Summary
Martin Zimmermann: Greats of History
Greats of History presents a series of biographies of great historical figures who stand behind scientific and technical achievements and works of art that today represent a general cultural asset. If we look back at several thousand years of history, cultural development and technical inventions that mankind has achieved, we will see that behind all these inventions and achievements are people. And it is to these people that the book Giants of History is dedicated. On almost 400 pages, significant figures from all areas of human knowledge and activity (eg history and politics, philosophy, literature, music, religion, great discoveries, natural sciences and great inventions) are presented. From their portraits, we learn details from their lives, but also the meaning of their work and discoveries today. The Croatian edition of the book is supplemented with portraits of the greats of Croatian history such as Stjepan Radić, Marko Marulić, Marin Držić, Vatroslav Lisinski or Vladimir Prelog.
