In 1893, Friedrich Engels branded history 'the cruelest goddess of all'. This sorrowful vision of the past is deeply rooted in the Western imagination, and history is thus presented as a joyless playground of inevitability rather than a droll world of possibilities. This book emphasizes the many oft-overlooked comical renderings of history.
