Synopsis

This collection brings together twenty compelling stories—each independent, each rooted in a different time, place, and human experience. Some reveal extraordinary twists of fate and unexpected protagonists: Fat Moisha, the Jewish Pirates, the secret world of Mossad, the mystery of the K-129 submarine. Others follow remarkable individuals who defied circumstance and reshaped their destinies—among them Galeazzo Ciano, Igor Gouzenko, Lorenzo Da Ponte, and Duško Popov.

A third group celebrates minds of brilliance whose legacy continues to inspire awe and curiosity: Leonardo da Vinci, the Nobel family, Michelangelo, Genghis Khan, and more.

Themes of ambition, love, deception, and sacrifice unfold in stories of impostors, courtesans, and iconic figures such as Alexandre Dumas, Isaac Singer, and Justiniana Wynne.

Each story invites the reader to encounter a figure—often overlooked, sometimes forgotten—whose life sparks curiosity and invites deeper exploration.

Step into a journey across history's hidden corners—and discover the extraordinary where you least expect it.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Viktor Rodos was born in Moscow, in what was then the Soviet Union. School, university, and a degree in aircraft engineering. Closed and doctrinarian Soviet society didn't leave much room for inquisitive minds. In 1990, he left everything behind to begin a new life in Canada. Starting from scratch, Viktor turned to a lifelong passion-uncovering forgotten stories, overlooked figures, and the untold realities behind well-known events. Years of research and discovery grew into a series of compelling lectures that have captivated audiences for over a decade. This book is the result of that journey-a collection of short stories that challenge what we think we know about the past. Viktor Rodos lives in Toronto with his wife, Ilona, whose steadfast support made this work possible. The sons, Eugene and Stanley, have built successful careers and are raising a new generation in North America.
