Mehr zum Buch

The exploration of greatness extends beyond conventional heroes like Julius Caesar and John Howard, emphasizing that nobility can arise from various actions, even those deemed morally questionable. The narrative contemplates the artistic merit found in acts of theft, suggesting that a masterful execution of such acts can command respect despite societal reprobation. It contrasts the crude violence of ancient theft with the sophistication of modern crime, illustrating how civilization has transformed the perception of theft into a refined profession.
