A fundamental part of English heritage, the Domesday Book is unique in medieval history, recording an entire country and its inhabitants town by town, with over 12,500 entries. In this lavishly illustrated book, Elizabeth Hallam and Thomas Hinde examine the background to the nine-hundred-year-old document, setting the events of 1086 into the context of the medieval world. It is a remarkable tribute to English continuity that almost all of the Domesday settlements still exist in some form or another.
Thomas Hinde Knihy
Thomas Hinde bol britský prozaik, známy svojím prenikavým pohľadom na britskú spoločnosť a jej sociálnu dynamiku. Jeho diela často skúmajú témy odcizenia, neúspechu a hľadania identity v povojnovej Británii. Hindeho štýl sa vyznačoval bystrým pozorovaním a suchým humorom, ktorým zachytával zložitosť ľudských vzťahov a spoločenských očakávaní. Po svojom pôsobení v beletrii sa venoval aj literatúre faktu, kde sa zameriaval na históriu anglických sídel, záhrad a života pri dvore.
