Synopsis
A hilarious field guide to the world’s most remarkable and unusual creatures: the English.
Who are the English? What is this puzzling species? Where does it live? What are its habits? What does it eat? Why does it eat that? And why has it developed such unexotic mating rituals?
Join us on a journey deep into the natural habitat of the English, a journey to rival anything David Attenborough did with gorillas, a journey that begins on a sofa (and continues, unflinchingly, into the kitchen, out into the garden, off to work, down to the pub and then on to the beach… and the bedroom).
Matt Rudd’s fearless anthropological approach leaves no cliché unturned in his attempt to portray the real English. Are we really a nation of binge-drinking, horse-meat-eating, grumbling, tailgating slobs or is there something altogether more beautiful to be found lurking behind the cypress leylandii?
This unprecedented adventure will take you to a DFS store, to Blackpool’s third best B&B, to the coffee kiosk on platform one at 5.35 in the morning. You will step into a ready-meal curry factory, a naturist’s back garden and an office of the future where they do somersaults into beanbags. You will endure a night out in Wakefield, a night out in a queue and a night in Thetford Forest trying, unsuccessfully, to prove that dogging is an urban myth. You will watch Reading play football.
And all from the comfort of your own sofa. How English.

À propos de l?auteur
Matt Rudd is senior writer at the Sunday Times. In the name of journalism, he has worn a short skirt in public, had a tour of a £300,000 lettuce shredder and stood outside Pippa Middleton’s book launch for six hours in the freezing cold. In the name of this book, he has spent the last two years on the road with binoculars, a notebook and many Red Bulls. He lives in Kent with his family. Follow him @mattrudd.

Etat : Muy bueno. : En esta guía de campo, Matt Rudd explora con humor las peculiaridades de los ingleses, desde sus hábitos cotidianos hasta sus rituales más extraños. A través de un enfoque antropológico, el autor analiza si son realmente una nación de borrachos, comedores de carne de caballo y gruñones, o si hay algo más hermoso detrás de esa fachada. Con un estilo satírico y observador, Rudd nos invita a reflexionar sobre la identidad inglesa y sus estereotipos, mientras nos muestra lugares emblemáticos como tiendas DFS, Blackpool y oficinas futuristas.
