The Inconvenient Truth Hidden About the American Civil War

As fun as an old story,
World history that you can understand without memorizing it
Along with the hidden stories of people we didn't know about
A moment unfolds where you will be immersed in the world history!

Nothing in this world just happens.
Everything is connected, whether we see it or not.
We call the accumulation of these events 'history.'
However, the history we learn in class is centered around major events that are visible to the eye.
As a result, history came to be seen as something to be memorized and boring.
If we add to this the interesting stories that have been unseen to us but have caused the world to shake, history becomes an interesting and exciting event.
Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book, said, “History taught in the form of stories is never forgotten.”

『Naked World History: People』 is a collection of stories about people who left a significant mark on history, collected from the tvN program 『Naked World History』.
It contains not only moments that made a significant mark on world history, but also surprising facts that we encounter for the first time, and even history outside the frame that we have never seen before.

Beginning with the son of Zeus and ending with the heroes of modern American history, the historical figures who changed the world are presented in a three-dimensional manner by experts in each field.
In particular, due to time constraints, we have organized in detail even the content that could not be shown on the broadcast, so you can enjoy the vivid context of history as well as the hidden aspects of history that we did not know about.
It also shows Asian history, previously viewed from a Korean perspective, from a global perspective, and interprets world history, written by Europeans from the perspective of the victors, from the perspectives of the losers and victims.
If you've found history difficult, or world history boring, you might want to read "Naked World History: People" as if you were listening to a story that you can understand without having to memorize it.
The moment you open the book, it will guide you beyond knowledge to experience.

From the world's first cosmopolitan to America's dirt spoon president,
An engaging and informative non-contact world history study

The first person in human history to create the concept of 'globalization' was Alexander the Great.
It is the world's first cosmopolitan.
His father, who accomplished superhuman feats that are difficult for one person to achieve and created countless legends and myths, is said to be an unimaginable figure.
Who could it be?

Nero was once an emperor who was greatly loved by the Roman citizens.
He enjoyed poetry and music and developed Roman literature and art.
He implemented various policies for the citizens and showed generosity and flexibility by appointing people to government positions without discrimination based on social status.
However, he ended up being remembered as the worst tyrant who drowned Rome in blood and terror.
Did you know that it all started with the mother's philandering that turned her son into a monster?

Marie Antoinette is famous for saying, “If they don’t have bread, let them eat cake.”
The French people denounced her as the 'Queen of Luxury' and the 'Austrian spy who ruined France', and the once queen of France was executed by guillotine.
But Marie Antoinette's true nature was very different from what we know, and most of the rumors about her were fake news.
What was her real life like, beyond the queen we only saw in books, and what was the content of the fake news that led to the French Revolution?

"Naked World History: People" delves into the fascinating histories behind the various figures at the center of major events that shaped world history, from the world's first cosmopolitan to America's first president.
We begin a journey of world history that is more interesting and informative than a trip, starting with the war of gods and ending with the war of humans, traveling around the world with intellectuals representing each field representing Korea through contactless means.
