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, "La, Mediterranee"--"On
History" sets forth 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 and climate, demographic trends, popular beliefs--all
of these phenomena are proper subjects of the historian's
investigations. It is only through study of the "longue duree,"
Braudel argues, that one can discern structure, the supports and
obstacles, the limits and his experience cannot escape.
"The great French historian Fernand Braudel has done what only
giants can: he has made Western man confront the problem of
time--individual time, historical time, relative time, "real" time.
. . . Braudel, more than any other historian, has wrestled with
man's conception of time "over time," . . What a magnificent fight
he has fought."--"Virginia Quarterly Review"
