Are you afraid of some thick European history?
From Greece and Rome, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, religious disputes to the glorious revolution, and even the origin of European languages ... Professor Hearst's Wonderful Shi Chao in Europe is full of fun and lets you know:
Why does Europe always take the first place?
European civilization combines three incredible elements:
1. Ancient Greek and Roman culture
2. Christianity (a strange branch of Judaism)
3. The Germanic barbarian warrior culture that invaded the Roman Empire.
For centuries, this unstable combination has produced many figures with distinctive personalities ── devout knights, aggressive popes, the ancestor of Christianity, Socrates, the Athenian philosopher, Newton who discovered gravity, Columbus who discovered the New World and Napoleon who led the French Revolution. These figures provided sufficient impetus for modern European history, built an industrialized urban society and became the first human being in the world to enjoy prosperity.
If we go to the source of philosophy, art, mathematics, literature, medicine and political thought, all this knowledge will bring us back to Europe.
When it comes to mathematics, what we do in school is geometry, which is regarded as a mathematical topic, but in Greece, geometry is a way to guide human beings to understand the nature of the universe.
Speaking of medicine, every student who enters medical school must declare that he will abide by the Hippocratic oath, which is named after Hippocrates, an Athenian citizen born in the 5th century BC.
When it comes to law, the principles of fairness and justice are set for all kinds of artificial transactions. The source is the Justinian Code compiled by Justinian the Great of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 6th century BC.
In terms of art, Michelangelo's "The Portrait of David in the Renaissance" is a model that fully shows the perfect nude proportions and lines of human beings.
The first wave of stable economic development in the world took place in Europe, followed by the industrial revolution. Other modern symbols, such as representative government and the concept of human rights, also originated in Europe. "Europe, why can you grab the first place? A fascinating exploration by John Hearst, Australia's most famous historian, has sorted out the characteristics of Europe that changed the whole world civilization.
This book is divided into eight chapters. The first two chapters outline the complete history of Europe. In the next six chapters, each chapter has a specific theme, including the form of government, language, people's lives and so on. And describe different themes into a complete and wonderful story. In a clear, humorous and thought-provoking style, this book tells a story, doesn't it?
