Parikmakher Marii-Antuanetty - Risho Frederik

"History forgets many - but they are not forgotten by all. To remember them, you need to arm yourself with patience,
flashlight, and dig as deep as possible."
Frederic Richo
This book is about the "hairstyle towers" of the eighteenth century and the brain of the late Einstein, about a lamb flying on a ball of the Montgolfier brothers, an ancient liar-geographer and many, many other things.
A policeman who tries to climb Everest; Brain thief; hairdresser, responsible for the death of his best client; a Chilean shepherd who saw real vampires; Jacques Chirac's predecessor.
Seventy-five portraits - seventy-five people who lived in the shadow of great people (Napoleon, Socrates, Marcel Proust) or great events (the discovery of America, the landing in Normandy, the conquest of the Cosmos) - and all of them, each in their own way, and sometimes even not wanting it, entered their names into the annals of world history. The main thing is participation!
French writer and screenwriter Frederic Richo (p. 1966), author of both solid biographies and serious novels, and historical comics, this time shares with readers his collection of whims and quirks Of History - little-known and funny historical anecdotes , concluding them then humorous, then sad, but always clever and aphoristic commentary.
Richo was born in Obiyan in the Department of Vaucluse in 1966. His father was a painter, his mother a pianist. He attended St. Joseph's High School in Carpentras. Once in Paris, he devotes himself to writing novels, biographies and scripts of comics.
