Why have societies all across the world feared witchcraft? This book delves deeply into its context, beliefs, and origins in Europe's history. The witch came to prominence - and often a painful death - in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. In this landmark book, Ronald Hutton traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early modern state.

Meticulously researched, dry but great.

Lost its way, or at least my attention in the last 3rd with a deep exploration of Elves and Faeries lost

The evolution of the Arab empire is one of the supreme narratives of ancient history, a story dazzlingly rich in drama, character, and achievement. In this exciting and sweeping history - the third in his trilogy of books on the ancient world - Tom Holland describes how the Arabs emerged to carve out a stupefyingly vast dominion in a matter of decades, overcoming seemingly insuperable odds to create an imperial civilization.

Engrossing narrative, well told with a disconnected ending
Revisado: 06-15-17
The first third of this narrative is exactly what you should expect from Tom Holland and the 'Fire' if the name is well explored, but the middle third veers curiously into Constantinople for a ponderous amount of time. The last third, while geography related to the first, seems to be of a whole other project. Virtually unrelated, it is a narrative worth reading, albeit a strange direction that really does not seem connected ti the rest. Still Tom Holland narrative style makes for an engaging read.
