La serie informalmente titulada "Historia Universal Asimov" reúne las obras dedicadas por el gran novelista y divulgador científico a la evolución política, cultural y material de la especie humana. "La Alta Edad Media" se ocupa del periodo de las "edades oscuras" que, iniciado con las invasiones germánicas que acabaron con el Imperio Romano de Occidente, continúa con las vicisitudes de estos pueblos para crear sus propias estructuras estatales y culmina con la figura de Carlomagno, para desembocar, finalmente, en una nueva etapa de la civilización a comienzos del segundo milenio.

Work Description
This is the sixth volume in Isaac Asimov's brilliant histories for young people. Having recreated in his widely praised earlier books the great civilizations of the Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome, he now moves to Northern Europe to discuss the Franks and the Goths, who came from the north to spell the end of Mediterranean domination.
As countless reviewers have pointed out, Dr. Asimov brings to the telling of history a variety of disciplines, clear sparkling prose, and an infectious enthusiasm that catches the reader up in his panorama of events. The Dark Ages is no exception.
Here we see the Germanic Tribes and Gothic Kingdoms, the coming of the darkness. We see the powerful role of Christianity in the unfolding of military events. We watch kings fall and empires crumble. We meet fascinating personalities — Alaric, Charlemagne and his Carolingian successors. And finally, we pass through the darkness to catch a glimmer of the light that promises to come.
The Dark Ages is a period of history not well known to many. Dr. Asimov has shown it to be an eminently interesting time, well worth exploring with a knowledgeable and witty guide.
