普利策奖获得者《八月之枪》的作者劳伦斯·赖特在《华尔街日报》上写道，中世纪欧洲从黑死病、教宗分裂到百年战争，《了不起的历史》*反映了两幅相互矛盾的图景：一方面，是一个十字军东征、教堂和骑士精神闪闪发光的时代；另一方面，世界陷入了混乱和精神痛苦。在这部富有启发性的作品中，芭芭拉·W·塔奇曼不仅考察了历史的伟大节奏，还审视了家庭生活的纹理和质地：童年是什么样子；婚姻意味着什么；金钱、税收和战争如何主宰农奴、贵族和神职人员的生活。给予她的臣民忠诚、背叛和内疚的激情，塔奇曼重塑了骄傲的红衣主教、大学学者、杂货商和店员、圣徒和神秘主义者、律师和雇佣兵的生活，而统治一切的是骑士--在他所有的英勇和“疯狂的愚蠢”中，他是一只“铁茧里的可怕蠕虫”。《远镜颂》文笔精美，学术细致透彻。。。塔奇曼女士做得非常出色的是讲述了它是如何进行的。。。。没有人做得比这更好了。“--《纽约书评》：一本美丽而非凡的书。。。塔赫曼在她的力量之巅。。。她做得再好不过了。“--《华尔街日报》：睿智、机智、精彩。。。一本伟大的书，在伟大的历史传统中。“-解说：这个版本不包括彩色图像。
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 *Lawrence Wright, author of The End of October, in The Wall Street Journal 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. Granting her subjects their loyalties, treacheries, and guilty passions, Tuchman re-creates the lives of proud cardinals, university scholars, grocers and clerks, saints and mystics, lawyers and mercenaries, and, dominating all, the knight—in all his valor and “furious follies,” a “terrible worm in an iron cocoon.” Praise for A Distant Mirror “Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . What Ms. Tuchman does superbly is to tell how it was. . . . No one has ever done this better.”—The New York Review of Books “A beautiful, extraordinary book . . . Tuchman at the top of her powers . . . She has done nothing finer.”—The Wall Street Journal “Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition.”—Commentary NOTE: This edition does not include color images.
