A criação na escrita da história

Abstract

History as an academic field has claimed for a scientific status since ever. Along the 20th Century, historians had been criticized for pushing too hard their aim at to give History a scientific framework by adopting a technical and even a hermetic language. Such a strategy led to the raising of a countertrend which states a sort of “a return to narrative”. In this intellectual context, this essay aims at to analyze a sample of historical narrative which failure lies in its narrative excesses.
