    Very nice book. It has many little stories and you learn a lot of things. The 4 stars are because some of the stories were a bit boring.

    Very nice booklet and overall the separate little stories (per chapter) help you not to get bored. The references/citations within the text from historical/philological sources are quite useful. I definitely recommend it.

    Awesome book, written in a different way than usual, very interesting, with beautiful stories that take you on a journey from the first chapter! It gives you a "picture", as a worthy book should do! It also has many interesting details and stories that we don't all know.

    *Most books refer to events starting from a protagonist or a famous ancient etc., but here it narrates each story/chapter by talking about the ordinary everyday person, and then "introduces" the famous person involved.
