The Structures of Everyday Life
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: As New. The Structures of Everyday Life (1985) by Fernand Braudel ? Condition: As New (Crappy Old Books) Forget kings and battles for a moment?Fernand Braudel wanted to know how history really happened. In The Structures of Everyday Life (Fontana Press, 1985, ISBN: 9780006860778), the first volume of his mighty Civilization and Capitalism trilogy, Braudel zooms in not on emperors or treaties but on the humble, the ordinary, the overlooked: what people ate, how they dressed, how they traveled, what they dreamed about when they weren?t ploughing, praying, or bargaining over fish. This is history at its most human, its most tactile. Braudel writes about bread, salt, spices, fabrics, huts, roads, animals, and markets with the same intensity others reserve for Napoleon. His genius is showing how these tiny details form the bedrock of great shifts: capitalism didn?t emerge from nowhere, it grew out of centuries of grain prices, shipping routes, and the stubborn rhythms of daily life. Reading him is like watching the planet itself breathe. And now, the miracle: this copy comes from Crappy Old Books , and yet it?s rated As New . That means the cover is spotless, the spine uncreased, the pages crisp and unread?as if no hand has yet dared to dive into its 600 pages of scholarly splendour. No margin notes in hurried student script, no tea rings from all-night reading sessions, no crumbs of bread tucked in by readers practicing immersive history. It?s pristine, improbably so, like finding a medieval cottage untouched by time. In short: The Structures of Everyday Life is a masterpiece of ?total history,? a sweeping and yet intimate view of the world that made our world possible. This copy is As New?an everyday miracle from Crappy Old Books, where even the daily grind of history arrives without a single scuff. Seller Inventory # 4474
