The acclaimed best-selling author and popular historian explores
the history of Europe via its cathedrals. Beautifully illustrated
with color photographs throughout, this joyous exploration of the
history of Western civilization showcases the cathedral's central
role in the European imagination. A masterful writer, Jenkins tells
the stories behind these stone wonders: the architects that made
them possible, the triumphs of engineering, the artists who
enriched their decor, and the inevitable human follies of those who
were involved in their building, from the artisans and workers to
the wealthy donors and the faithful who worshipped beneath their
soaring spires and majestic domes. Simon Jenkins is the critically
acclaimed, award-winning author of best-selling works that make
history accessible. Blending insight and authority with personal
reflections and experiences, he deftly reveals the history, design,
and significance of each of these enduring monuments to the human
spirit from popular favorites like St. Paul's and the Duomo in
Florence to less well-known masterpieces well worth a trip.
Europe's cathedrals are treasure troves of art and repositories of
history that attract hundreds or thousands of visitors every year.
