"Can Carlton prevent Alex and Lewis from losing their gigs, help them overcome the love thing, and finally understand the meaning of comedy in the universe?"--BOOK JACKET.

This is the script of the film which looks at what life is really all about, which featured the whole Monty Python team and was directed by Terry Jones This is a fully illustrated edition of the hilarious Python classic, which takes a pop at almost every single sacred cow of culture and includes the famous tune "Every Sperm is Sacred." Although primarily aimed at an audience of fish, Monty Python's film, The Meaning of Life, spans the whole range of human experience. It starts with the birth of a seemingly insignificant human being (especially from a haddock's point of view) who, sure enough turns out to play no further part in the film.

The essential gags, sketches, and songs, handpicked and introduced by the surviving members of the Python team. The book features full-color pages of Monty Python classics in a brilliant paperback format and includes gems such as Spamalot, The Meaning of Life, and many more enduring classics.

Stanley lebt in Hollywood und schreibt gelangweilt Drehbücher, als ihn die Muse küsst: Er wird einen Hollywood-Roman schreiben mit vielen Sexszenen und vielen Promis. Plötzlich wollen in diesem Roman eine Rolle spielen, denn wer nicht vorkommt, zählt nichts in Hollywood. Die Marketingmaschine läuft auf Hochtouren, doch leider gibt es eine Kleinigkeit, die Stanley meistens erfolgreich verdrängt: Noch hat er keine Zeile geschrieben ... Lustig, überdreht, verrückt, schweinisch, unwiderstehlich - ein Roman von Ponty-Python-Star Eric Idle für Leute mit Humor

"From the ingenious comic performer, founding member of Monty Python, and creator of Spamalot, comes an absurdly funny memoir of unparalleled wit and heartfelt candor"--

Despite its evergreen, cross-generational fan base, there hasn't been a new Monty Python book by all the surviving Pythons in 30 years. On their 40th anniversary, Monty Python Live! focuses primarily on their stage show and includes original material written for the book.

'I still feel somewhat nervous encroaching on the Palin territory of writing a travel diary based on a journey... thought it is true, I reason, that all the Pythons have been involved in documentaries. So this must be a Python thing. What is this urge to probe and examine by ex-comedians? Are they tired of dressing up as women? Surely not.' - Eric Idle The man who brought you the anthems 'Always look on the bright side of life' and 'Sit on my Face and Tell me That You Love Me' shows his naughty bits - and much more! As he crossed the US on The Greedy Bastard Tour, Eric Idle kept a diary on the Monty Python website updating fans with his experiences, insights and observations. Inspired by those blogs, THE GREEDY BASTARD DIARY is an honest, hysterical and moving book - part travelogue, part memoir - that chronicles those 80 days on the road, offering Idle's thoughts on his career, personal life and the country he now calls his home. Reflective, ironic, and stamped with his renowned wit, this illuminating work takes readers on a personal tour with the legendary star and offers an intimate, close-up look inside the man as never before.

Includes Monty Python's Big Red Book (1971) and The Brand New Monty Python Bok [sic] (1973). This double volume first published in 1981.

Over 30 years ago, a group of five Englishmen - and one wayward American - rewrote the rules of comedy with an unheralded half-hour show of sketches, hilarities, inanities and animations. Here the surviving Pythons provide the story of Monty Python's Flying Circus and the 'genius' who created it
