Illusio. A World History of Delusions and Deceptions

Since the times of Ancient Rome, the principle "Errare humanum est" - "To err is human" (Seneca the Elder) has been known. Sometimes mistakes are caused by external influence, and we call this deception, while at other times, serious and knowledgeable people make errors, and we prefer to call it delusion.

This book collects various types of blunders and deceptions that have frustrated (or delighted) humanity in many fields - in science, politics, art, sports, and popular culture. You will see that humans have erred and deceived others since ancient times, and this continues to this day.
For a wide range of readers.
