Resumen: "On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History" by Thomas Carlyle is a collection of lectures published in 1841. Through six presentations examining figures from Odin to Napoleon, Carlyle argues that exceptional individuals shape the course of civilization.

His provocative philosophy—embracing heroes' creative energy over moral perfection—challenged both democratic ideals and conventional religion, sparking fierce debate about power, progress, and humanity's future.
