A collection of 100 meetings between famous people and the events that followed those meetings. Ranging from Cyrus the Great in the sixth century B.C. to Bill Clinton during the 2000 presidential campaign, "Brief Encounters" covers the meetings of many famous (and some not-so-famous) people throughout the ages. Each entry puts the people in context with what was happening politically, describes the meeting, and then gives a paragraph about what happened next. All entries are cross-referenced. A few sample entries: *The year 452: Pope Leo I persurades Attila the Hun not to attack Rome *1786: Walter Scott meets Robert Burns and is impressed by his Eye *1812: Beethoven meets Goethe (and snubs the Austrian empress) *1922: Proust, Joyce, Diaghilev, Stravinsky, and Picasso share a night at the Majestic

Brief Encounters

History

Covering all the need-to-knows, from bagpipes to Billy Connolly, this collection is the real McCoy, a comprehensive guide to Caledonia and its remarkable people. As the proud possessors of a fiercely independent creative heritage, the Scots were a race apart even before Hadrian built the wall. Scotland has produced an indomitable bunch of fighters, builders, thinkers and drinkers, poets, players, and pedagogues that have shaped the course of modern history. Edwin Moore has gathered together more than 1,000 facts about its monarchs, heroes, and rogues; battles, scandals, and great trials; food and (of course) drink; legends, folklore, and sports—for starters—and presents them here in easily digestible, scone-sized portions. This is the perfect gift for anyone curious about the connection between Homer Simpson and small Scottish town Larbert, or about whether both Barack Obama and John McCain can really be descended from a Scottish Lion.
