Présentation de l'éditeur :
Dal lancio del ratto congelato all'usanza di sfilare ricoperti di agrifoglio, dalle lumache da corsa al trasporto della moglie, gli esseri umani hanno spesso dato sfogo alla propria fantasia ideando competizioni e rituali curiosi, selvaggi e talvolta semplicemente meravigliosi. Il graphic designer angloamericano Nigel Holmes ci mostra le usanze più eccentriche ed estreme, usando il suo senso dell'umorismo per accompagnarci in un sorprendente ed esilarante giro del mondo alla ricerca di gare e tradizioni incredibili, raccontate con grande ironia e divertenti infografiche. Scoprirete gli sbalorditivi eventi che diedero origine a competizioni come lo snorkeling nelle torbiere del Galles (si consiglia l'utilizzo della muta da sub), le sfide all'ultimo hot dog negli Stati uniti (vi diamo una dritta: saltate la colazione) o le gare di pianto dei bambini giapponesi. Da questa accozzaglia di tradizioni, talvolta povera in fair play ma sempre ricca di passioni, emerge un ritratto affezionato delle imprese e del senso dell'umorismo degli esseri umani, mentre Holmes dimostra, pagina dopo pagina, che quando si tratta di prove di coraggio e resistenza o di competizioni senza alcun senso l'umanità si trova unita negli splendidi e spesso esilaranti modi che ha di celebrare la cultura.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. 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 snorkeling 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. Ever heard of the Air Sex Championships in Austin, Texas? How about bog snorkeling in Llanwrtyd, Wales? No? Then brace yourself for Nigel Holmes's bewilderingly funny ride through the wildest, oddest, and most wonderful cultural events. From snail racing and baby crying to throwing just about anything, hilarious infographics reveal the lengths we'll go to uphold our eccentric customs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783836539081
