History Advocacy or Historiography Profession

The Defense of History or The Profession of History, published by Lucien Febvre for the first time after the death of Marc Bloch, is a masterpiece that should be read in terms of history education, "historian profession" or just to satisfy historical curiosity. This work, written by Marc Bloch, one of the founders of the Annales school, about the nature of "historicism", deserves to be one of the few important titles written in the 20th century on the "what" of history. This book, annotated using the manuscript and prepared for publication faithfully to the original, constitutes a unique resource for anyone whose paths intersect with history, guided by Jacques Le Goff's foreword.
"This unfinished book is a complete act of history."
Jacques Le Goff

"'Father, what is the use of history? Explain to me.' A young man who is very interested in me was asking this to his historian father a few years ago. I would like to be able to say that this is my answer to this question about the book you are about to read, because I cannot think of a greater compliment than being told that he knows how to address both academics and primary school students in the same style. A high level of simplicity is the privilege of only a select few.”
Marc Bloch
