"What is history?" It has always been a classic. Since the first edition, after all, more than 250 thousand copies have been sold, which has its own reasons. This book, like many books, is an urgent chapter, which stems from a series of speeches. The style of writing is smooth and spicy, but measured by more thoughtful works, it is not good. Different from many other works of historical theory and practice, this book contains a lot of examples about real historians and real historical works, which vividly illustrates more abstract arguments. In sharp contrast to most types of historical introduction and introduction, this book does not communicate with readers in a superior tone, but communicates with them in an equal way. When dealing with the most profound theoretical problems, it is also witty, interesting and intriguing. Forty years later, it still has shocking power. It involves not only the basic problems of history, but also the basic problems of politics and ethics. When dealing with major issues, the technique is superb. This book is of reference value to historians, philosophers, writers and thinkers, and will bring them ideological surprises. Carl is knowledgeable and a smart man. What is history? The most attractive thing about this book is that it shows knowledge and wisdom easily.
