Riassunto:

To study history is to learn about oneself. And to fail to grasp the importance of the past—to remain ignorant of the deeds and writings of previous generations—is to bind oneself by the passions and prejudices of the age into which one is born.

In this brief but indispensable guide, the eminent historian John Lukacs shows you what the study of history entails, how it has been approached over the centuries, and why you should study history.

Informazioni sull'autore: John Lukacs is the acclaimed author of more than thirty works of history, including Five Days in London, May 1940, The Duel, The End of the Twentieth Century and the End of the Modern Age, Churchill: Visionary, Statesman, Historian, A Thread of Years, Historical Consciousness, and The Future of History. He has been called "America's greatest living historian" by Chronicles and "one of the more incisive historians of the twentieth century" by the Washington Times.
