About the book
A fundamental historiographical work that questions the traditional narrative about the end of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Henri Pirenne argues that the true civilizational rupture was not the fall of Rome, but rather the Islamic expansion that transformed the Mediterranean and reconfigured medieval Europe, offering an innovative perspective on historical transitions.
