Decline of the Middle Ages
About This Novel
This book is an imported public edition book. The author Huizinga (1872-1945) was a famous Dutch linguist and historian. "The Waning of the Middle Ages" (originally published by China Art Publishing House and translated as "The Waning of the Middle Ages") is Huizinga's representative work. Its influence is long-lasting and it is a classic work in the study of Western cultural history. This book studies the history of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and the closing stage of medieval civilization. It is based on the above point of view that the author tries to truly understand the Van Eyck brothers and the era in which they lived, that is, he tries to understand it from its connection with the life of the time. And reality has proven that one thing that all forms of civilization of that era have in common is that they are all inextricably linked to the past. This connection goes even further than to the future they are gestating. Therefore, the brilliant achievements of that era should be regarded not only by artists, but also by theologians, poets, historians, kings and politicians, as the completion and end of the past, rather than as the prelude to a new culture.
