First Paperback Edition. Trade Paperback. New York: Ballantine Books, 1978. 678 pp. "A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century" is a masterpiece of popular historical narrative written by the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Barbara Tuchman and published in 1978. The Ballantine Books edition of the same year is the widely recognized first mass-market paperback printing. The book explores the chaotic and transformative 14th century in Europe, a period defined by the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, and the Great Schism of the Church. Barbara Tuchman is celebrated for her vivid prose and provocative thesis: that the catastrophes of the 1300s closely parallel the anxieties and "calamities" of the 20th century. A cornerstone of modern historical literature. Dimensions: 20 cm Pickup category timeslot {A}
