| Description: |
A biographical dictionary presenting "warts-and-all" pictures of famous and infamous characters from history. Over 200 people are covered, from Alexander the Great to Zola. Each entry is divided into themes focusing on the subject's life and personality (such as health, bad habits, and hobbies). |
| Synopsis: |
Most biographical dictionaries merely provide a bald and arid listing of the subject's date of birth, life history and major achievements, offering scant idea of what he or she was really like as a human being. Private Lives, in total contrast, scores strongly on the 'Hello!' magazine scale of intimate revelation, painting full, warts-and-all, what-do-they-keep-in-their-underwear-drawer pictures of over 200 famous and infamous characters from history. |
