Klappentext
Twelve Against the Gods by William Bolitho is a dazzling exploration of adventure, ambition, and rebellion. First published in 1929, this literary classic profiles twelve legendary figures-among them Alexander the Great, Casanova, Napoleon, and Charles XII-who dared to defy convention and fate in pursuit of greatness. Each chapter is a gripping tale of a life lived on the edge, challenging the gods of order, reason, and safety. Bolitho doesn't merely recount history; he revives it with wit, drama, and insight, revealing the risk-taking spirit that drives human progress-and destruction.
Perfect for lovers of biography, philosophy, and bold storytelling, this book is both a celebration and a cautionary tale of what it means to live adventurously. It's not just history-it's a manifesto for dreamers, rebels, and anyone who refuses to live quietly.
