Historical Miniatures: How Courage, Boredom, and Love Shaped the World
9.99 €
How well do you know history? Each of us went through this subject at school: memorizing big names, great dates and impressive figures. But do we know the real heroes of historical events? Their motives, experiences, bad habits and dreams? The greatest military leader and politician in history all his life was terribly embarrassed of his baldness. Two enemy pilots who fought desperately in the air were good friends on the ground. The mighty Viking leader was defeated by his opponent's tooth decay. And Keke Dzhugashvili more than once said to her son, Joseph Stalin, "It's a pity you never became a priest." Dozens of such biographies - absurd, touching, vivid, unnoticeable and understandable to every person - journalist Daniel Lopez Vallier has neatly collected in one book. Get to know in a new way the history that was created by ordinary people, sometimes driven by their fears and weaknesses, and, sometimes, capable of supernatural feats and the most outstanding deeds.
