A Distant Mirror by Barbara W. Tuchman 1978 First Edition Hardcover Bubonic Plag

Description: A marvelous history of medieval Europe, from the bubonic plague and the Papal Schism to the Hundred Years’ War, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Guns of August. 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; and how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serfs, nobles, and clergy alike.
