The cycle of stories "The Stern Hours of Humanity" about the most important, pivotal moments in world history and the people who managed to influence its course, was written by Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century, in 1927. Among his heroes are the conqueror of Byzantium Sultan Muhammad, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, the discoverer of the Pacific Ocean, Rouget de Lisle, the author of the great "Marseillaise", Goethe and his young beloved, heroes of the Battle of Waterloo, the fathers of the telegraph, discoverers of California gold, and conquerors of the South Pole.
The book also includes the story of perhaps the most famous historical curiosity. By reading "Amerigo" (1942), you will learn why America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, and not Columbia - in honor of the one who discovered it, Columbus.
