Synopsis
From Santa Claus to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, from Uncle Sam to Uncle Tom, here is a compelling, eye-opening, and endlessly entertaining compendium of fictional trendsetters and world-shakers who have helped shape our culture and our lives. The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived offers fascinating histories of our most beloved, hated, feared, and revered invented icons and the indelible marks they made on civilization, including: # 28: Rosie the Riveter, the buff, blue-collar factory worker who helped jump-start the Women's Liberation movement # 7: Siegfried, the legendary warrior-hero of Teutonic nationalism responsible for propelling Germany into two world wars # 80: Icarus, the headstrong high-flyer who inspired the Wright brothers and humankind's dreams of defying gravity . . . while demonstrating the pressing need for flight insurance # 58: Saint Valentine, the hapless, de-canonized loser who lost his heart and head at about the same time # 43: Barbie, the bodacious plastic babe who became a role model for millions of little girls, setting an impossible standard for beauty and style, From detectives and criminals (Dick Tracy, Perry Mason, and Norman Bates) to the legendary characters of the theater (Hamlet, Shylock, Romeo, and Juliet), this lively, informative guide introduces dozens of well-known fictional figures and explores how they have helped shape our culture and our lives. An encyclopedic look at several dozen of the most well known "people" of literature, television, mythology, and film, The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived reveals such fascinating tidbits as: * how the opera character Siegfried actually started World War Two and Harriet Beecher Snow's Uncle Tom helped spur the American Civil War * how Ibsen heroine Nora Helmer, television heroine Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and poster girl Rosie the Riveter popularized women's liberation * how Ivanhoe uncovered the linguistic heritage of Britain * how Icarus invented flight insurance * and more Packed with reading and viewing suggestions for further reading and viewing, this fascinating, unique guide is sure to inspire and satisfy any curious mind., A fun and thoughtful exploration is offered of imaginary people who have affected our lives and culture, from Jim Crow and Sherlock Holmes to James Bond and Archie Bunker to Mickey Mouse and Santa Claus.
