Beschreibung
History is full of interesting events worth remembering. The author presents in his new book forty historical short stories based on real events. His selection of topics is very diverse, and many of the stories he presents will be completely new to readers. The unconventional approach in the form of fictional text is complemented by a historical excursion for each story, allowing readers not only to relax but also to learn. In the book, you will find a story about Ivan the Terrible's honeymoon, about capoeira and a black state in the middle of Brazil, about the White Lady who killed Frederick I of Prussia, about Catherine the Great's wedding night, about the Tyrolean hero Sandwirt, about a con artist who wanted to cut Manhattan in half, and about the tragic suicide of painter Benjamin Haydon and American Emperor Norton. And many more.
