The Strongest Man in the World [Debon, Nicolas, Debon, Nicolas] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Strongest Man in the World Review: Strongest Man in the World - Louis Cyr was my mother's great uncle (my great grand uncle I suppose). I heard stories about him when I was a child. It is cool to now find a book that validated those stories - they're true! What fun to find it out. This is a kids book, though, not what I thought it would be - a history book about my uncle. Review: Great story, beautiful book about a remarkable man - This is a surprisingly moving book about the life trajectory of a strongman. No, I do not have any special interest in this topic area, yet it is one of my favorite books for its storytelling and beautiful visuals. It manages to tell a historically informative recounting of the life of a famous man in a way that is accessible and very poignant. I love books that give me a sense of a world I know nothing about, and didn’t think I was even interested in, yet immerses me. His life story is truly remarkable.
