L'Histoire, mais pas comme on l'apprend dans les livres, comme un chapelet de dates, de lieux, d'événements.. L'Histoire vue à travers le petit bout de la lorgnette, au quotidien, des histoires. 1000 histoires insolentes, 1000 histoires insolites. Ces épisodes ont été choisis, non pour leur valeur morale forcément, mais plutôt pour ce qu'ils ont de plaisant. Car on peut parfaitement se cultiver en s'amusant, sans se prendre la tête. Ainsi, on passe de l'Antiquité à une période récente, en passant par Henri IV, Louis XIV, et Napoléon, et leurs Cours respectives, leurs courtisans, leurs favorites. Sans oublier les monstres comme Diogène, Voltaire, Piron, et tant d'autres....
Quelques-uns des noms mentionnés: Henri IV, Ésope, Le Dante, Platon, Alexandre, Raphaël, Bacon, Thomas More, Cicéron, Pic de la Mirandole, Turenne, Diogène, Bayard, François Ier, Scipion, Arnaud, Plutarque, Malherbe, Rembrandt, Mme de Montespan, Fontenelle, Bourdaloue, Mme de Staël, Amyot, Ménage, Solon, Dangeau, Catherine de Médicis, Alexandre Sévère, Duchesse d'Aiguillon, Xerxès, Eschyle, Louis XIV, Bassompierre, La Maupin, Voltaire, Thémistocle, Tibère, Duc de Vendôme, Cardinal du Bellay, Villars, Benserade, Cambyse, Bussy d'Amboise, Boileau, Duc de Guise, Henri III, Jacques Ier, La Fontaine, Louis XII, Jules César, Christophe Colomb, Grillon, Denis le Tyran, Domitien, Duc d'Enghien, Jean Galéas, Saint-Aignan, Mademoiselle de Scudéry, Sésostris, Socrate, Pope, Scarron, Pythagore, Régnier, Rabelais, etc.
