Drawing from the hugely popular weekly Daily Telegraph column, the ultimate book of modern phobias! Did you leave work yesterday and have a stab of fear that you€™d forgotten to press save before switching off your computer? Did you then go to the pub, get very drunk, then wake this morning unable to remember what awful things you might have said or done? You€™re not paranoid (most of the time) but suffering from modern phobias. Such as antefamaphobia€”the fear that people were talking about you, but stopped just before you entered the room. Or agmenophobia€”the fear that the line you join will end up being slower than the other one. The Book of Phobias will confirm every sneaking suspicion you have of a suffering from a weird and wonderful phobia, and highlight some you never knew you had!

Dieses Buch behandelt moderne Phobien und deren Symptome, die vielen bekannt vorkommen dürften, wie die Angst, den Herd angelassen zu haben oder sich in Cafés über Getränke zu entscheiden. Es bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über verschiedene Neurosen von A-Z, darunter auch ungewöhnliche Ängste wie Vilimusophobie und Supsuescaphobie.

От издателя: Стивен Фрай, подтверждая свою репутацию человека-оркестра, написал историю классической музыки, которую вы и держите в руках. Но если вы думаете, что знаменитый острослов породил нудный трактат с перечислением имен и дат, то, скорее всего, вы заблудились в книжном магазине и сухой учебник стоит поискать на других полках. Всех же остальных ждет волшебное путешествие в мир музыки, и гидом у вас будет Стивен Фрай с его неподражаемым чувством юмора. Разговор о серьезной музыке Фрай ведет без намека на снобизм, иронично и непринужденно. Великие композиторы - словно его добрые знакомые, и рассказывает Фрай о них с симпатией и теплотой. При этом "Неполная и окончательная история" вовсе не сводится к шуткам и фраевской игре слов - напротив, она чрезвычайно информативна: исторические факты, забавные анекдоты, детали жизни и быта. Словом, это самая настоящая "История" - и не только музыки, но и всего, что ей сопутствовало: войн, научных открытий, литературных шедевров. "Неполная и окончательная история классической музыки" - книга в высшей степени занимательная, умная и смешная. Настоящее удовольствие для тех, кто всегда любил музыку, но почему-то боялся узнать о ней побольше.
