  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 .
