Life Lessons from Byron

Resumen del libro

Born in 1788, Lord Byron was an English poet and a leading figure of the Romantic movement. 'I was born for opposition', he proclaimed, and he would later become renowned for being 'mad, bad, and dangerous to know'. A prodigious poetic gift and a scandalous private life made him famous throughout Europe, and his masterpiece, Don Juan, became the biggest-selling work of the period. He remains one of the most provocative, seductive voices of world literature.


The Life Lessons series from The School of Life takes a great thinker and highlights those ideas most relevant to ordinary, everyday dilemmas. These books emphasize ways in which wise voices from the past have urgently important and inspiring things to tell us.
