlds based on the real Bronze Age, from the "Hyborean Age" of the Conan stories to the Third Age of Middle-earth. Now bestselling science fiction and fantasy author Harry Turtledove, a noted expert on the ancient world, teams up with author and Egyptologist Noreen Doyle to present fourteen new tales of the real Bronze Age from some of the best writers in science fiction. In The First Heroes: here is Gene Wolfe's mock-journal of a man from the future who travels with figures out of history and mythology; Judith Tarr's tale of a town that sends its resident goddess to try to learn the secrets of the morose God of Chariots; Harry Turtledove's story about mythological beings witnessing the devastating effect of the first humans on the Earth's natural order; and a poignant new story from the late Poul Anderson, in which a modern scholar is sent to the late Bronze Age to witness the end of an era, emerging with memories from the past as vibrant and intact as those from his accustomed life. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Excerpt: ... aside her head, he keenly scrutinized her figure. Although clad with a studied, almost with a homely plainness and simplicity, far different from the bridal finery in which he had last seen her, he could not be mistaken in the fine proportions of her form. A second, though momentary, glimpse of her features, confirmed this impression, when several persons seated themselves beside her, and completely intercepted his view. With what impatience he awaited the dismissal of the congregation, can only be judged by the young and enraptured lover, who, after being long in doubt as to the very existence of his mistress, sees her unexpectedly restored to his hopes, with the conviction of her unimpaired health, and in the full persuasion, of her undiminished affection. There was but one door of exit from the gallery, at which Sebastian stationed himself, peering intently into the faces of all who passed, until he saw the object of his search coming towards him, accompanied by two other females, attired in the same formal garb as herself, but of more advanced age. " It is Lydia! it is my own long-lost Lydia!" he exclaimed, clasping his hands together as she reached the door. Starting at the sound of her name, she gazed upon the speaker with a look of profound amazement, and ejaculating," Dearest Sebastian! is it you?" leaned upon one of her companions for support; recovering herself, however, in a mo-ment, she whispered to Sebastian, " We are in the presence of the faithful, before whom it would not be decorous to display any unspiritual emotion. The door of the Lord's house is no place for idle colloquy; follow me to my dwelling, and we can mutually explain how we have thus unexpectedly met." So saying, she...
