Imagine that you were born in 1480. What would you have witnessed if you were to live for 80 years travelling the whole world? This is the first of our series of historical novels of very fine quality - two novels in every book - about the time between 1480 and 1560 in different parts of the world, giving a panoramic view of society and human life. You read the novels (by different authors) and travel the world in history. You can compare social life, historical facts, citizen and royal life of the countries in question. With every novel, you know more about history, because the authors have accomplished well-founded historical research. The novels in the series are not new, but almost every one of them has won high praises in the publishing world at the time. All novels in the series are newly-revised and abridged with the intention to update them to the rhythm of life of today and to make them more readable and enjoyable for the modern reader.
