Whose Amazing Life: The Man Who Asked Everything

A story about a short, ugly man who wandered the marketplaces of Athens asking questions until powerful people realized they didn't know what they thought they knew. He wrote nothing down, was sentenced to death for asking too many questions, and his ideas are still argued about today.
