The Life of Charlemagne
By Einhard
Charles I united most of Western Europe during the Middle Ages and laid the foundations for modern France and Germany. He was the first recognized Roman emperor in Western Europe since the collapse of the Western Roman Empire three centuries earlier and ruled absolutely over a vast domain for thirteen years.
Einhard’s biography of the Carolingian Empire’s founder is one of the most famous pieces of literature on the early Middle Ages. It is both an epic and personal account of the legendary warrior king who was known as the Father of Europe, providing a fascinating insight into his political success, battlefield strategy, foreign and domestic policies, friends, enemies, and personal habits. For scholars of military science, it is an essential bridge text linking the masterworks of ancient strategy like The Art of War and Commentarii de Bello Gallico.
Einhard was a Frankish scholar and he was a dedicated servant of Charlemagne.

"The life of King John Sobieski, John the Third of Poland; a Christian knight, the savior of Christendom"
By Count John Sobieski
Excerpt
The seventeenth century was one of the great centuries of the world along all lines of human activities. In art, in science and in religious thought there was more advancement than there had been for centuries before. The Reformation had obtained such dimensions that the Roman Catholic Hierarchy had become acutely aware that it must, henceforth, fight for its existence. The Thirty Years' War is a proof of this statement.
Gustavus Adolphus, the Snow King, of Sweden, had made the Catholic Powers tremble, but while the Catholic and Protestant chiefs were fighting terrific battles for supremacy, there suddenly appeared a mutual enemy which threatened to destroy Christendom itself, for it had been the dream of each successor of the great Mohammed that the Mohammedan religion should become the world's universal faith.

Documentary
"The story of St. Mary's Altar"
St. Mary's Altar, stolen by the German occupier during the Second World War and hidden in Nuremberg, returned to Cracow in 1946. Thanks to conservators and filmmakers, we can see the beauty and majesty of the story of the Virgin Mary.
The Altar of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1498), known as the Altar of St. Mary, is the work of Veit Stoss, a sculptor who came to Cracow from Nuremberg in the late Middle Ages. It took him 12 years to complete the altar, the way it looked exceeded the wildest expectations of the residents of the city. The woodcarving masterpiece of late Gothic was stolen by the German occupier during the Second World War and hidden in the basement of the Nuremberg Castle. In 1946, the Poles recovered damaged sculptures and polychromy, repaired them and restored the former glory to one of the greatest sculpture monuments in Poland. The filmmakers introduced the viewers to the altar and some fragments of the biblical story. They used close-ups in order to underline the mastery of Veit Stoss in animating matter. The series of close-ups, portraits and long shots forms a visual narration that tells the story of Mary from the Annunciation to the Assumption. A musical composition by Stefan Skrowaczewski, an outstanding composer and conductor, accompanies the film.
