After the collapse of 2015 the human population dwindled. With decades of effort by small groups all over the world an organisation called The Collect has formed. Driven by a loose coalition of surviving communities, The Collect works to rebuild the world from the remnants of what survived the infection, and the collapse that followed. Guided by a goal of learning and understanding their history, this book is their first effort at printing various local histories that The Collect agents have gathered as they travel the world in search of those who would join them, or do them harm. Finally with the means to publish and distribute large scale written material reclaimed, they release Primarius One, a book that details their current knowledge of the now infamous Daily Party, as well as examples of those who lived and struggled during the outbreak and the years that followed. Now delivered to each branch of The Collect headquarters, this book has become required reading for the survivors as a means of instilling a sense of community and appreciation of history, which the leaders of The Collect believe to be important to those who remain. An epistolary novel, written from a historical-biographical viewpoint, this book is treated as an official release by a fictitious future world that has only just started to get back on its feet after decades of decline.

The masterpiece of Britain's leading Renaissance scholar. Winner of the Time-Life Silver Pen Award and The Royal Society of Literature Award. 'A superb evocation of the Europe of the ?long 16th-century?, wonderfully fresh and rich in its copious illustrative detail, full of innumerable delights. The book is the summation of John Hale's career as a historian, and as the crowning achievement of a master-designer whose richly fabricated works have given so much pleasure.' John Elliot, Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford. 'The Civilisation of Europe in the Renaissance' is the most ambitious achievement of Britain's leading Renaissance historian. John Hale has painted on a grand canvas an enthralling portrait of Europe and its civilisation at a moment when 'Europe' first became an entity in the minds of its inhabitants. John Hale's Renaissance has no compartments. With astonishing range and subtlety of learning, he paints a gigantic picture of the age, enlivened by a multiplicity of themes, people and ideas. It contains memorable descriptions of painting, sculpture, poetry, architecture and music, but Hale is not simply concerned with the arts. He examines the dramatic changes during the period in religion, politics, economics and global discoveries. And throughout his book approaches the art of war and the art created for princes from the point of view of their impact on the imaginations, sensibilities and lives of ordinary people.
