Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. While chock-full of historic and influential names, each entry was only a few pages long and many times this felt more encyclopedic than history book. If you are looking for an in depth analysis of those who have changed our world, this isn't it. But if you want skim the pages of history and feel a little bit smarter for knowing of so many historical figures, this book is for you. If you added illustrations and pictures, this could have been a large coffee table book (which would be pretty cool). ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"The history of the world told through the entertaining, horrifying, and inspiring characters that everyone should know. The giant characters of history--from Mozart to Michelangelo, Shakespeare to Einstein, Henry VIII to Pol Pot, Shaka to George Washington, Jesus Christ to Genghis Khan--lived lives of astonishing drama and adventure, debauchery and slaughter, but they also formed our world and will shape our future. In this eclectic and surprising collection of short and entertaining life stories, Simon Sebag Montefiore introduces his choice of kings, empresses, sultans and conquerors, as well as prophets, explorers, artists, actresses, courtesans and psychopaths. From the ancient times, via crusades and world wars, up to the 21st century, this accessible history introduces readers to the titans who changed the world: the characters we should all know, and the stories we should never forget"--
"A collection of short biographies of the men and women who have each somehow changed the course of world events"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
