The classic international bestseller - a marvellously exciting and
stimulating look at the emergence and development of Western
civilisation Kenneth Clark's sweeping narrative looks at how
Western Europe evolved in the wake of the collapse of the Roman
Empire, to produce the ideas, books, buildings, works of art and
great individuals that make up our civilisation. The author takes
us from Iona in the ninth century to France in the twelfth, from
Florence to Urbino, from Germany to Rome, England, Holland and
America. Against these historical backgrounds he sketches an
extraordinary cast of characters - the men and women who gave new
energy to civilisation and expanded our understanding of the world
and of ourselves. He also highlights the works of genius they
produced - in architecture, sculpture and painting, in philosophy,
poetry and music, and in science and engineering, from Raphael's
School of Athens to the bridges of Brunel.
