Tear-off Calendar Biographies | The Famous Die Young | Seltmann Publishers

The Famous Die Young is a tear-off calendar about icons who died young: every day you tear off a sheet and read another person's life story. It carries a date but no day of the week and no year, so you can use it again every year.

From Joan of Arc to James Dean

The calendar runs through every century and every field: pioneers and inventors, thinkers who died poor, athletes, fallen heroes and musicians who went at their peak. From Joan of Arc and Friedrich Schiller to James Dean. What they share is that they achieved a great deal young and that their work outlived them.

The date, the cause and the story

Each sheet carries the date of death, what that person died of and a short portrait of their life. That makes it not a sombre volume but a calendar about what someone built in a short time, with our fascination with the abrupt ending running through it.

In a box, with a stand and a booklet

This edition comes in a sturdy box you can go on using once the calendar is finished: for jewellery, for the sheets you wanted to keep, or for anything else. The box also holds a cardboard stand to display the calendar and an accompanying booklet.
