It is a unique advantage for the creator launching their project on a crowdfunding platform – entrepreneurs get direct feedback from their backers and are able to benefit from the ‘wisdom of crowds’, which is sometimes more valuable than the funds obtained.

...950 BC . The exposition part is quite confusing because of many foreign-sounding names and without knowledge of some history is almost impossible to understand what the writer wanted to introduce. Soon the narrator changes the mood and one very hilarious story begins. The entire story was written readable, but to understand the message you should little bit think about. On the other hand, thanks to usage of dialogue, I can imagine to tell or read the story to children as a bedtime story. The story is showing us the relationship between men and women. All of the four important characters in this story are showing us something up-to-date. It is unbelievable because the book was written in 1902, the story is set to about 1000 BC and even now, in 2012, we can recognize the symbols and the old facts about people. The main character, the most interesting, and the first person we meet, is the Suleiman-bin-Daoud. We can say that is could be the stereotypical sovereign of this age in this place with magnificent golden palace and nine-hundred and ninety-nine wives. But he is not so flat. Thanks to his name, we can anticipate one basic quality, of course that he is wise, but in the story, we learn about them many other things. For example, he understands the speaking of animals, the language of nature and simply everything. If we compare it to Czech fairy-tales – all of our heroes, even antiheroes, get their...
