Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Rollicking and informative, Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour is your guide through some of the most shameful behaviour indulged in by humanitys most celebrated figures, as told by Mikey Robins, one of Australias most loved comedians. It is often said that we live in an era of constant outrage, but we are definitely not the inventors of outrageousness. Lets be honest, human beings have always been appalling. Not everyone and not all the time, but our history is littered with those whose work and deeds have rendered them . . . reprehensible. Sometimes its our most esteemed luminaries who behave the worst. What are we to make of Catherine the Greats extensive collection of pornographic furniture, Hans Christian Andersens too-much-information diary and Karl Marxs epic pub crawls? Or hall-of-fame huckster William McCloundy, who in 1901 actually sold the Brooklyn Bridge to an unsuspecting tourist, and the pharaoh who covered his slaves in honey to keep flies off his meal? Did you know about the royal ticklers of the House of Romanov, and the bizarre coronation rituals of early Irish kings? (Lets just say that eating a white horse wasnt the weirdest part of the ceremony.) So sit back and rest your conscience: there will be a host of scoundrels, bounders and reprobates, tales of lust and power aplenty, as we indulge in that sweet spot where history meets outrage, with just a bit of old-school TMZ thrown in for good measure.Praise for Reprehensible: 'If they taught history like this in school, I wouldn't have failed.' Matt Okine 'Love it. Bloody brilliant. Fascinating and funny in equal measures.' Adam Hills Finally, Mikey Robins has put his vulgar mind to good use, telling historys lesser known grubby yarns. I love it! Tom Gleeson 'I loved reading this book and look forward to passing off many of the facts and anecdotes as my own.'

paperback. Etat : Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
