Inhaltsangabe

Regret doesn't care who you are.

Tears of the Titans steps inside the minds of 65 of history's most consequential figures — saints and monsters, geniuses and fools, the world-famous and the almost-forgotten — each confessing, in their own first-person voice, the one choice they can't undo.

You'll stand with Galileo as he recants the truth he knows is real. You'll sit inside Dracula's centuries of hollow immortality, and inside Sitting Bull's reckoning with a world that had no place left for his people.

You'll meet Leopold Lojka, the driver whose single wrong turn triggered World War I, and Henry Tandey, the British soldier who once spared a wounded young German soldier — and lived to wonder if that soldier was Hitler.

Napoleon relives Moscow. Oppenheimer relives the bomb. Judas relives the betrayal. Gandhi relives the partition he couldn't stop. Shakespeare's own creations — Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear — sit alongside the real men and women who shaped, and were shaped by, history's hardest moments.

This isn't a book of heroes. It's a book of humans — the famous and the infamous alike — each one finally telling the truth about the weight they carry.

65 vignettes. One universal emotion. Nobody escapes regret — not even the titans.
