Fernand Braudel (1902 August-19851kloc-0/) is a famous contemporary French historian, a representative of the second generation of yearbook school and an academician of the French Academy. His major works include the Mediterranean Sea and Mediterranean Region in Philip II's time, Material Civilization, Economy and Capitalism from 15 to 19 Century, Outline and Characteristics of French Civilization History, etc. Someone once said, "If the Nobel Prize for History is established, then the first winner must be Fernand Braudel." Although this remark is a joke, it also reflects Braudel's position and influence in the international history circle.

brief Introduction of the content

One of the most famous historians in the contemporary world, Bourgoides himself wrote a general history, which is also his last important work translated into Chinese. It was first published in 1962. The original intention was to provide a textbook written by a brand-new historical method (that is, the yearbook school method) for middle school students aged from 16 to 18 in France, but it was not a textbook in the general sense, but a classic academic work. The book is divided into three parts and twenty-five chapters. The first part, "The History of Fang Ming", focuses on theoretical issues related to civilization and culture. The second part "Civilization outside Europe" is divided into three small parts, which introduce the civilizations of "Islamic and Muslim world", "Africa" and "Far East" respectively. The third part "European Civilization" is also divided into three small parts; Europe, America and another Europe (narrate the history of Leo and Russia). On the basis of absorbing a large number of research results from various disciplines, it was compiled according to Brinell's own long-term, medium-term, short-term and overall historical view, "giving people a veritable world history". All parts of this book are independent, but they are organically related; Combining the past with the present, we not only look at the past, but also talk about the near future. Although each chapter is relatively simple, its connotation is richer, more profound and enlightening than many long masterpieces.

The Outline of Civilization is the last important work translated into Chinese by Braudel. First published in 1962, the original intention is to provide a textbook written by a brand-new historical method (i.e. the yearbook school method) for middle school students aged from 16 to 18 in France, but it is not a textbook in the general sense, but a classic academic work.

The book is divided into three parts and twenty-five chapters. The first part, "History of Civilization", mainly discusses theoretical issues related to civilization and culture. The second part "Civilization outside Europe" is divided into three small parts, which introduce the civilizations of "Islamic and Muslim world", "Africa" and "Far East" respectively. The third European Civilization is also divided into three small parts: Europe, America and another Europe (describing the history of Eastern Europe and Russia). On the basis of absorbing a large number of research results from various disciplines, it was compiled according to Brinell's own long-term, medium-term, short-term and overall historical view, "giving people a veritable world history". All parts of this book are independent, but they are organically related; Combining the past with the present, we not only look at the past, but also talk about the near future.
