{"product_id":"portraits-the-forgotten-individuals-who-shaped-history","title":"Portraits: The Forgotten Individuals Who Shaped History","description":"This selection of Portraits gives pride of place to the secondary figures who make the wheels of history whir and thrum. They include Churchill’s half-forgotten right-hand man, a leading light of the Parisian Belle Epoque lost to history, and an early space pioneer virtually unknown outside of his native Russia. History belongs not only to the popularly renowned but also to the other figures, the men and women who found their energies suddenly borne along by events or who made a unique contribution to the great debates of their time. Leading writers show us how these individuals shaped the world as we know it, examining their successes as much as their failures and delusions.\n\nIn these portraits we find the dim traces left by interesting lives lived and conscientiously restore them, so that they gleam once more, bright and alive in the present.\nThese 25 intruiging portraits are printed in separate booklets collected in a beautiful box.\n\nContributing writers:\nJames Barr, Gillian Clark,\nArmand D’Angour, Daisy Dunn,\nPeter Frankopan, Jessica Frazier,\nLaura Freeman, Lawrence Freedman,\nMaria Golia, Matthew Goodwin,\nJames Hardie, Vanessa Harding,\nRob Johnson, Paul Lay, Alexander Lee,\nTim Marshall, Jenny McCartney,\nRana Mitter, Catherine Ostler,\nAgnès Poirier, Andrew Roberts,\nDominic Sandbrook, Graham Stewart,\nAndrew Wilton and Adrian Wooldridge.","brand":"Stolpe Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57257056076120,"sku":"9789189425699","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/portraits-the-forgotten-individuals-who-shaped-history","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
