Schott's Original Miscellany makes few claims to be exhaustive or even practical. It does, however, claim to be essential. It will afford you great wisdom in the morning, several conversational bons mots for the afternoon, and many an enlightened smile after dark. Where else can you find, packed onto one page, the thirteen principles of witchcraft, the structure of military hierarchy, all of the clothing-care symbols, a list of the countries w...

From the mind that created "Schott's Original Miscellany" comes a unique volume exploring the idiosyncracies of the human condition... auf Deutsch, from haarmonie (reassuring your hairdresser) to zwillingsmoral (reading horoscopes you don't believe in). Funny and uniquely stylish.

Leggere parole tedesche, talvolta lunghe come treni, e trovare la cosa divertente. Sembrerebbe impossibile, eppure Ben Schott riesce nell'impresa. Chi conosce un po' la lingua tedesca lo sa: per formare parole nuove se ne uniscono di esistenti. "Zeitgeist", per esempio, è lo spirito ("Geist") del tempo ("Zeit"). E con questo meccanismo semplice ma infernale Schott conia nell'unica lingua al mondo capace di farlo parole indispensabili come Sonn...

A collection of essential trivia, uncommon knowledge and vital irrelevance which comes together to provide an irreplaceable gallimaufry of information like the hierarchy of witchcraft, the structure of the military ranks and a guide to clothing care symbols. If they're no good, how about a list of countries where you drive on the left, or a nursery rhyme about sneezing? There's nothing quite like it. A great gift for lovers of books and trivia.

From the mind that created "Schott's Original Miscellany" comes a unique volume exploring the idiosyncrasies of the human condition, but in German. Discover words like Haarmonie - reassuring your hairdresser you like the haircut, Mablneid - liking the look of a meal someone else has ordered better than your own, and Fuffaust - instinctively curling up your toes in mortification at someone else's mistake.

Leggerlo tutto in una volta è impossibile. Eppure non si riesce a staccarsene. L'Originale Miscellanea di Schott è una straordinaria raccolta di "trivia". Quale altro libro può vantare un indice che comprenda lunghezza delle stringhe e linguaggio dei segni, i sette peccati capitali, regole dei duelli e nani, dimensioni delle uova, risultati elettorali, le figure della Smorfia napoletana e i film di Fantozzi? In quale altro libro si possono tro...
