История Англии. Тюдоры: От Генриха VIII до Елизаветы I

A great work on the history of ENGLAND! New!

The history of England is a continuous movement and a series of constant changes. But the whole history of England, beginning with primitiveness, is permeated by continuity, so that the main thing in it is not change, but constancy. Until now, in England, one can feel an inextricable connection with the past, with traditions and customs. Until now, this country, which has always been a single entity, resists change in any aspect of life. Peter Ackroyd shows the origins of England's age-old immutability,
its conservatism and adherence to the past.
This book highlights the period of the Tudor dynasty in England. This is the story of Henry VIII's break with Rome and the King's relentless pursuit of an ideal wife and ideal heir. The story of how the brief reign of the teenage king Edward VI was followed by a violent revival of Catholicism, the tragic manifestations of which were the executions and massacres perpetrated by Mary I, nicknamed the Bloody Mary, as well as the grandiose reign of Elizabeth I, which eventually brought stability, albeit marked by civil strife, conspiracies against the queen and a large-scale Anglo-Spanish war. But above all, it is the story of the English Reformation - which was very different from the Reformation in Europe - and the rise of the Anglican Church, for at the beginning of the 16th century England was still largely a feudal country and often referred to Rome. At the end of the 16th century, it was already a country where fair governance was the responsibility of the state, not the church, and where people began to independently seek answers to the questions that occupied their minds, ceasing to rely on those who were at the head of the country ... The literary work of the brilliant British author, equipped with 43 color illustrations, will be of interest to a wide range of readers.
