Produktinformationen zu „A Year in the Merde “
Self-published in France, and a subsequent bestseller, the hilarious story of a year in the life of a young Englishman abroad.
Klappentext zu „A Year in the Merde “
Originally self-published by the author in Paris, this hilarious satire of the French is finally made available to the masses in England. Stephen Clarke moved to France to set up some 'English' tea rooms in Paris. He gives an hysterical account of the pleasures and perils of being a Brit in France, as well as tips on how to make the perfect vinaigrette and how not to buy a house in the French countryside. A truly delightful read.Autoren-Porträt von Stephen Clarke
Stephen Clarke lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not writing.His Merde novels have been bestsellers all over the world, including France. His non-fiction books include Talk to the Snail, an insider's guide to understanding the French; How the French Won Waterloo (or Think They Did), an amused look at France's continuing obsession with Napoleon; Dirty Bertie: An English King Made in France, a biography of Edward VII; and 1000 Years of Annoying the French, which was a number one bestseller in Britain.
Research for The French Revolution and What Went Wrong took him deep into French archives in search of the actual words, thoughts and deeds of the revolutionaries and royalists of 1789. He has now re-emerged to ask modern Parisians why they have forgotten some of the true democratic heroes of the period, and opted to idolize certain maniacs.

Rezension zu „A Year in the Merde “
"Edgier than Bryson, hits harder than Mayle" The Times "Must have comedy-of-errors diary about being a Brit abroad" Daily Mirror "This is the season's word-of-mouth must-have book for Francophiles and Francophobes alike... This comedy of errors has almost certainly done more for the Entente Cordiale than any of our politicians" Daily Mail
