This book is about the" hair towers " of the eighteenth century and the brain of the late Einstein, about the lamb that flew on the balloon of the Montgolfier brothers, the ancient liar-geographer, and much, much more. A COP trying to climb Everest; a brain thief; a Barber responsible for the death of his best client; a Chilean shepherd who saw real vampires; a predecessor of Jacques Chirac. Seventy-five portraits — seventy-five people who lived in the shadow of great men (Napoleon, Socrates, Marcel Proust) or great events (the discovery of America, the landing in Normandy, the conquest of Space) - and all of them, each in their own way, and sometimes even unwittingly, inscribed their names in the annals of world history. The main thing is participation! French writer and screenwriter Frederic richaud, author of both solid biographies and serious novels, as well as historical comics, this time shares with readers his collection of whims and quirks of History-little-known and funny historical anecdotes, completing them with a humorous, then sad, but always smart and aphoristic commentary. Richaud was born in Aubignan in the Vaucluse Department in 1966. His father was a painter, his mother a pianist. He attended St. Joseph's high school in Carpentras. Once in Paris, he devotes himself to writing novels, biographies, and comic book scripts.
