- Description or summary of the audiobook: Bringing light to the shadows of history through a 'rich weave of citation and archival evidence' (Publishers Weekly), scholar A. Roger Ekirch illuminates the aspects of life most often overlooked by other historians-those that unfold at night. In this 'triumph of social history' (Mail on Sunday), Ekirch's 'enthralling anthropology' (Harper's) exposes the nightlife that spawned a distinct culture and a refuge from daily life. Fear of crime, of fire, and of the supernatural; the importance of moonlight; the increased incidence of sickness and death at night; evening gatherings to spin wool and stories; masqued balls; inns, taverns, and brothels; the strategies of thieves, assassins, and conspirators; the protective uses of incantations, meditations, and prayers; the nature of our predecessors' sleep and dreams-Ekirch reveals all these and more in his 'monumental study' (The Nation) of sociocultural history, 'maintaining throughout an infectious sense of wonder' (Booklist).
