Os Miseráveis Romanos (História horrível)

His books often highlight the bizarre and shocking facts to engage young readers. I wonder how he chose which stories to include and how he balances humor with education.

The book made ancient history feel so vivid and shocking, but I’m curious if others were surprised by how dark certain aspects are compared to typical history books.

The jokes and funny stories seem to make learning fun, but do they risk oversimplifying or trivializing serious topics? Wondering how this approach impacts young readers’ understanding.
