Happy New Year! Let’s start this year with a massive piece! One that we hope will give you readers massive enjoyment. And which will definitely be one of the cornerstones of Journeys of Life.
An admittedly entirely subjective article on people throughout history whose lives have impressed if not their contemporaries then certainly posthumously.
We give here one person for each month of the year. This page is of course being updated on a continual basis as the site grows. And your own list would naturally differ to an extent, but many of these names are well-known for most anybody - at least those of people born after, say, 18th century.
This is supposed to be light, yet informative reading that gives you a quick look into the human history. Feel free to comment or give your own suggestion as to who is the most valuable, important or otherwise interesting person of any of these months.
We also strive to strike a balance between different professions, nationalities, and gender when possible.
And instead of having images for each year like in the year files, we give you here a sample of human history in the form of art: paintings, photographs and music to rest your eyes and ears on. The relevant image or video is right beneath the year in question, the year being that of creation, not of any single, later performance.
Enjoy the reading, watching and listening!
