A history essay in which Peter Brown shaped the concept of Late Antiquity. It looks at the cultural, religious and social changes between AD 200 and 700 without casting them as Rome's decline and fall, and shows how the period set the West and the Near East on different paths.

Who it's for
For history readers who want to understand the shift from the Roman world to the Middle Ages, in a short book. This edition is part of the Clásicos Radicales collection, which brings back essays that had long been out of print.
Why people still read it
The historian Judith Herrin has noted that Late Antiquity was barely a concept before this book, and The Spectator praised Brown's ability to enter the minds of the period's philosophers and church leaders.

Written with the help of AI from todostuslibros, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
