Opis

Artsy Fartsy, Cultural History of the Fart is a fascinating and factual overview of the common fart through human culture and history. The cough, sneeze, hiccup, stomach rumble, burp, belch, and other bodily sounds simply cannot compete with the notoriety of the fart. Whether encountered live and in person or through the medium of literature, television, cinema, art, or music it may leave a powerful and lingering memory. The history of the fart in culture and society is a seldom told but remarkable tale. In spite of it being a natural and everyday occurrence, most of human society has considered it to be beyond the bounds of acceptable behavior in the presence of others. The suppression of a normal physiologic necessity, and it being banished from proper society, has made the fart a notorious sensation. Its release has had powerful consequences, from the unexpected triggering of wars that led to the death of thousands of innocents, to the opposite extreme of inducing spasms of laughter with the entertainment of millions. Easy to read and colorfully illustrated, the book can be opened at random to unique entries, or read cover to cover. The knowledge gained will make the reader a fountain of cultural information that will be sure to leave an impression on others. A compendium of euphemisms of how to describe a fart without uttering the forbidden word, as well its translation in foreign languages, is also included. Additional famous quotations of the noted historical and cultural figures are incorporated to balance their reference to the lowly, but all-powerful, fart.
