Robert Davis

    Robert C. Davis se zaměřuje na životy obyčejných lidí a jejich hodnoty během italské renesance a předmoderního Středomoří. Jeho rozsáhlý výzkum pokrývá města jako Neapol, Řím, Palermo a Benátky a zabývá se tématy od řemeslníků po dobrodružné postavy, jako jsou korzáři. Davisův styl spočívá v oživování minulosti prostřednictvím detailních studií každodenního života. Jeho práce čtenářům přibližuje dynamickou a mnohostrannou historii Středomoří.
