Moments of life
by Arlette Farge
Description
In this book, Arlette Farge recounts the chances and encounters that have marked her career as a historian: her struggles to make a history that takes into account the relations between men and women, her taste for archives since her discovery of the 18th century judicial collections, her commitment to making a history of those who have been forgotten, whom we have neither heard nor wanted to see, and finally the attention she pays to writing, language and the different possibilities of telling history.
