Penguin, (New York, 1995).. 600 pp, small 8vo (7 3/4" H), soft cover. Maps. "In this illuminating account, one of the century's greatest historians surveys 'the main contemporary civilizations'. Separate sections examine the Muslim world, Black Africa, the Far East, Western. Europe (from the fall of the Roman Empire to political union), 'the other Europe' to the East, the European civilizations of the New World, and 'the English-speaking universe'. Even an educational text, Braudel once suggested, can be 'a tale of. a d venture' - provided it is written with a 'simplicity that is clarity, the light of intelligence'. This clarity is present throughout 'A History of Civilizations'." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - mino. r e dg e wear, spine lightly concave. VG.
