À propos de cet audio

 Imagine you could travel back to the 14th century. What would you see? What would you smell? More to the point, where are you going to stay? And what are you going to eat?

Ian Mortimer shows us that the past is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived. He sets out to explain what life was like in the most immediate way, through taking you to the Middle Ages.

The result is the most astonishing social history book you are ever likely to read: evolutionary in its concept, informative and entertaining in its detail, and startling for its portrayal of humanity in an age of violence, exuberance and fear.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Medieval England is a time and place that captures the western imagination. Here is an enlightening and evocative account of the details of daily life. A quality listen.

Highly engaging

Superb narration from J. Keeble as always.
Aft having read both trad history books on medieval England and historical fiction set in the period, eg: Bernard Cornwel, The time traveller’s Guide gave me a unique and pleasantly surprising point of engagement half way btwn the two.

With ease didst i survive thanks to thy most excellent guide!

As suggested by the title, I was hoping for a more high-concept ‘how to survive in medieval England’ - I.e. how a modern day person might be able to integrate, survive and even thrive in another age. Even the description of the book, and the intro, suggested this.
Instead, it seems more like a regular history book - albeit a solid, rounded and well written one. The only real difference it’s written in present rather than past tense.
This distinction of ‘living’ vs ‘dead’ history is mentioned several times throughout the book, as if the aim is to be taken seriously by historians. While this is a noble effort, I think I might have preferred the more speculative version.

Very engaging, but more like a history book than expected

A well written piece of history that is more than words. The author has reached thru time and brought live. I enjoyed this book.

Life goes on . A story is not a history but a linking on minds.
