His global panorama is a triumph of the historian's craft. In elegant and lucid prose, he examines, across the entire world, the Janus face of the era: both distant past and yet also origin of our contemporary condition.\"\u003cb\u003e--Jonathan Sperber, author of \u003ci\u003eKarl Marx: A Nineteenth-Century Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The comparison with Braudel's magnum opus is not misplaced.
