Moments When Humanity Shines - Fourteen Historical Miniatures

Moments When Humanity's Star Shines consists of short essays on the decisive moments that shaped the history of humanity. Stefan Zweig describes those unique "moments" of "creative individuals" such as Mehmed the Conqueror, Handel, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and Lenin, who were able to exceed the limits imposed by the temporary conditions around them. Best, let's hear it from him:
Tragic and fate-determining moments, when a decision spanning ages is compressed into a single calendar, a single hour, and often only a single minute, are very rare in the lives of individuals and in the flow of history. I called such moments Moments When Humanity's Star Shines; Because they, just like the stars, shed light on the darkness of the past, unchanged... While narrating the events, I did not change the facts, nor did I color or enrich them with my own contributions. Because history does not need hands extended to help it in such unique moments when it reaches perfection.
