HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT IT MIGHT BE LIKE TO CHAT WITH SOME OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE EVER?Through the discussion between interviewer and interviewee, Bernard Marin has sought to offer insights into the personalities, passions and foibles of Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Sigmund Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, John Stuart Mill and John Maynard Keynes. Join Bernard as he embarks on a scintillating, amusing and - at times - confronting literary journey through time and place to meet some of the giants of history. The result of a great deal of research into the life stories of the interview subjects and studied through both primary sources - those written by the characters - as well as articles, books and films made about them. During the research, Bernard established a baseline of fact that would lend credence to the fictionalised accounts that appear in People Who Have Changed The World: Imagined Interviews and what will become a legacy of historical fiction and thoughts for the generations to gain new perspectives within. 'A very entertaining and intellectual work from a man who can write and question in many ways as he brings the persona of his interviewees to life in such clever ways...a triumph!' Colin, Indiebook Reviewer.
