Stephen Arnott è uno scrittore britannico la cui opera spazia dalla saggistica all'umorismo, spesso incorporando elementi di narrativa storica. Si immerge nell'epoca oscura, creando storie d'avventura che mostrano la sua distintiva voce narrativa. Arnott scrive anche sotto lo pseudonimo S. J. Arnott, permettendogli di esplorare diverse sfaccettature dei suoi interessi letterari e di connettersi con un pubblico eterogeneo.

In England glaubte man früher, es bringe Glück, wenn der erste Weg eines Neugeborenen nach oben führt. Deshalb musste die Hebamme das Baby sofort nach der Entbindung die Treppe hoch schleppen - oder ersatzweise mit ihm auf einen Stuhl oder eine Leiter klettern.§§Stephen Arnott hat eine Unmenge solcher liebenswerter historischer Bräuche, aber auch skurriler oder makabrer Gewohnheiten aus aller Welt gesammelt. So erfahren wir zum Beispiel, warum man im Kongo beim Biertrinken eine Glocke läutet, unter welchen Umständen ein Inder früher mit einem Schaf verheiratet wurde und dass russische Priester einst von den Bäuerinnen über Getreidefelder gerollt wurden, damit die Ernte gut wurde.
Man Walks Into A Bar is a one-stop shop for anyone who likes to hear and tell jokes. The jokes are ordered thematically - wives, husbands, doctors, lawyers, the French, the Germans, jokes about nuns, jokes about monkeys, the lot. There are also regular panels which group jokes by type too - Essex girls, changing a lightbulb etc. Our material will turn you into the toast of your local pub or make you loathed in your own home - remember, it is all in the telling. From the sublimely erudite to stuff Frank Carson would turn down (the book has a 'world's worst jokes' section), this book can service you with every joke you'll ever need.What do you call an eskimo chav?InnuinnitWhat did the zen student say at the hamburger stand?Make me one with everythingWhat's Irish and lives in the garden?Paddy O'Furniture
