Features: This book introduces 139 world-renowned figures in chronological order, from ancient times to the present. From Aristotle, who dominated Western culture for over 2,000 years, to Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientific giants of the 20th century; from Homer, the blind poet whose name is immortalized in history, to Leo Tolstoy, the revered literary master; from the legendary Caesar to the revolutionary leader of the proletariat, Lenin; from Socrates, who inspired people to understand themselves, to Nietzsche, who championed the philosophy of the übermensch; from Leonardo da Vinci, a master of the Renaissance, to Salvador Dalí, a master of surrealism—none fail to leave us in awe. Here, you can travel through time and experience with them the rigor and wonder of science and technology, the passion and creativity of literature and art, the development and progress of the economy and politics, and the depth and rationality of philosophy and ethics.
