This book is a self-selected collection of essays about historical figures, involving more than 20 ancient and modern figures. Each prose takes a typical event or time as the entry point, abandons the grand historical narrative and many comments, and replaces it with the language of prose culture, trying to restore the emotions, anger, sorrow, voice, and smile of these characters, with beautiful expression, strong readability, and strong humanistic flavor.
Reader comments
I especially like the author's unique entry point into each character, which makes me seem to be able to see their emotions. This reminds me of "The Biography of Su Dongpo", which also shows the life of Su Dongpo in the form of prose. Moreover, this book is very readable. It is like chatting with the author, and you can easily understand the stories of those historical figures. I think this book is very suitable for mothers like us who can enrich their lives through reading while taking care of their children.
