The Civilisation of the Renaissance in Italy

Hallo, ik ben Finn, en ik help je dit boek te begrijpen.

Hier is het, uitgelegd alsof je 10 jaar bent:

Lang geleden was Italy verdeeld in veel kleine staten, en daar begon iets nieuws te gebeuren. Heersers vormden hun steden zoals kunstenaars een schilderij vormen. Mensen begonnen hun werk te signeren, hun eigen levensverhalen te schrijven, en bekend te willen zijn om wie ze waren. Burckhardt, een zorgvuldige historicus uit Switzerland, vertelt hoe kunst, leren, manieren, en zelfs feesten uit deze verandering groeiden. Veel van wat wij modern leven noemen, zegt hij, begint hier.
