«Plus grand que grand» is the historical essay by Emmanuel Pierrat, published by La Librairie Vuibert in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Emmanuel Pierrat analyzes the cult of personality with a gallery of portraits ranging from Ramses II and Stalin to Steve Jobs. He brings together little-known anecdotes (the mango as an object of worship in Maoist China, mass pilgrimages to a cave in Yugoslavia) to show the permanence and universality of the powerful's egocentrism.
The full subtitle is «Une histoire insolite du culte de la personnalité». The first edition was published in August 2016.
For readers interested in history, politics and propaganda seeking an accessible account full of anecdotes about power.
