註釋The Wrong View of History is a provocative analysis of life, predominately in The Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. It dissects different aspects of daily life, from childhood, education, sex, shame, warfare, torture, cuisine to other, more philosophical views on time, space and ever-present societal changes. It shows the reader, how wrong it is, to judge these past societies through the prism of our understanding, through the values imposed on us by our morals and standards of todays conduct. A libertine openness in sexual practices may belong on some sleazy porn site today, but was the way of life, during the times of Marquis de Sade. This book is full of such examples from all facets of life. All the while, the author is keeping a light, humorous style, making it an easy and enjoyable read.
