The first English translation of this classic text, Life Stories demonstrates how asking participants to narrate the concrete details of their daily work reveals the tacit knowledge, relationships and processes that sustain entire ways of life.

Beginning his career in 1967, as full-time Researcher in Sociology at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), he has worked with Raymond Aron, Pierre Bourdieu, Raymond Boudon, Alain Touraine and Robert Castel among others.
