Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book is a translation of historian Carlo Ginzburg's latest collection |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of essays. Through the detective work of uncovering a wide variety of stories or microhistories from fragments, Ginzburg takes on the bigger questions: How do we draw the line between truth and fiction? What is the relationship between history and memory? Stories range from medieval Europe, the inquisitional trial of a witch, seventeenth-century antiquarianism, and twentieth-century historians."-- |
