Critiques


(5 stars)

Impressive both in content and reading quality. The book reviews the XV century, the century where the great monarchies of Europe consolidate, and stops in the Eve of reformation, that discuss in two chapters (the first presents the Catholic, the second the Protestant position). Now, the century of Charles v and Ferdinand, and Luther begins.
