What to expect

The 17th century was a time of great contrasts. While powerful rulers expanded their empires and established magnificent courts, scientists, philosophers, and explorers revolutionized our understanding of the world. Art and culture flourished impressively during the Baroque era. This audiobook tells the fascinating life stories of 15 extraordinary figures—from Louis XIV, the Sun King, to Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, to Rembrandt, Rubens, and William Shakespeare. Their ideas, discoveries, and works shaped Europe and laid the foundation for the modern world. An exciting journey through the century of kings, scholars, artists, and explorers—and to the people who made history.
