Krátky popis
Drawn from a&,nbsp,former BBC QI Elf'slifetime’s search for the
weird and the wonderful, The Most Interesting Book in The World is
a miscellany of things too strange to be true, yet somehow are.
&,nbsp, This remarkable treasury of tales and trivia will whisk
you on a jaw-dropping journey through time and space, stopping off
to marvel at only the obscure, the startling and the straight-up
weird. &,nbsp, In it, Edward Brooke-Hitching considers
questions such as: &,nbsp, Why is a cat technically a liquid
and a solid? How did nineteenth-century scientists attempt to
signal aliens? Why did the Dutch once eat their prime
minister?&,nbsp,&,nbsp, &,nbsp, Nowhere else will you
find woven together the stories of the religious leader who
attempted to build a robot messiah from a dining table, the
anti-gravity ‘air-walkers’ of Victorian London, and the pirates who
rode sheep, or practical advice for correctly exorcising a house
and casting ancient love spells, along with recent scientific
discoveries like the mould that can navigate a maze and that humans
can glow in the dark.&,nbsp, A unique hybrid of encyclopaedia,
trivia and drunken-bar raconteur, all stitched together in one
colossal Frankenstein volume packed full of images and photographs
- this is the ultimate must-read for anyone looking to tickle the
cortex of their curiosity.&,nbsp,
