A History of the World for Rebels and Somnambulists.
Jesús del Campo
From the beginning of the world, when God created Audrey Hepburn, the guilt complex and worker ants, to the end, broadcast live on a TV chat show, A History whips through our tortuous past with the deftness of a surgeon's scalpel.
Death, destruction, animal cruelty, boredom, overpopulation - enough is enough. A crowd gathers at the Vatican to protest against mortality, only to be distracted by the latest football scores. This is a history unlike any other, at once sinister, alarming and breathlessly funny.
