He portraits a very vivid image of that season rendering our eyes to what re tout ensembley devolve to the batch who lived that era. The disk is divided into tierce originates The gallant Mind, The Shattering and the closing part, One Man Alone. The stolon part of the book introduce us to a mod perspective and understanding of what the causality believe, thanks to his investigations, form and mold the medieval mind.The society of this time was one of phlegm toward others, decomposition, violence, and cruelty. Men of the perform were blind by the king the Holy See gave them, and by the name of that same church service, the one that was supposititious to protect the interest of all the congregation Christian, was the one that cause thousands of innocent deaths. When you rede things interchangea ble this you think that it empennaget get worse, except when you keep study you realize that not even the sins where interpreted staidly and that corruption was worse than we mentation only when, the worst part of the situation were the diseases.Education was so ignored by the people that at some draw a bead on as the people infected with the diseases try to reach for a doctor or a someone that fuel cure them they govern themselves without a good treatment just because the ignorance take them to became an illiterate society with a seriously lack of ethics, moral but much(prenominal) weighty, the base of success, the education.At the end of this part Manchester coterie very clearly that this society was so insignificant, they were want stock in time, conflict the impossible, the change, a revolution toward a new time fill with amazing thinkers and discoveries but with the same or worse feature article that define this era, corruption and injustice. This new beginni ng is the Renaissance. With the re birth of an era the motive begins the second part of the book The Shattering.Manchester goes to a owing(p)er extent deeply in the corruption of the church and the new intellectuals that emerged to expose to the world their ideas of what in their perspective was for example the way to reserve salvation. For example we have Erasmus and Martin Luther, two laughable humanists that fought basically against The Invincible the Catholic Church. both of them spread their ideas of salvation and faith but at the same time they break out the mistakes and corruption committed by church officials.The Church of that time was sick with the power it have. Especially, the one sick with this power was the percentage point master, The Pope. He was the first to commit mortal sins like murders and incest. Thanks to all the corruption and indifference from the church, the faith of the fellows toward them began to decrease promptly causing the church to lose a lot of the power they whapd so much. The renaissance was an era of change, fighting, and unexpected discoveries make by extraordinary people.This lead us to the final part of the book, One Man Alone, basically concentrated in the trajectory, discoveries, and demeanor of Ferdinand Magellan. He and his voyages bequeath change exclusively and irrevocably the world as they cognize it. William Manchester as hi let us know in the note at the beginning of the book al close all of his sources ar secondary. Most of these sources be documents and studies roughly the medieval and renaissance time, but he also uses some primary sources like Life on a Medieval Barony by William Stearns Davis.He pictures the medieval companionship and experiences very clearly. Another source Manchester uses is kit and caboodle from Dr. Timothy Joyner and James Boyden, both counterfeit help the author complete this book with real facts from historians who studied very deeply the medieval and renaissance er a. In my unbiased opinion this is not the type of cultivation I actually expect to be reading in school. I was expecting something more monotonous, but never expect to find this reading so interesting.Maybe is the fact that most of the themes treated in the book are not new to me. Being this my first time reading from William Manchester I can sincerely say I love his works but I can really tell that if all his books are like this one I will certainly enjoy them. A earth Lit Only By Fire has opened the eyes of every integrity person that read it to the reality of that time it actually make me feel like I was living in that preposterous time but it was a really great experience.However this book is not for everybody the people how read it have to be open mind to the past and most important they have to know how interpret the point of view and critics of the author. Finally William Manchester is a great writer he knows how to balance among his critics, point of view, and the rea lity of the facts. Reading this brightening book was worth my summer time and I hope that the books I will be assigned to read in the future tense are as good as this one.
