About this product
Art. : 324-73

Stories from the lives of great and famous people have always been told and recorded, since ancient times. The ancient Greeks, the creators of ancient culture, in their quest to find the truth, often resorted to arguments that we would call humorous today. This is how funny and instructive stories from antiquity appeared.

Stories from the lives of great people have always been told, and Contemporaries and descendants find in them something that is not in chronicles and chronicles and almost not in the works of historians. In these fascinating, often comical, often very instructive plots, the heroes of the past appear to be real people — witty, eccentric, generous or, conversely, fussily petty, cowardly and stupid. Interesting facts from the lives of great people will help you look at geniuses from a different perspective. Sometimes these stories make you look at a historical figure with a different, fresh look. 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 gift edition contains stories from the lives of great and famous people, collected 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.
