Produktbeschreibung
In October 1582, time itself skipped forward. Ten days vanished from calendars across parts of Europe, never to be lived. This was no magic trick or cosmic event-it was the result of one of the most important calendar reforms in human history.

In this richly illustrated account, you'll uncover:

  • The story of the Julian Calendar and why it fell out of sync with the seasons.
  • The bold decree of Pope Gregory XIII that changed how the world measures time.
  • How ordinary people reacted when they went to bed on October 4... and awoke on October 15.
  • Why some countries accepted the change immediately, while others resisted for centuries.
  • The lasting impact of the Gregorian Calendar, which still governs our daily lives today.


With historical documents, archival images, and a bilingual English-Malay narrative, this e-book brings to life one of history's most fascinating "disappearances." Perfect for history enthusiasts, curious minds, and anyone who's ever wondered: How can days simply vanish?
