First, it carefully selects representative figures in world history. These 38 individuals have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields and have had a significant impact on human history, making them widely celebrated. Reading these biographies allows one to gain knowledge about politics, economics, culture, art, and all aspects of life, greatly broadening one's horizons, opening up wisdom, and providing valuable insights. It is particularly worth mentioning that to reflect the times, we have also included contemporary famous figures such as Konosuke Matsushita and Bill Gates, introducing readers to relatively new knowledge in fields like computing.
Second, it is accompanied by a large number of exquisite illustrations, making it a visual delight. This series is printed in full color, combining text with carefully drawn illustrations. There are approximately 1,500 illustrations, accounting for about one-fourth of the total volume, providing readers with vivid and striking visual experiences while reading, thereby enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the works.
Third, it includes a "Questions and Tips" section to guide reading. At the end of each chapter, we have proposed two or three questions, with relevant content in the main text highlighted in color. Some questions are thought-provoking, encouraging readers to engage in deeper reflection; others are knowledge-based, helping readers retain valuable information and benefit from it in the future.
Fourth, the length is appropriately concise, with each biography approximately 50,000 words, ensuring easy reading. Long biographies are often hundreds of thousands of words, with complex backgrounds and numerous threads, making them challenging for young readers. Moreover, some biographies are translations from foreign languages, often with obscure language that does not align with our reading habits, which affects young readers' interest. This series keeps each biography around 50,000 words, readable in just two days, with clear threads and concise language, making it highly readable and ideal as extracurricular reading for students without adding extra burden.
This series is an ideal extracurricular reading material for young people, especially middle school students. We hope they can draw strength, insights, and inspiration from the deeds of great figures.

It gathers 38 most famous figures in modern world history, spanning politics, economics, military, science, literature, and art.
