Sin and Entertainment in Medieval Bulgaria
Грях и забавление в средновековна България
Category: Medieval Bulgaria
Language: Bulgarian

   Despite the numerous studies on the Bulgarian Middle Ages, the modern reader knows very little about the daily life and leisure activities of people at that time. This book explores how the aristocracy and the working class spent their free time. The narrative analyzes the surviving data and, drawing on sources and archaeological discoveries, immerses us in the atmosphere of the period. Hunting, various types of games, and the role of literature are just some of the activities that take center stage, while others, such as alcohol consumption and physical intimacy, are examined through the lens of the Church’s influence.
