Viac o knihe

Throughout the centuries, men and women have exercised their highest powers of imagination and wit in speaking ill of one another. This delightful collection of impudent wit and verbal abuse includes put-downs and insults from people as diverse as Terence, Beethoven, Oscar Wilde, Al Capone, Mark Twain & H.L. Mencken. Nearly one thousand derogatory remarks encompassing virtually all aspects of the human condition, including the extremely fertile ground of politics and art. Pointed put-downs & audacious phrases from all eras of history. Accompanied by b&w illustrations by David Shaw.
