Synopsis :

When it was first published in 1950 The Decline and Fall of Almost Everybody was on the New York Times best-seller list for four months. An hysterically funny (yet historically accurate) romp through world history by a great American humourist and raconteur.

Présentation de l'éditeur: This light-hearted romp through history sets off with the conundrum of the two Egyptians, carrying on to explore the Strange Bedfellows of Attila the Hun, Charlemagne and Lady Godiva, ending up in Merrie England and the roamings of Christopher Columbus, et al. It is a journey through the annals of history with the heroes and villains of the past as your fellow travellers: Lucretia Borgia, Lady Godiva, Henry Viii, Elizabeth I and George Iii. As Will Cuppy's profiles of the good and the great make you realise that the truth of history is far stranger than the fiction!
