Memory and the Mediterranean

Fernand Braudel, a well-known historian in our country, is one of the leading names of the Annales school, which has an interfield and comparative approach to history.

In this work, which could not be published while he was alive, but was available to the reader thirteen years after his death, the narrative starts from prehistory, even from the formation of the Mediterranean floor and the surrounding mountains. In the work, which continues with the story of humans becoming human by separating from other species, the great forces that led to the birth of agriculture, writing, sea travel, trade and empires are explained in a brilliant style, and the effects of the region's geography and climate over millennia are revealed in detail. The author, who passionately describes the foundations of the Phoenicians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, Mesopotamia and Egypt, their relations with each other and their extinction and disappearance, reaches the beginning of human history in the Mediterranean with this extremely lively and comprehensive work, in which he also includes the latest archaeological findings of the period he was working on. It brings life back to life.
