This book serves as a valuable resource for those interested in uncovering hidden gems of leadership history. Andrew Lang, a renowned Scottish author and scholar, draws on his extensive knowledge of history and literature to explore the lives of these Lost Leaders. Lang's passion for uncovering forgotten histories and his meticulous research is evident in the thoroughness of each biographical sketch. His dedication to highlighting the achievements of these overlooked leaders offers a fresh perspective on the impact of lesser-known figures on the course of history. I highly recommend 'Lost Leaders' to any reader with an interest in history, leadership, or biographical studies.

Sobre l'autor
Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a prolific Scottish writer and scholar, known for his work as a poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He earned a reputation as a master of folklore and storytelling, most notably through his 'Coloured' Fairy Books, which have enthralled generations of readers. Published in 1889, 'The Blue Fairy Book' was the first of twelve in this series and is perhaps his most celebrated collection. Yet, Lang's literary prowess extends well beyond his fairy tales. His acute literary critique is exemplified in works like 'Lost Leaders' (1889), where he explores prominent figures whose impact has faded in the public memory. Lang's eclectic scholarship reflected in his writings spanned various genres, resonating Victorian fascination with the exotic and mythical. His style combined a romantic penchant for the supernatural with an intellectual rigor that added depth to his narratives. His marriage with Leonora Blanche Alleyne infused his work with a rare synergy, her input being discernible in many of his works. Despite his broad oeuvre, his legacy endures most in his fairy tale compilations, which continue to permeate popular culture, charming both children and adults worldwide with their magic and sincerity.
