Description

The book “Starry Hours of Humankind” tells of key events that influenced not only individual people, but all of human history. The collection describes the lives of politicians, soldiers, adventurers, travelers, writers, and composers whose contributions became turning points for the entire world. For example, the patriotic song “La Marseillaise” became the anthem of the French Revolution, and Dostoevsky—who avoided execution—became one of the most famous writers in the world. The author, Zweig, compared these moments to eternal stars shining in the nights of oblivion and the passing of time.
