Histoire De France New

Used - good condition. Some damage on the cover. However, the inside of the book is fine. 'oui, l'Histoire est une force, comme il existe des forces economiques ou des croyances religieuses : elle exerce une action sur la societe. Mais de quelle Histoire s'agit-il ? Celle, heroique, des Bourgeois de Calais, tragique de la Saint-Barthelemy ou de la Commune de Paris, glorieuse ou honteuse pour tel episode passe, mais qui recouvre combien de mythes, de quarelles, de silences et de mensonges ... Or, il est une histoire, plus anonyme. Celle des habitants de ce pays, si semblables et si differents de leurs voisins, au travail comme a table, et si portes a la guerre civile ... Comment expliquer ces traits, ces differences? Marc Ferro confronts ici l'analyse de la societe aux evenements de cette histoire : n'est-ce pas realiser le vieux reve de Ferdinand Braudel?' 'yes, History is a force, as there are economic forces or religious beliefs: it exerts an action on society. But what History is this? That, heroic, of the Bourgeois of Calais, tragic of Saint-Barthelemy or of the Paris Commune, glorious or shameful for a given episode, but which covers how many myths, quarrels, silences and lies... However, it is a story, more anonymous. That of the inhabitants of this country, so similar and so different from their neighbors, at work as at table, and so inclined to civil war... How can we explain these traits, these differences? Marc Ferro here confronts the analysis of society with the events of this story: is this not realizing the old dream of Ferdinand Braudel?'
