Reviews

[Batir · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the best products of the 1001 series. It takes into account some key quotations and describes the settings and circumstances of when, where and why they were said. A wonderful journey of knowledge in different areas of interest. Probably much focused on western dimensions rather than international ones...but still a compelling read.
