Matthews, Sarah On History (0226071510)
A translation of Fernand Braudel's 'Ecrits sur l'histoire', published in 1969. The main themes of the work are: the importance of a 'rapprochement' between history and the social sciences; the inseparability of study of past and present; the dubious value of the narrative techniques; and the liberating effect of approaching the human past with eyes firmly fixed upon the 'longue duree'.
