Sobre este artículo
From back cover: "So you think you know all there is to know about people like Nero and Cleopatra, Lady Godiva and Lucrezia Borgia? How terribly terribly wrong you are. For here are the immortals of history in a delightful new light, irreverently stripped of the aura of time and revealed (in none of their glory) as the human beings they really were - the foolish, fallible, fascinating, famous, so very much our own common ancestors."
Quotes:"You'll never get as painless and pleasurable a history lesson as you'll get here." - Saturday Review
"Irreverent and racy" - Minneapolis Tribune
Very Good condition. Crack at spine on front and back covers, but spine is not cracked. A little edge wear and what appears to be a color print flaw on front cover. Pages are clean and binding is tight. Closed book page edges have a green tint on top, edge, and bottom.Please use photos as part of the description.
223 pages.
