Beskrivelse
Who was the only French king ever photographed? Why was the guillotine really invented? Was a French soldier really thrown out of hospital for eating babies?
The history of France stretches back thousands of years, to the time before even the Romans had arrived to conquer the territory. From the days before Gaul to the Wars of Religion and the French Revolution and on to the modern age, 1001 Unforgettable French People looks at the monarchs, heroes, villains, inventors, artists, eccentrics, rebels, murderers and other misfits who've shaped the land and its history. Some of the names are hugely famous, while others might have slipped between the cracks. All of them, in one way or another, left their mark on the history of the place that today is called France.
The rules for inclusion in this book are simple: everyone in the book is dead (with one or two exceptions), they're all human (apart from a few examples) and they were all born in France or its precursors (other than a small number who started somewhere else).
