29 oct 1940 año - Fernand Braudel - total history

Descripción:

French historian and founder of the Annales School, Fernand Braudel, wrote a monumental study of the Mediterranean, envisioning the Christian and Islamic cultures bordering it as part of a single history, given their common geography and economic codependence. Followed up with a global history of commerce. His work presents a model of a global, ‘total history’ offering an alternative to national history.
