"The History of the World in jokes and anecdotes" is a unique collection that, like a time machine, takes you to the brightest moments of world history, but not through boring facts, but through the wit and accuracy of great people of the past. The anecdotes and jokes of antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance have proven their unfading relevance. Here is a real encyclopedia of humor, where political battles and philosophical disputes are peppered with witty sayings of monarchs, generals and writers, from Cicero to Napoleon.
The book itself impresses not only with its content, but also with its appearance. Its leather binding conveys the atmosphere of ancient libraries, where such collections have been kept on shelves for centuries next to the manuscripts of sages and philosophers. Inside there are carefully selected illustrations, from realistic portraits to caricatures, which add even more expressiveness to each character. These images provide an opportunity not only to hear the witty sayings of great people, but also to "see" them through the eyes of artists of that era.
Each page is imbued with humor, which will cheer you up, and sometimes make you think about eternal truths. Apt phrases uttered hundreds of years ago are still relevant, because, as you know, laughter is the best weapon against stupidity and prejudice. This book will be a magnificent gift for those who appreciate humor, wit and history. The delicate balance between seriousness and ease of presentation makes it an ideal addition to any home library, and its contents are an excellent reason for discussions with family and friends.
