Beschreibung

A wide-ranging collection of essays on the subject of history from a legendary historian

The first English translation of Ecrits sur l'histoire--a collection of essays written over a twenty-year period following publication of Braudel's masterwork, The Mediterranean--On History sets forth Fernand Braudel's reflections on the intellectual framework of his historical studies. Braudel calls on the historian to penetrate beneath the surface of political events to uncover and measure the forces shaping collective existence. Cycles of production, wages and prices, grids of communication and trade, fluctuations of climate, demographic trends, popular beliefs--all of these phenomena are proper subjects, Braudel argues of the historian's investigations. It is only through study of the longue durée, Braudel argues, that one can discern structure, the supports and obstacles, the limits man and his experience cannot escape.
