The Structures of Everyday Life

More about the book

This volume, in the author's words, is a sort of weighing up of the world, an evaluation of what was possible in the pre- industrial world of which the most important is the condition imposed by material life. On neither side of the Atlantic does there live a man or woman with so much knowledge of the past as Braudel, or with a greater sense of its aptness to the intellectual occasion at hand
