Tal vez demasiado largo para un amateur de la historia como yo, no se se me hizo pesado ( )

Dense, interesting, uneven. I didn’t realize this was translated from French. I don’t think I’ve reached for the dictionary this often in quite a while. Much more like a textbook than I was expecting, it’s a collection of essays, not the History Channel overview I was expecting. As someone who hasn’t studied much of this time it did give me a completely different perspective, although I suspect everyone would not agree with the picture presented here. ( )
