Stories from the lives of famous people have always been told and recorded, since ancient times. Contemporaries and descendants have found and are finding in them something that is not in the chronicles and chronicles and is almost not in the piles of historians. In these fascinating, often comical, and often very instructive plots, the heroes of the past appear to be real people - witty, eccentric, generous, or, conversely, fussily petty, etc. Sometimes these stories make you look at a historical figure with a fresh look, and it turns out that her greatness is just tinsel that flies away from a light breeze. And in other cases, the traditional irony and skepticism towards a particular figure after getting acquainted with some episodes of his life may suddenly be replaced by respect and even admiration.
This edition contains stories from the lives of great and famous people, extracted from various sources, including "Comparative Biographies" of Plutarch, "Maxims and Thoughts" by Nicolas Chamfort, "Authentic anecdotes about Peter the Great" by Yakov Shtelin, notebooks of Peter Vyazemsky and much more.
