This book is the intellectual testament of the great historian Pierre Vilar (1906-2003). In it, Vilar offers a combination of reflections on history and personal memories. The book begins with the last pages he wrote before vision loss led him to continue it before a recorder, turning it into an exercise in "egohistory" where he tries to answer questions that have been posed to him throughout his life. The result is a text in which memories are intertwined with the evolution of the ideas of the intellectual generation of which Vilar was a part, including figures such as Sartre, Nizan, Brasillach or Raymond Aron.
Pierre Vilar was a French historian specialized in the history of Catalonia and Hispanism. He is considered one of the most authoritative 20th-century historians for the history of Spain, for both the Ancien Régime and modern history. He and Jaume Vicens Vives were among the most influential historians of Catalonia.
