The history of the world that we know is not only built on great names, dates, victories, and discoveries - it is woven from millions of human emotions and actions. In this book, Daniel Lopez Valle carefully collects absolutely incredible stories about ordinary people who are not written about in textbooks and books, but it is their decisions that ultimately influenced the formation of the world we live in.
You will learn how the most sought-after Hollywood actress fought against fascism, how a petty crook invented terrorism to deceive an insurance company, how two military commanders simulated military actions for the sake of continuing their joint drinking session, and you will see the true story of the prototype of the famous Mulan.
Absurd, touching, vivid, unnoticed, and understandable to each of us - before you are stories that will allow you to look at the world a little differently.
