BLIGHTY：THE QUEST FOR BRITISHNESS, BRITAIN, BRITONS, BRITISHNESS AND THE BRITISH

Book ID/图书代码： 07980008B21093

English Summary/英文概要： Everyone seems to be talking about ’Britishness’ these days - but what does it really mean? Is it all just a big con? Having skewered modern British life in the bestselling Is It Just Me or Is Everything Shit, Steve Lowe and Alan McArthur set out to uncover the deep dark truth about Britain - its history, its myths and its people. Over the course of a year they watch Dorset Morris men dancing on a chalk-giant’s thirty-foot-long erection and search for a couple of pissed dragons under a hill in Wales. They ask Prince William what it means to be British, witness Scotland rising again (a bit), encounter terrifying Europhobe ladies in Surrey, and lose the will to live in Gibraltar. They also meet a lot of druids. Hilarious, timely and provocative, BLIGHTY offers a brilliant, alternative vision of Britain - the island in the Atlantic that some people call Britain.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 英國人是全世界最無趣的，但也是最會自嘲的人。這對英國作家搭檔這次不寫困擾現代人的猫狗小事或超遜產品，以同樣的百科全書詞條方式，大大糗了自家英國人一頓。透過此書，讀者可以笑看大不列顛如何成了小不列顛？品嘗最正統的英式幽默，甚至還可以學習英文。(TT)

About the Author/作者介绍： Steve Lowe and Alan McArthur write about music and politics for various newspapers. They have a sneaking suspicion that everything is shit. This is their first book.
