The story spontaneously trends towards the tragic and prefers the exceptional over the ordinary. This is particularly true for the key figures from whom we know the great moments, famous words, conflicts and ends, particularly when they are dramatic, but from whom we know almost nothing of their daily lives, which nonetheless constitutes the backbone of their existence. What were their habits? How did their days unfold? At what time did they get up and did they go to sleep? The heads of state who have changed the world were they hard workers like Stalin and Napoleon? Did they have pass-times, or any avowed or secret passions? Did they like the splendor of appearances, like Louis XIV, or did they prefer to live apart while trying to preserve their privacy, much like Nicolas II? Were they as exuberant as Churchill, or reserved as Robespierre? These questions - and many others - have been left unanswered prior to this book imagined by Franz-Olivier Giesbert and Claude Quétel: under their guidance, the best writers of 'Le Point' and renowned historians lend their talents to tell, with a rare joyfulness in writing, the typical day of twenty iconic leaders from the Middle Ages to the present.
