Loved the book

Millennium - Tom Holland

Millennium
von Tom Holland

Bewertet mit 4.5 Sternen

With Tom Holland, history is never boring.

I already read his "Rubicon" some years ago and finally understood what my Latin teacher was talking about some years ago. In "Millennium", he writes about European history around the year AD 1000, an age where many were afraid the end of the world was near and the Antichrist would appear. Holland brings all the different influential parties of the time to life and even describes the history of the church and its power struggles with emperor in a suspense-packed way. The author does not only give the historical facts, but, as usual, builds a good narrative.
