This is a story about William Perkin, who accidentally invented a purple color. And forever changed the world around him. Until 1856, dyes were exclusively natural - they were received from insects, mollusks, roots and leaves, and artificial staining was painstaking and expensive. But in 1856 everything changed. The English chemist, working on a medicine for malaria in his home laboratory, accidentally discovered a way of mass production of dyes in factories. This experiment or even a mistake made a revolution in fashion, chemistry and industry.
This book is an amazing story about how sometimes even the smallest thing can change and have such a long and important impact.
