A popular encyclopedia tells children about great and famous people who left an indelible mark on history.
Biographical information, interesting facts, and evidence from contemporaries are a wonderful way to get to know well-known writers, artists, and musicians in an exciting, accessible form.
Schoolchildren will learn a lot about poets and writers from different eras—from antiquity to our own days: Homer and Aesop, Dante and Petrarch, Molière and Racine, Defoe and Swift, Goethe and Dumas, Derzhavin and Pushkin, Krylov and Leo Tolstoy; about Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian, and other Renaissance painters; about the celebrated composers Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and many others.
