A review by alexiasophii
Apologia da História ou O Ofício de Historiador by Marc Bloch

challenging informative slow-paced

4.0

 Mandatory reading for "The Limits of Historical Knowledge" class at my uni course. 

I enjoyed this book and I feel like it can provide me with a lot of knowledge and tools to help me on my path to becoming an Historian. Marc Bloch is an important figure in Historiography and a must for every Historian and student of History or Archeology.  It is a shame that the author was unable to bring this opus to its fruition and witness its publication. Nevertheless, it is a treasured work of historical wisdom, an obligatory cornerstone in the education of all those who seek to fathom the annals of the past.
