Features: "New Horizons Collection" focuses on specific social classes or groups within particular social and historical contexts. Beyond grand historical narratives, it captures a subtle section of the social and historical structure through a slice-like scan, outlining the daily lives, production methods, behavioral norms, and "collective unconscious" mindset of these special social classes or groups, all while considering the backdrop of institutional culture. "New Horizons Collection" provides readers with a "time tunnel" to "travel through time and immerse themselves in history." No matter how hard historians have studied and researched, they find it difficult to change the general perception of the Middle Ages as the "Dark Ages." Yet, the romantic knights, with their swordsmanship and singing battles, are widely recognized as the most brilliant colors in this dark sky. The noble life of knights is something everyone aspires to, the elegance of knightly demeanor is envied by all, the romance of knightly love is what everyone dreams of, and the heroic careers of knights fulfilled the fantasy dreams of ordinary people for hundreds of years in the Middle Ages. This book explores the psychological journey of a knight's growth, the influence of Christianity on knightly culture, the essence of knightly love, the pastoral dreams and economic income of knights, and the fate of Don Quixote.
