Historical Miniatures

The book includes historical miniatures taken from different eras and countries, telling of great, unforgettable moments of history that determined not only the fate of individual people, but whole peoples. The author selected such events from the past in which a person’s personal feat or deed organically merged with a turning point in history. These events “like eternal stars... shine without fail in the night of oblivion and decay.”
