### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A brilliant work. One of the moments he talks about ...
*by P***Y on August 14, 2015*

Absolutely fascinating!!!! A brilliant work. One of the moments he talks about is a man called John August Sutter, who bought land in San Francisco and the area adjoining, and farmed it prior to the Gold Rush. When the Gold Rush arrived men had no qualms about shooting the farmers, and terrified, they all fled the land!!!!After twenty years, he sued for restoration of his lands.On the steps of Congress Hall on the 17th July 1880 he finally had a heart attack and died - a dead beggar with a treatise in his pocket which according to law he could claim the greatest fortune in the history of the World!!!!The other eleven moments in History are equally amazing - A GREAT WRITER!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very original, often deep, not universal
*by P***T on November 10, 2006*

Zweig writes, without ever being verbose, about twelve events he finds momentous. The translation is superb. The events tend to be centered around central Europe, or Europeans, which is why I wrote "not universal." In any case, who could definitively select the twelve most important moments ever? The description of the people involved is searching and severe when needed, and the motivation for choosing them usually convincing; these people had "big lives" and Zweig has a passion for his fellow humans. The book is often a page-turner, and the reader is rapidly exposed to a wide range of experiences. I enjoyed every story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captivating reading by a most gifted writer
*by J***R on December 26, 2014*

Each of these historical miniatures is a gem in its own right. Some tell of those who failed miserably when thrust by chance or choice on the world stage while others tell of those who seized the moment and succeeded in their life quest, sometimes going far beyond what even they had envisioned for themselves. This is my introduction to Zweig and I'll go from this to his history of Marie Antoinette.
