Helge Hesse

Here I stand, I can do no other


Starting with eighty selected well-known sayings, Helge Hesse takes us on an entertaining and colourful journey through 2,600 years of global history. From the ancient world to the renaissance, the French revolution and the Second World War, every saying opens the door to a particular epoch and brings the famous events, people and places back to life: from Thales of Miletos’ “know yourself” to George W. Bush’s “axis of evil”.
