Reseña del editor
‘No people in Europe are as clumsy and awkward with their hands as the Portuguese’ In the middle of the 1800s, Mrs Favell Lee Mortimer set out to write an ambitious guide to all the nations on Earth.There were just three problems.She had never set foot outside Shropshire. She was horribly misinformed about virtually every topic she turned her attention to.And she was prejudiced against foreigners. The result was an unintentionally hilarious masterpiece: ‘People who are dainty must not come to Norway.’ ‘If the Siberians’ taste in dress is laughable, their taste in food is horrible.’ ‘British America [Canada]’s Lake Superior is so immense, that Ireland might be bathed in it; that is, if islands could be bathed.’ In The Clumsiest People in Europe, Todd Pruzan has gathered together a selection of Mrs Mortimer’s finest moments, celebrating the woman who turned ignorance into an art form.
Contraportada
‘No people in Europe are as clumsy and awkward with their hands as the Portuguese.’ Comically insensitive and startlingly opinionated, Mrs Favell Lee Mortimer offers up a wonderfully inappropriate and hilarious account of Victorian prejudices.
