Kenneth Clark's sweeping narrative looks at how Western Europe evolved in the wake of the collapse of the Roman Empire, to produce the ideas, books, buildings, works of art and great individuals that make up our civilisation. The author takes us from Iona in the ninth century to France in the twelfth, from Florence to Urbino, from Germany to Rome, England, Holland and America. Against these historical backgrounds he sketches an extraordinary cast of characters -- the men and women who gave new energy to civilisation and expanded our understanding of the world and of ourselves. He also highlights the works of genius they produced -- in architecture, sculpture and painting, in philosophy, poetry and music, and in science and engineering, from Raphael's School of Athens to the bridges of Brunel.

  1. UNIKT SKARPSYNTA IAKTTAGELSER
    Haho, 21 oktober 2015

    Kenneth Clark skrev TV-historia med BBC:s produktion Civilisation år 1969. Efterfrågan tvingade fram en bok. Den boken vill jag se som en milstolpe i vår civilisation därför att den på ett unikt sätt i sammanfattning och överblick beskriver människans goda skaparförmågor. Clark rör sig klarsynt och synnerligen kunnigt inom kultursfären med viktiga referenser till väsentliga politiska och ekonomiska skeenden. Ämnet är begränsat till Europa.

    Det som gör boken så angenämt läsvärd är att... Läs hela recensionen

Kenneth Clark has used his masterly knowledge and understanding of the arts of Western Civilisation to describe and appraise its creative achievements. * Times Literary Supplement * 'He convincingly makes the case for the development of European art and architecture since the end of the Roman Empire as the foundations on which modern Western society rests' * Lloyd's List * Combines great learning with a shrewd mind, a wonderful eye and an admirable generosity of taste ... again and again he compels us to look at some more or less familiar work of art and see it afresh. * Observer * He is without equal * The Listener * One of the too few living authors who tempt me to use superlatives, and also the best for making his profound feeling for the arts contagious. The book glows with excitement for us general readers. * Sunday Times * 'The most famous art historian of his generation' * The Herald magazine * 'Civilisation is an improving text, even after 35 years' * Paul Lay, BBC History *
