As a student of history at the University of Cape Town and as I write an essay on Braudel's work, I really appreciate the perspective that you provide here

"What is needed to make a great global historian? Let me introduce you to Fernand Braudel. ... a very long life ... a powerful institutional position ... immense creative energy ... great linguistic ability ... a huge and consuming interest ... a wide experience outside his own culture ... a conversion experience ..." Braudel has certainly influenced many historians and authors. On the 29th of December 2019, the science writer Victor McElheny sent me an email containing, in part, the following: " .... My own “take” on my career is that I was driven to, or striving for, the job of witness to an age of technological change. The main intellectual quest was to grasp history, in the sense of people as different as C.P. Snow and Fernand Braudel and Garrett Mattingly of The Armada, the stumbling and contingent story of how we got where we are. The motto is, “We are fated to survive.” The smart aleck formulation could be: “Nothing so interesting as Armageddon will happen.” My 2017 essay in the 60th anniversary book of my class of 1957 (pages 683-692) at Harvard is entitled, “So We Decided Not to Blow Ourselves Up." ..."

Interesting presentation. Macfarlane explains quite well what are, according to him, the flaws of Braudel's work, in particular Civilization. Yet, I am afraid he does not give a full account of the beauty and greatness of the book.
