    • Ponad czterdzieści lat temu pięciu Brytyjczyk�w ? plus jeden kuriozalny Amerykanin ? zmieniło zasady komedii telewizyjnej. Pewnego p�źnego wieczoru w 1969 roku LATAJCY CYRK MONTY PYTHONA, nieprzewidywalny, niespodziewany p�łgodzinny program, wypełniony skeczami, bredniami i filmami animowanymi, zadebiutował na antenie BBC. Od tego momentu świat już nie był taki jak przedtem. Skromne początki wykreowały w efekcie najbardziej znaczący nurt wsp�łczesnego kabaretu. MONTY PYTHON autobiografia według MONTY PYTHONA to wyjątkowa okazja, by z nadzwyczajnej perspektywy spojrzeć na ? być może ? najważniejszą trupę komediową naszych czas�w. To także 400 stron zdjęć pochodzących w dużej mierze z prywatnych archiw�w i opublikowanych po raz pierwszy w tej oto książce.

      This is the script of the film which looks at what life is really all about, which featured the whole Monty Python team and was directed by Terry Jones This is a fully illustrated edition of the hilarious Python classic, which takes a pop at almost every single sacred cow of culture and includes the famous tune "Every Sperm is Sacred." Although primarily aimed at an audience of fish, Monty Python's film, The Meaning of Life, spans the whole range of human experience. It starts with the birth of a seemingly insignificant human being (especially from a haddock's point of view) who, sure enough turns out to play no further part in the film.
