About This Novel
"The World History of the Big Man" is an introductory book on world history written for the public by Simon Montefiore, the author of "Three Thousand Years in Jerusalem". History is not determined by a few people, but it is these people who changed the course of history that make up the face of our world today. From Ramesses the Great and Confucius to Anne Frank and Bin Laden, from kings, queens, conquerors, gangsters to prophets, poets, composers, and philosophers, they are either noble and brave, with unique charm, intelligence, and creativity; or they are reckless, arrogant, cruel, shameless, and almost crazy; or they are a combination of the two, a contradiction between heroes and beasts. Historian Simon Montefiore uses detailed historical materials and a unique biographical writing style to tell the stories of more than 100 historical figures and their impact on the world in chronological order, thus forming this unique world history spanning more than 3,000 years. Simon Montefiore talked about the original intention of writing, saying: "My purpose is to encourage readers to discover more about the lives of those great people - it is these people, both men and women, who created the world we live in now.
