書籍介紹

文藝復興只是一個不凡的藝術和建築的時期嗎? 本書檢視了文藝復興時期的主要發展，從它在意大利城市或者國家的開始到後來在法國、西班牙、英國和德國的文化、政治和科學成就。通過檢查原始資源和介紹讀者到新的研究和重要的辯論，這本易讀的書提供了一個令人興奮的文藝復興時代的介紹。在這裏，作者試圖回答兩個問題。首先，在14、15、16世紀逐漸改變歐洲的文藝復興運動的本質特徵是什麼?其次，這些文化、藝術和知識變革中有多少仍在影響現代社會?

Was the Renaissance just a period of extraordinary art and architecture? The Renaissance: All That Matters examines the major developments of the Renaissance era from its beginnings in Italian city/states to later cultural, political, and scientific achievements in France, Spain, England, and Germany. By examining original sources and introducing readers to new research and important debates, this accessible book provides an exciting introduction to the Renaissance age. This book attempts to answer two questions. Firstly, what are the essential features of the Renaissance movement that gradually transformed Europe in the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries? Secondly, how many of these cultural, artistic, and intellectual transformations continue to influence modern societies today?

文藝復興作為起源於14世紀意大利的古典希臘和羅馬文化的復興開始，逐漸傳播到整個歐洲，並繼續影響西方社會直到現在。本書介紹了文藝復興時期才華橫溢的作家和文化創新者，他們通過學術、藝術和科學活動改變了西方，包括弗朗西斯科·彼特拉克、列奧納多·達·芬奇、尼科羅·馬基雅維利、托馬斯·摩爾和伽利略·加利利。在整個文藝復興時期，有趣的遠見卓識復興了文學研究，改革了中世紀的大學，振興了藝術，促進了經濟，探索了新的地理世界，發明了機器和設備，如印刷機，望遠鏡，槍支和時鐘。

The Renaissance began as a renewal of classical Greek and Roman culture that originated in fourteenth-century Italy, gradually spread throughout Europe, and continues to influence Western societies up to the present. The Renaissance: All That Matters introduces the brilliant writers and cultural innovators of the Renaissance, who transformed the West through their scholarly, artistic, and scientific activities, including Francesco Petrarch, Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolo Machiavelli, Thomas More, and Galileo Galilee. Throughout the Renaissance, intriguing visionaries revived the study of literature, reformed medieval universities, invigorated the arts, enhanced the economy, explored new geographic worlds, and invented machines and devices such as the printing press, the telescope, firearms, and clocks.
