When the Human Stars Shine

A gangster on the run, with the blood of heroes flowing through his veins; A strange forgotten door ruined a thousand-year-old country; A minute's hesitation by a loyal major general completely ruined Napoleon's dream; An ordinary French soldier composed the world-famous divine music "Marseillaise" overnight... In his masterpiece "When the Stars Shine", "The King of Biographical Literature", Stephen Zweig selected 14 "moments of the world" that are easily overlooked but have far-reaching influence in the long history, and portrayed 14 heroes of the era from a unique perspective. Eternity is created in an instant, and glory and shame are just a thought. The destiny of history may force people to remain in awe, but the sense of historical mission will inspire the passion of heroes, making them fearless and move forward bravely to light up the sky of human civilization. Regardless of success or failure, regardless of honor or shame, they are the eternal shining stars of mankind.
