Podrobnosti produkta
- When Pope Urban II rose to his feet to address the multitudes gathered before him at the Council of Clermont in 1095, his appeal was simple: let Western Christendom march to the aid of their brethren in the East. Whether the Crusades are regarded as the most idealistic of Christian expeditions or the last of the barbarian invasions, they remain one of the most exciting adventure stories in history. Steven Runicman's History of the Crusades has been acclaimed as a fascinating account of the historic journey to save the Holy Land from the infidel. This abridgment makes accessible to broader readership one of the most compelling historical narratives.

Europe Editorial Review
**** Steven Runciman's *The First Crusade* stands out as a seminal work for those interested in the complexities of the Crusades, making it an excellent resource for both scholars and casual readers alike. The book delves into the origins of the Crusades, intertwining a rich narrative about Christian history with the nuanced and at times contentious relationships between Christians, Muslims, and Jews in the context of the Holy Land. Runciman's insightful exploration of these dynamics sheds light on long-standing interactions that continue to be relevant today. Reviewers praise Runciman's ability to convey the intricate human stories behind the Crusades—depicting the interactions among clergy, the competition between various lords, and the political machinations that were critical in unifying the forces of Rome and Constantinople. Readers commend his narrative style, noting that despite the depth and breadth of information, the writing remains accessible. However, some critiques arise regarding the abridged edition of this classic work. While many find value in Runciman’s thorough exploration, others express that the information can feel overwhelming, particularly for those not deeply familiar with the subject matter. Some reviewers mentioned a desire for more focus on the Consequences of the Crusades, particularly regarding the social and economic impacts following the first Crusade. Additionally, the lack of maps and illustrations was noted as a drawback, particularly given the complex geographic context of the events discussed. Most notably, while Runciman’s balanced approach has garnered appreciation, some feel that significant details—including the bibliographic and critical apparatus—are lacking in the abridged version, making it feel reduced. Still, it is recommended as a starting point for anyone seeking a thoughtful and well-crafted narrative on a pivotal moment in history. **
