«Historias del tiempo» is the historical essay by Jacques Attali, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in paperback (287 pages, in Spanish).
A history of the objects used to measure time, from the first sundials to the most unusual devices. Attali examines techniques, forms and uses, their theorists, inventors and makers, and relates the use or abandonment of each instrument to the social order: at the crossroads of power, the way time was perceived changed.
Originally published in 1991, it is part of the Historia collection of Fondo de Cultura Económica.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of time measurement and everyday objects, and for horology enthusiasts.
Jacques José Mardoché Attali is a French economic and social theorist, writer, political adviser and senior civil servant.
