Locos adorables

You don't know Ada Byron or her great feat in the world of computing, but maybe you do know her father, Lord Byron. Nor do you know who the cook François Vatel is, but you will have heard of the sumptuous banquets that Louis XIV gave at his court. And of course the name of Annie Oakley will not sound familiar to you, but that of her contemporaries of hers Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill. And it is that behind every great man or woman there is, without a doubt, an adorable madman with an incredible life that you should know. And Daniel Samper has discovered ten of the most fascinating in this book: François Vatel, Aimé Bonpland, Ada Byron, Temístocle Solera, Ezequiel Uricoechea, Annie Oakley, Graciela Olmos, Sidney Franklin, Hedy Lamarr and Mané Garrincha are the eccentric and extremely interesting protagonists of the unfairly unknown stories that make up these pages and that will make you fall in love.
