Description

This book is a historical work by Fernand Braudel, titled "Les Structures du Quotidien" (The Structures of Everyday Life), prominently displayed on the cover. It is the first volume in the series "Civilisation matérielle, Économie et Capitalisme, XVe-XVIIIe siècle" (Material Civilization, Economy and Capitalism, 15th-18th Century), as indicated by the banner at the top. The edition shown is published by Armand Colin, a mention clearly legible at the bottom of the cover.

The visible front cover features an illustration of a pastoral scene, reminiscent of an old painting, with a farmer plowing the land with a horse, a shepherd and a flock of sheep in the background, and a vast rolling landscape. The dominant colors are green, brown, red, and natural shades, typical of historical iconography.

The title, author's name, and collection are printed in elegant, legible characters against a gradient red and green background. The cover has a matte appearance with a slight visible relief at the top, without an apparent dust jacket. No major defects are observable on the front cover, apart from very slight signs of wear on the upper edges, typical of an old or used book.

The top edge and visible corners appear to be in good overall condition, with no tears or significant creases. The format is classic for a work of this type, with a soft cover (not hardback), characteristic of Armand Colin university editions from past decades.

Condition

The book is used and sold as is. The front cover shows slight signs of wear consistent with an old book, with no apparent structural defects.

Did you know? Fernand Braudel (1902-1985) is one of the greatest French historians of the 20th century. His work "Civilisation matérielle, Économie et Capitalisme" profoundly influenced world historiography by introducing the concept of "longue durée" (long-term historical analysis) in the study of societies. Initially published between 1967 and 1979, this triptych is an essential reference for understanding the economic and social history of modern Europe.
