About This Book

Apologie pour l'histoire ou Métier d'historien est un essai de Marc Bloch rédigé entre la fin de 1940 et les premiers mois de 1943. Inachevé, il est publié de manière posthume en 1949, à l’initiative de Lucien Febvre. Marc Bloch s'interroge sur ce qu'est l’histoire, et plus particulièrement sur le rôle et les méthodes de l’historien dans la construction de cette science.
