| Publisher Description: The world is fascinating, poets have been saying it for centuries and they are right. This is not ... A tourist guide. It is not a tourist guide, as the name suggests. It is a celebration of the surprise, the absurdity and the fascination that 21 curious places in the world transmit to us. They are haunted houses, impossible hotels, modern monoliths, gardens full of monsters, eternal flames rising from the ground, rooms hanging on high, narrow houses and, in general, monuments to the empire of the imagination.Join us, dear reader, for a walk that celebrates places where logic has fallen, where functionality does not arise, where the game, the absurd and sometimes human stupidity reigns. It may seem like a lie, it may sound like a story, but it isn't.Everything, everything, you will read here is true, as true as the authorized biography of many politicians. Because this is a strange and sometimes incomprehensible world and we want to toast it with you. As the great poet Ciriano Plubio Nas n said "The more I see, the less I understand, but the better I spend it". About 21 curious places in the world, it has been said: "The funniest thing you've read to me before going to sleep"Descendant of one of the authors. "A sovereign nonsense, really"Fistulo Bassom, President of the Association of Sad and Ashes."An indispensable book"Maximum Creditor of the publisher.Oriol Font i Bassa, descendant of a long line of professionals recognized in respectable jobs, broke the tradition, first studying cinema and then dedicating his life to letters and bar conversations, which will lead to a long torture in the place of punishment of any of the religions in the world (statistically one or the other will be right). In 2018 he published his first novel, Sheep and Shit (yes, it is not a joke title, it exists), he is a journalist and content director of the web www.laisladelosconejos.com Albert Rubio i Costa was born as a pagan reborn on the hidden side of the moon, but soon the family moved to Santa Coloma de Gramanet, hardly noticing it. He studied with the Jesuits, graduated in Philosophy and has a Master in Literary Creation. He resides with his wife, two daughters, a top hat and a white rabbit, in Vic. He has no Twitter or Facebook or Instagram or visible tattoos, he could be sitting next to you right now and you wouldn't know it. |
