For those seeking a book on the Renaissance proper, look elsewhere, but do give this marvelous history your attention as well. There is much to recommend here (the confusion of the time period not withstanding.)First, this is truly a "world history" - not the typical Euro-centric history with the obligatory nod to civilizations in the Near East and Asia. While much attention is paid to the political goings on in Europe (about 45% of the book), attention and detail is also given to civilizations in Africa (5%), Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia (about 10%), India (10%), China and the Mongols (12%), the Near East and Byzantium (16%) and the Americas (2%). The narrative thread shows the growing interconnectedness between civilizations in terms of economics, culture, religion and politics.Second, the depth and detail Bauer provides in relating a world history is astonishing. Each chapter is between 6 - 8 pages, but they are packed with information about political interrelationships and the aims, goals and hopes of various groups and families from popes to emperors to pretenders to the throne. This makes for a relatively fast-paced read, but it also gives a solid overview of the forces at play.Finally, the writing is superb. Bauer's prose is fluid and geared to a general audience which makes the reading easy and entertaining. Her works cited is extensive and comprehensive with a super-abundance of really outstanding works for those interested in more detail on a given topic, time period or event.In spite of my prickliness regarding the title, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a well-written history with a genuinely global scope. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wow *by H***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020* Probably the best, most unbiased, least boring, narrative-style, chronological history series ever written. We have the ancient and Medieval volumes as well, and even my 13 yr old loves them. Some advanced vocabulary, but my 13-yr old son loves the books enough that he doesn’t mind looking up words as he goes (this is really something for a 13 yr old boy). They’re fun/rewarding words to look up. You can tell the author loves words, because she uses them in wonderful ways. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good But Short *by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013* The latest installment in Susan Wise Bauer's series on the History of the World is just as well researched and entertaining as the previous volumes. I could not help but notice, however, that it is much shorter. The cut off point (the fall few Constantinople) seemed odd too. Why not the end of the reconquista and the discovery of the new world? I was left with the impression that her editors are looking to cash in on the unusual popularity of her work. That said, this is a must read. More so if you have read her other books. Ms. Wise Bauer makes history come alive. She is thorough but never tedious. And she has an uncanny ability to weave together common threads in the human experience from the most ancient records through the present. ## Frequently Bought Together - The History of the Renaissance World: From the Rediscovery of Aristotle to the Conquest of Constantinople - The History of the Medieval World: From the Conversion of Constantine to the First Crusade - The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/228095-the-history-of-the-renaissance-world-from-the-rediscovery-aristotle](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/228095-the-history-of-the-renaissance-world-from-the-rediscovery-aristotle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
