Content abstract: "Europe, why always grab the first place?" John, a famous Australian historian? Hearst's fascinating exploration in this book combs out the European civilization for us, so it can change all kinds of characteristics of the world.
Starting with the three elements of ancient Greek and Roman culture, Christian doctrine and Germanic warrior culture, the author describes how these three elements reinforce each other and oppose each other, and finally shape them into the core of European civilization. Then, for centuries, empires and polis were born, conquest and Crusades were inspired, and many people with distinctive personalities were created, such as benevolent emperors, aggressive popes, chivalrous knights, and even the first citizens in the world who enjoyed the fruits of prosperity and enlightenment. Philosophical thinking, the origin of democratic system, the transmission of political power, and even the origin of Latin used in medicine and biology, all these European factors have continuously shaped various characteristics of modern civilization, making Europe far ahead of the modern world.
This book describes an extraordinary civilization and its great influence and contribution to human society with clear, humorous and thought-provoking style and vivid illustrations.
