Welcome to QI: The Book of the Dead, a biographical dictionary with a twist - one where only the most interesting people made it in!QI have got together six dozen of the happiest, saddest, maddest and most successful men and women from history. Celebrate their wisdom, learn from their mistakes and marvel at their bad taste in clothes. Hans Christian Anderson was terrified of naked women, Florence Nightingale spent her last fifty years in bed, Sigmund Freud smoked twenty cigars a day, Catherine de Medici applied a daily face mask made of pigeon dung, Rembrandt van Rijn died penniless and Madame Mao banned cicadas, rustling noises and pianos. Carefully collected and ordered by the QI team into themed chapters with thought-provoking titles such as 'There's Nothing Like a Bad Start in Life', 'Man Cannot Live by Bread Alone'.

From the bestselling authors of The Book of General Ignorance and 1,277 Facts to Knock Your Socks Off, comes a fun and inspirational biographical dictionary, with motivational stories about the famous and the obscure.

Following Their Herculean - Or Is It Sisyphean? - Efforts To Save The Living From Ignorance, The Two Wittiest Johns In The English Language Turn Their Attention To The Dead. As The Authors Themselves Say, "The First Thing That Strikes You About The Dead Is Just How Many Of Them There Are." Helpfully, Lloyd And Mitchinson Have Employed A Simple - But Ruthless - Criterion For Inclusion: The Dead Person Has To Be Interesting. Here, Then, Is A Dictionary Of The Dead, An Encyclopedia Of The Embalmed. Ludicrous In Scope, Whimsical In Its Arrangement, This Wildly Entertaining Tome Presents Pity And Provocative Biographies Of The No-Longer-Living From The Famous To The Undeservedly And - Until Now - Permanently Obscure. Spades In Hand, Lloyd And Mitchinson Have Dug Up Everything Embarrassing, Fascinating, And Downright Weird About Their Subjects' Lives And Added Their Own Uniquely Irreverent Observations. Organized By Capricious Categories - Such As Dead People Who Died Virgins, Who Kept Pet Monkeys, Who Lost Limbs, Whose Corpses Refused To Stay Put - The Dearly Departed, From The Inventor Of The Stove To A Cross-Dressing, Bear-Baiting Female Gangster, Finally Receive The Epitaphs They Truly Deserve. Discover: - Why Freud Had A Lifelong Fear Of Trains - The One Thing That Really Made Isaac Newton Laugh - How Catherine The Great Really Died (No Horse Was Involved) Much Like The Country Doctor Who Cured Smallpox (He's In Here), Lloyd And Mitchinson Have The Perfect Antidote For Anyone Out There Dying Of Boredom. The Book Of The Dead - Like Life Itself - Is Hilarious, Tragic, Bizarre, And Amazing. You May Never Pass A Graveyard Again Without Chuckling. Nº de ref. del artículo: 007150
