Basically, anything works, as far as I know, he touches upon the theme of the Dark Ages in almost all his books. You could choose The Witcher, for example; it's a good book, well-known, and there would be plenty to talk about with others.

I wasn't even thinking about the Middle Ages. In any case, not the European Middle Ages.

Menti, hold on, don't laugh and idealize. I don't remember this moment very well and I might be wrong, but I think that the radiation depends on the temperature of the black hole. What will be emitted if the temperature of the body is extremely low? And for a black hole, it is low; otherwise, it would quickly disappear. And if it were that simple, these objects would be easy to detect, but so far they are being searched for based on indirect signs.

Maybe I don't know. But that's not what I meant. Never mind, I didn't quite express myself correctly. If they do have thermal radiation, it should be even more likely to stay in place, because low frequencies have less energy => they are easier to attract with the large mass of a black hole.

For example, the idea of a knight as an ideal of honor emerged at the end of the era of chivalry, along with chivalric romances (here, Cervantes should be mentioned). Initially, "knight" was equivalent to "horseman," and later also "small landowner."

I'm actually reading it now; I didn't expect to find such harsh satire :) Everyone knows that knights didn't have any ideals; only people like Don Quixote could think that way. I already wrote that they went on raids, using the name of Christ as a cover.

Is there anything in Rasputin's biography that Boney M sings about?

Yes.

whether it's a knight, a samurai, or a gentleman

I have no idea about samurai, but the intelligentsia of the nineteenth century (especially the beginning) perfectly understood what honor was. This is evidenced by the rather casual attitude of writers of that time towards its manifestations, as something self-evident (as in Pushkin: Tatyana refuses Onegin without hesitation; it is written as if another answer is theoretically impossible). Since the intelligentsia at that time dictated fashion to all other segments of the population, they had to, willingly or unwillingly, conform to that level in some way. And now, fashion is dictated by the rest, let's say.
