Opis

What is the past and what can we really know about it? Relying on his groundbreaking technique championing 'problem-based history,' Febvre explores whether 16th-century French writer Francois Rabelais was he really one of France's first atheists. Febvre's thorough research on Rabelais and the times he lived in challenges this accepted view.
