Inhaltsangabe
An A-Z of Hellraisers is the last word on inebriated misbehaviour, and the miscreant mob in this whopper of a book constitute the most amazing grouping to see print, from Alexander the Great, whose drunken revelries once ended with the destruction of an entire city, to W. C. Fields, who passed critical judgement on a brass band by urinating over them from a hotel balcony, Dylan Thomas, who drove a sports car onto Charlie Chaplin's private tennis court, to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, suffocating on his own vomit after consuming forty measures of vodka - what a night out that was!
This hilarious volume makes for an ideal bedsife companion, or pub reading fodder, as it scrutinises and salutes these glorious individuals from Winston Churchill to Keith Moon, George Best to Ernest Hemingway, Wild Bill Hickok to Sam Peckinpah, Ozzy Osbourne to Errol Flynn. Just thank God we didn't have to live next door to any of them.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. This quirky and anecdote-driven A-Z compendium celebrates the most outrageous, depraved, tortured and eccentric hellraisers the world has ever seen. It is the last word on boozy misbehaviour and the characters in this whopper of a book constitute the most amazing grouping to ever see print, from Peter the Great, famous for his debauched drinking orgies, to Benjamin Franklin who firmly believed that beer provided proof of God's existence, to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham who suffocated on his own vomit after consuming forty measures of vodka; what a night out that was! We salute these gloriously inebriated nutters from Winston Churchill to Sid Vicious, Van Gogh to Billie Holiday, Alfred the Great to Ozzy Osbourne, and thank God we didn't have to live next door to any of them.
