Actually I find the Dorothy Dunnett "House of Niccolo" series works in an epic fashion for me. Historical fiction set in mid-fifteenth century early Renaissance - the education-civilizing/career path of a polymath. Good stuff and it covers a hell of a lot of ground.
Sort of the same thing I found in Mary Stewart's "Hollow Hills" books about the life of Merlin, or the Camulod series by Jack Whyte starting with "The SkyStone".
A single book? How about "Courtship Rite" by Donald Kingsbury. A great glorious feed of a read (if you like speculative fiction).
There's lots more, but I'll stop here.
