His Feudal Society is one of the best books I've ever read. In English, it's published in two vols.

His other works, such as that of the Magic Touch of kings in medieval France and Germany and French Rural History, were groundbreaking too

His book, The Historian's Craft, was unfinished at his death but it is an amazing contribution to historiography.

He founded the Annales School of history, the first true approach to history that focussed on groups rather than singular "great men."

The Annales school has been massively influential for myself, personally, as it is the study of collective mentalities of groups.

He was big on comparative history and interdisciplinary studies.

Medieval history was changed in so many ways by his work, and we are in his debt.

Whenever I see racist historians I just want to shove copies of Feudal Society down their throats.
