Krátky popis
'He's 100% political herpes. Back in six months whatever you do. Or
three days, like last time.' Camilla Long on Nigel Farage 'You're
as ugly as a salad.' Bulgarian insult 'I'm going to beat him so bad
he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.' Muhammed Ali There's no
pleasure like a perfectly turned put-down (when it's directed at
somebody else, of course) but Matthew Parris's Scorn is sharply
different from the standard collections. Here are the funniest,
sharpest, rudest and most devastating insults in history, from
ancient Roman graffiti to the battlefields of Twitter. Drawing on
bile from such masters as Dorothy Parker, Elizabeth I, Donald
Trump, Groucho Marx, Princess Anne, Winston Churchill, Nigel
Farage, Mae West and Alastair Campbell - which form an exchange
between voices down the ages - Scorn shows that abuse can be an art
form. This collection includes extended literary invective as well
as short verbal shin-kicks. Encompassing literature, art, politics,
showbiz, marriage, gender, nationality and religion, Matthew
Parris's sublime collection is the perfect companion for the
festive season, whether you're searching for the perfect elegant
riposte, the rudest polite letter ever written, or a brutal verbal
sledgehammer.
