Krátky popis
Whether it’s flinging frozen rats or parading in holly evergreens,
racing snails or carrying wives, human beings have long displayed
their creativity in wild, odd, and sometimes just wonderful rituals
and competitions. To show what lengths we’ll go to uphold our
eccentric customs, British American graphic designer Nigel Holmes
channels his belief in the power of hilarity to bring together a
bewilderingly funny tour around the globe in search of incredible
events, all dryly explained with brilliant infographics. You’ll
encounter the startling facts behind peat-bog snorkelling in Wales
(wet suits recommended), hotdog-swallowing in the USA (tip: avoid
breakfast), or who can make a baby cry quickest in Japan. Through
this gallimaufry of gamesmanship and passion, an endearingly warm
and affectionate portrait of human endeavor and good humor emerges
as Holmes proves, page after page, that when it comes to feats of
bravery, endurance, or sheer nonsense, the world is united as one
in the fine, and often hilarious, way of celebrating culture.
