Articoli correlati a How to Rule the World
London. A city robbing and killing people since 50BC.
The Vizz: an industry in crisis. Baxter Stone, a film maker and television veteran, a lifelong Londoner (who thinks he sees better than others) is having problems in the postbrain, crumbling capital. Swindled by an insurance company, he's in in debt; a Lamborghini is blocking his drive and MI6 is blocking his mobile reception.
He hopes to turn it round and get the documentary series that will get him the Big Money. But what do you do if history is your sworn enemy and the whole world conspires against you? Is there any way, you could, for a moment, rule the world justly?
Darkly comic, How to Rule The World follows Baxter's battle for truth, justice and classy colour grading as it takes him from the pass of Thermopylae, to the peacocking serial killers of Medieval France, and the war in Syria. A trip from the Garden of Eden to Armageddon, plus reggae.
Demonstrating Fischer's inimitable talent for eviscerating social satire, How to the Rule the World is a magnificently funny read to stand alongside his best loved works, the Man Booker shortlisted Under the Frog, The Thought Gang and Don't Read This Book If You're Stupid, all of which Corsair will publish in e-book next year.

Recensione:
Darkly comic . . . Tight, savage and satirical - a book perfectly weighted to the times. Pick it up. (Evening Standard)
You can't really do justice to Fischer's writing. He mixes the fantastical with the mundane, effortlessly swinging across language and grammar for his own entertainment and the delighted bamboozlement of readers. His latest novel, set in "post-brain London" is a merry journey to be savoured (Stylist magazine)
Tibor Fischer is a master of the bitter laugh. There are plenty to be had in [How to Rule the World] . . . Fischer has written a wickedly funny novel about a serious topic. Read How to Rule the World. It will make you feel smarter than you really are. (The Times)
Powered by dark humour . . . Fast-paced and fun, it reads like a comic strip (Sunday Times)
[Baxter's] plight is so awful that only a writer with the flair of Fischer could turn it into five-star entertainment. But that is what this darkly comic gem of a novel provides. Line for line, it is hilarious, with many a side-swipe at the shallowness of the television industry. And the minor characters are priceless. (Mail on Sunday)
