The hours of fate in the history of humanity

Author's name: Stefan Zweig Publisher: Al-Mada for Publishing and Distribution Literary classification: Literary study Book overview: One of the books creatively authored as it talks about historical stories, and more precisely about pivotal moments that left an impact on human history afterward, discovering the Pacific Ocean, conquering Constantinople, the Battle of Waterloo... a play by Tolstoy... with a graceful literary style... and deep historical hints about events and people that are not devoid of brilliance and intelligence... The book tells you that what is significant, dangerous, and non-negotiable perhaps was once born from a wrong experience or at least an unintended one, or at the very least an experience with equal probabilities. It also tells you that the harshest moments of fear... despair and frustration... that moment when you lose confidence in yourself to zero, these moments carry within them their victory and strength, their profound and sudden transformation to the bright side of life. The book subtly encourages you, seeping deep into you, not to fear trying... not to hesitate to advance and break through... never fear adventure... because what you fear often happens opposite.
