The Famous Die Young – A calendar with 366 icons and their too-short life stories.

365 days of death, 365 ways of death, 365 excitingly told biographies.

Good stories are sometimes not without a certain tragedy. And what could be more tragic than a much too early death? This entertaining daily calendar plays on the fascination with tragic, sometimes ludicrous, deaths.

Every day of the year, the tear-off calendar tells the inspiring life story of an icon who died too young. Whether James Dean, Joan of Arc, or Friedrich Schiller – the sudden passing of these heroes shocks posterity.

The protagonists are pioneers in their fields, true geniuses, courageous inventors, celebrated stars, fallen heroes, brave fighters, impoverished thinkers, exceptional athletes, and exceptional musical talents. An illustrious circle of true legends who achieved great things at a young age and pushed the boundaries of their time.
