Originally a series of conferences about Charlemagne, this biography keeps the freshness of a spoken text. Though it doesn't go into the subject too deeply, it gives a very suitable presentation of Charlemagne's times. It's a fun, light read for the history fans, and a good introduction to the Carolingian Empire for the newcomers.
