The book by the famous historian Francis Vanes is dedicated to a turning point in European history — the unusually long and eventful 16th century. This is a crucial milestone, which absorbed features of both the fading Middle Ages with its witch hunts, the Reformation, brutal wars, and the New Age, an era of change and scientific discoveries. War follows war, rebellions break out in Europe, witches are burned at the stake. Ottoman troops invade Europe. Martin Luther writes the "95 Theses", for which he will be excommunicated. The borders of the Habsburg possessions run so far that they will later be called the empire "over which the sun never sets". The author unfolds a colorful canvas before the reader, on which there is a place for Emperor Charles V and William of Orange, great artists and the harsh Inquisition. In one fascinating book, Weins managed to capture the entire 16th century, which laid the foundations of modern society. Neither famous monarchs nor ordinary people escaped the historian's attention.
