Název:

An Utterly Impartial History of Britain

Popis:

Many of us were put off history by the dry and dreary way it was taught at school. Back then `The Origins of the Industrial Revolution` somehow seemed less compelling than the chance to test the bold claim on Timothy Johnson`s `Shatterproof` ruler.But here at last is a chance to have a good laugh and learn all that stuff you feel you really ought to know by now...In this `Horrible History for Grown Ups` you can read how Anglo-Saxon liberals struggled to be positive about immigration; `Look I think we have to try and respect the religious customs of our new Viking friends - oi, he`s nicked my bloody ox!`Discover how England`s peculiar class system was established by some snobby French nobles whose posh descendents still have wine cellars and second homes in the Dordogne today. And explore the complex socio-economic reasons why Britain`s kings were the first in Europe to be brought to heel; (because the Stuarts were such a useless bunch of untalented, incompetent, arrogant, upper-class thickoes that Parliament didn`t have much choice.)A book about then that is also incisive and illuminating about now, `2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge`, is an hilarious, informative and cantankerous journey through Britain` fascinating and bizarre history.As entertaining as a witch burning, and a lot more laughs.
