The Awakening Of Europe - THe Pelican History Of European Thought 1

The Awakening of Europe – The Pelican History of European Thought 1 (1968) by Philippe Wolff (Pelican Original)
As sold by Crappy Old Books

A proper slice of 1960s paperback scholarship, this is Pelican’s first volume in its ambitious “History of European Thought” series. Philippe Wolff charts Europe’s uneasy shuffle out of the so-called Dark Ages into the glittering medieval world of monasteries, merchants, and mind-bending scholasticism. Expect plenty of monks, manuscripts, and medieval mindsets—all explained in that brisk, slightly dry but deeply earnest Pelican way.

This edition: 1968 Pelican Original, pocket-sized, with that familiar blue spine and more than a whiff of dust and history about it. Pages may be yellowed, corners may be dog-eared, and there’s a strong chance it smells like the inside of a church pew, but the text is all there, waiting for another reader to give it a go.

Perfect if you’re into medieval Europe, intellectual history, or just enjoy the stubborn charm of old Pelicans that refuse to die. Not pristine, not rare—just a classic piece of Crappy Old Books stock: scruffy but entirely readable.
