Riassunto

Chi aveva uccelli chiamati Morte, Parrucche e Spinaci? Come si scrive il rumore di una porta che sbatte? Il cui titolo provvisorio era The Chronic Argonauts? Henry Eliot, autore, editore e insaziabile topo di biblioteca, ha saccheggiato le biblioteche e gli archivi della letteratura mondiale, compilando centinaia di liste di libri. Questa eclettica gazzarra mette in mostra i suoi preferiti: assistiamo alle tragiche fini degli antichi tragediografi greci, impariamo il nome del gallo domestico di George Orwell e frughiamo nella borsa da viaggio di Joan Didion; prendiamo in considerazione la storia delle barzellette letterarie sulle scoregge, orbitiamo attorno alle lune shakespeariane di Urano e incontriamo diversi maiali con le ali. Dal sublime al ridicolo, e tutto ci� che sta nel mezzo, le liste, i consigli e le chicche di Eliot delizieranno, ispireranno e sorprenderanno chiunque ami leggere. Splendidamente presentato con mappe e illustrazioni supplementari, il Book of Bookish Lists di Henry Eliot � il regalo essenziale per gli amanti dei libri.

Informazioni sull?autore

Henry Eliot is the author of The Penguin Classics Book, The Penguin Modern Classics Book, Follow This Thread and Curiocity: An Alternative A-Z of London. An inveterate bookworm, Henry has tackled a number of bookish adventures, such as recreating Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, leading pilgrims from Southwark to Canterbury and retelling the tales along the way; mounting a quest for the Holy Grail based on Malory's Morte d'Arthur; swimming across the Hellespont from Europe to Asia on the bicentenary of Lord Byron's crossing (the subject of Byron's 1810 poem, 'Written after Swimming from Sestos to Abydos'); and reading Ulysses in real-time on Bloomsday, 16 June, starting at 8am with grilled kidneys and finishing in the early hours of the following morning. He produced an interactive edition of Shakespeare's The Tempest in collaboration with Sir Ian McKellen and Professor Sir Jonathan Bate, which Apple named one of the '10 best apps of 2016', and for five years he was an editor of the Penguin Classics series in London. Today he is one of the QI research elves and hosts the podcast On the Road with Penguin Classics, in which he travels to discuss books with guests including Frank Cottrell Boyce, Louis de Berni�res, Rachel Joyce, Patience Agbabi, Andrew Motion and Will Self.
