Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

George Mikes dice: 'Gli inglesi non hanno anima; hanno piuttosto l'understatement'. Ma hanno il senso dell'umorismo: lo dimostrano acquistando oltre trecentomila copie di un libro che li ha fatti a pezzi in silenzio e completamente, un libro che ha davvero fatto perdere la testa ai Mikes.
