The Long March

Civilization and Capitalism, 15th–18th Century. Volume 3: The Perspective of the World
by Fernand Braudel, translated by Siân Reynolds
Harper and Row, 699 pp., $35.00
The Perspective of the World is the concluding volume of Fernand Braudel's huge essay on the economic and social history of the world between the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution. Completed five years ago, it has now been faultlessly translated by Siân Reynolds, whose English rendering of Braudel's often idiosyncratic prose is a wonderful achievement.
