Features: Typically, classic books do not elaborate extensively on the deaths of celebrities—let alone the texts about their funerals—which is why it is necessary to bring people’s attention to this. However, we do not want to write in the same formal, verbose manner as classic books, listing and narrating in detail. Instead, we aim to concisely capture the readers' attention at once and tell them how the great figures who played pivotal roles and had a profound impact on our history left the world. For example: How did Casanova’s last dinner go? What did Rousseau say on his deathbed? Why did Vincent die? What did Mata Hari wear at her execution? Why did Freud hide under a blanket before his death? This book answers many such questions, offering both educational value and entertainment, as well as being touching yet lighthearted and witty.
