Tuchman, Barbara Wertheim, (1912- 1989)

A distant mirror : The calamitous 14th century / Barbara Wertheim Tuchman - 667 páginas : ilustraciones en blanco y negro ; 21 cm

The fourteenth century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering age of crusades, cathedrals, and chivalry; on the other, a world plunged into chaos and spiritual agony. In this revelatory work, Barbara W. Tuchman examines not only the great rhythms of history but the grain and texture of domestic life: what childhood was like; what marriage meant; how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serf, noble, and clergy alike.
