Sommario/riassunto

<DIV><DIV>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 writing of previous generations-is to bind oneself by the passions and prejudices of the age into which one is born. John Lukacs, one of today's most widely published historians, explains what the study of history entails, how it has been approached over the centuries, and why it should be undertaken by today's students. This guide is an invitation to become a master of the historian's craft.</DIV></DIV>
