Extrait : "Comme on vit les Grecs s'élancer contre les murs de Troie, qui refusait d'ouvrir ses portes, serrer leurs rangs, se suivre file à file, emboîter le pas à la manière de nos gentils tourlourous, et former une magnifique queue, plus terrible cent fois que la queue de la comète de 1811 ; ainsi le spectateur, au bruit d'un grand succès dramatique, s'élance aux portes du bienheureux théâtre."

An Italian memoir. Laine gave up her job as a nurse, sold her home and gave away most of her belongings.

A man with a van took most of her remaining belongings, along with her basset hound Basil, down to the heel of Italy over 1,500 miles away, where she would spend the next four years.

Extrait : "Qu'un autre dans ses vers célèbre les orages, Encense l'opulent aux brillants équipages, Chante d'une beauté les appas arrondis, Ou les cantiques purs des saints du Paradis. Moi, je veux célébrer dans mes justes louanges La délicate odeur qu'exhalent les vidanges. Et présenter la merde à vos yeux étonnés. Or, prêtez tous l'oreille et bouchez-vous le nez."

This compendium is a highly opinionated, occasionally bogus representation of the most egregious modern examples of both common irritating folks and the rich and powerful who demean others while enriching themselves. It also includes real villains. See if you can tell the difference. The subjects of this book barely scratch the surface of the total number of jerks worldwide. However, they are excellent examples of those who often wallow in a putrid...
