There is an obscured witty language in “The Book of the Dead” which
makes shocking facts about some famous characters less shocking! In addition to
the biography of some famous dead people, it contains additional knowledge
about everyday things and objects which one may not be aware of, or attempt to learn.
For instance, we learn about the life of the person who was first thought of
farming ostrich, buffalo, and bison; or the first female doctor in England; or
the real agent 007. Also, if one wants to know who introduced broccoli and
cauliflower and artichokes into our dining; or who invented forks as parts of
utensils; or why the name of the center of business world is “Wall Street”; or
who invented gum; or who inspired classics such as “Faust” and “The Magic
Flute”; can go no further than scrutinizing over this book. The book is divided
into ten chapters, and each chapter is about a human character or a way of
life.
