Description:

Carlo Ginzburg's new essay collection takes a bold stand against naive positivism & allegedly sophisticated neo-skepticism. It looks into questions raised by decades of post-structuralism: What constitutes historical truth? How do we draw a boundary between truth & fiction? What is the relationship between history & memory?
