El Renacimiento: Una Guía Fascinante de un Período Notable en la Historia Europea, que Incluye Historias de Personas como Galileo Galilei, Miguel Ángel, ... y Leonardo da Vinci
Si quiere descubrir la cautivadora historia del Renacimiento, siga leyendo...
"Renaissance" en francés significa "renacimiento", y es el nombre que se le da en Europa al período comprendido entre los siglos XIV y XVII, cuando hubo un marcado resurgimiento en el arte clásico, la educación, la filosofía, la arquitectura y las ciencias naturales. Una vez más, los antiguos territorios romanos adoptaron los escritos de los antiguos griegos y romanos, y la idea del humanismo. El renacimiento marca el final de la Edad Media y el comienzo de la larga marcha hacia la modernidad.
En esos preciosísimos siglos, los astrónomos redefinieron la forma en que vemos nuestra ubicación en el sistema solar y en el universo. Escritores y académicos nos dieron nuevas formas de pensar acerca de la condición humana, el yo y la comunidad. Los artistas encontraron nuevos métodos de expresión, y los arquitectos usaron piezas clásicas en sus iglesias, palacios y edificios públicos contemporáneos. La ciencia dio un salto hacia adelante, una vez más capaz de igualar el nivel de los intelectuales árabes y musulmanes en términos de matemática y filosofías experimentales.
En el fondo, el Renacimiento marcó una estabilidad generalizada que Europa no había conocido durante siglos, junto con un deseo inevitable de la gente de todas partes de aprender y expresarse. La educación y la estabilidad económica transformaron a Europa en un faro de enorme cultura que finalmente condujo a la Ilustración y la Edad Moderna tal como la conocemos.

An odd little history book that often reads like a sub-section of a high school world history text. Sometime the author hops around in time up to 400 years in one page. I noted four or five errors (like referring to Portugal developing a path to the Indian Ocean as discovering a path to the Pacific Ocean). Covers developments in painting and architecture as if they have equal import to science, religion, and philosophy. Quotes passages from writers that don’t seem to illustrate much nor describe why they really were important. For example, Montaigne invented the introspective essay form of writing, covered personal ethics in a time of religious strife, and was widely read for centuries after but the description of him and the quote in this book didn’t seem to convey why he was important. The book documents a good sample of the sins of the Catholic church over this period. The book is a very brief covering of the Renaissance, with some odd selections of figures to cover (why would Nostradamus merit coverage in such a short book?) and somewhat peculiar organization of topics and flow of ideas. I still enjoyed reading it, mainly because I find the history of civilization spanning the European Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution history interesting.

Wasn’t impressed. Basically a Cliff notes of the Renaissance.

Muchas informaciones de caracter general que nos ayudan a comprender ese epoca tan importante no solo para Europa, sino para todo el mundo conocido. Le entrego tres estrellas por una razón:
Cristobal Colón no dejó a 39 colonos en Haíti Moderno. De hecho no existe Haíti moderno ( existe Haíti) que es la parte oeste de la ISLA HISPANIOLA. Colón dejó 39 colonos en la parte este de la isla que se llama SANTO DOMINGO ( Hoy República Dominicana). En cuanto a historia y geografía debemos ser bien cautos y precisos al compartir informaciones tan delicadas.
No creo que esto fue un erro inconsciente, sino más bien uno bien direccionado y mal intencinado. De hecho, le iba a dar tres estrellas, pero este error no me lo permite ( una estrella como mucho).

Reader,
There is no author, no index, no bibliography, and woefully short "references" list that should have been read by the author(s) themselves before writing any of these essays. And that's exactly what these are: essays, and poorly done at that. At times they contradict themselves. Dates and facts are afterthoughts, when included at all. There is a troubling fixation on Catherine d' Medici and Elizabeth I, almost to the exclusion of other personas. There is an undertone of Anglophilia, despite England being negligibly important and at the neglect of other, objectively more important countries and influences.
If you are looking for an introduction to European Renaissance, look to King's Women of the Renaissance, Brown and McBrides's Women of the Renaissance.

I dipped into this book when I first bought it and then, immediately left it alone for over two years, which says a lot by itself.
Insofar as the Rennaissance is mentioned it isn't a bad book, although I thought it might delve more into "why" there was a Renaissance and what it was a Renaissance from. But there is, after all, a lot of ground to cover in an amorphous process that spanned some three-hundred years across a continent.
There are a couple of minor errors, Shalespear being a "screenwriter" and not a playwright for example.
Overall a fair primer to whet your appetite to actually learn more about the topic.

An interesting overview of this fantastic period. Inevitably the coverage is unequal but I learned quite a few things. In particular the fact that the Renaissance did not dawn everywhere in Europe at the same time was an appreciation i had not had before. I felt a certain anti-catholic church bias. Bias or simply a politically incorrect but historically accurate rendering?

RENAISSANCE
Tis is a very short history of the Renaissance as it took place in Europe with the beginning in Italy. It is a very good review of its march from the 14th century across countries with the important people described as well as the events. It shows the religious attempts to shut down scientific knowledge and the persecution many.

Enjoyable read!
This account of the European Renaissance is authoritative and is both a thoroughly enjoyable read and a good starting point for those wishing to delve deeper into any specific aspect of that period of our history.

A good and decent introduction
It is a good and decent introduction to the European Renaissance, as an African myself, it is inspiring to see the path Europe had to take to be where it is at, and how it was detailed in so few pages

Somewhere between poor and terrible. Dry, uninspiring text read by what sounds like a robot. Most disappointingly, I didn't take much away leave a sense of why he is considered such a giant of science. Will be avoiding any more from this series.

Didn't think it was quite as good as some others I read, but it is going to help with a project I have right now. It would be a good starting place, as long as that starting place is not the ending place.

Surprisingly comprehensive for so few pages.

It was very interesting reading; I’m not very familiar with history and it could be a high school book for some; but for people who doesn’t know any about is a great start, introduce you on the subject and at least on me open a huge door to do research and find out more and deepest Information. I love this book because as I said open to me very interesting doors and help me a lot to understand and look with another eyes my visit to Florence as an example. I fully recommend it if you are a beginner on this area and want a nice introduction to the Renaissance timings.
