How should we view history -After reading <History: A Very Short Introduction>

소개

History: A Very Short Introduction를 읽고 영어로 써서 만점을 받았던 서평입니다.
원서를 읽고 쓴 것이지만 번역본을 읽고 서평쓰시는 분들께도 도움이 될것같습니다.
역사를 바라보는 관점과 태도에 초점을 맞추어 책 내용 요약과 함께 제 생각을 넣었습니다.

본문내용

The author starts off by saying that presenting us an interesting story about Guilhem de Rodes. This mysterious-like story is presented probably to state the difference between history and past and how it is like to study history. Contrary to the myth, what historians present us cannot show us every detail of the past and not the truth itself. Past always has gaps and problems. There are some missing information in the existing material and sometimes some parts of evidence do not even exist. Therefore, historians should collect all the possible evidence and interpret them by ... .. Now I clearly know from this book that history is a process of argumentation. Although history has to be strictly based on the sources and seek truth, history itself can never be the absolute truth because of both internal and external reasons I believe. Internal reason lies in the characteristic of sources that they are full of gaps.
