The Light Ages | Seb Falk

Far from the dark span of nothingness, toil and disease that is often the picture painted of this period between the fall of the Roman Empire and The Rennaissance - The Middle Ages were a time of wonder and discovery.

The Light Ages by author Seb Falk (winner of many 2020 'book of the year' titles), puts us in the shoes of a 14th Century monk named John of Westwyk. Framing the period within the life story of Westwyk, an inventor, astrologer, scientist and crusader, enables us to view the time through a new lens - one that illuminates the Middle Ages as a time of intellectual sophistication, magnificent achievements and of new ideas; an approach that challenges many preconceived notions.

The Light Ages conjures up a vivid picture of the medieval world as we have never seen it before.
