Sobre IBD

How often I ponder on the forbidden privilege of sitting down and chatting with history’s most interesting people. Given a quiet room in an isolated rustic cottage with bay windows looking out on a bucolic scene who would you choose to spend a quiet summer’s evening with?Given the daunting choice of people who over centuries changed history the question itself is tantalising. Besides, who you choose says much about you too.Being a traveller, I would shortlist David Livingstone and as a historian King Edward VIII and Napoleon Bonaparte. As a writer, an evening with Charles Dickens has much appeal. I can also imagine a fireside chat to understand the motivation of emperors and revolutionaries better.Great Sayings and Stories of History will help you to focus your mind on your choice of table talk companion.
