书籍介绍
Was the Battle of Hastings a French victory? No! William the Conqueror was Norman and hated the French. Were the Brits really responsible for the death of Joan of Arc? No! The French sentenced her to death for wearing trousers. Was the guillotine a French invention? No! It was invented in Yorkshire. Ten centuries' worth of French historical 'facts' bite the dust as Stephen Clarke looks at what has really been going on since 1066.

精彩摘录
- "...why is there such a love–hate relationship between the French and the Brits? The love is easy to explain: despite what we might say in public, we find each other irresistibly sexy. The hate is more of a problem. For a start, it’s mistrust rather than hatred. But why is it even there, in these day"
- "1688年，荷兰人奥兰治威廉王子(William III of Orange)入侵英国，成功占领。"
- "Calling a 10th or 11th century Norman a Frenchman would have been a bit like telling a Glaswegian he's English, and we all know how dangerous that can be."
- "William's brother Odo, was the Bishop of Bayeux. He can be seen in the tapestry, riding into battle brandishing a heavy mace instead of a spear or a sword - churchmen were only allowed to bash enemies' brains out, not stab them, which would apparently have been ungodly."
- "Featuring the Black Prince, Henry V and lots of dead French People Most people who write about the Hundred Years War are at pains to point out that it is an obvious miscalculation: a conflict that lasts from 1337 to 1453 is clearly not a Hundred Years War. And the most disappointing thing is it was "
- "在经过一个世纪的暴利时代后，骑兵侵袭开始亏损。这是一个劫掠者无利可图的时代。"
- "大部分英格兰人赚得盆满钵满，几乎所有建于1330年至1450年间的英格兰豪宅和城堡，都有一部分资金是从法国勒索来的。"
作者简介
Stephen Clarke lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not writing. His first novel, A Year in the Merde, originally became a word-of-mouth hit in 2004, and is now published all over the world. Since then he has published three more bestselling Merde novels, as well as Talk to the Snail, an indispensable guide to understanding the French. Research for Stephen's novels has taken him all over France and America. For 1000 Years of Annoying the French, he has also been breathing the chill air of ruined castles and deserted battlefields, leafing through dusty chronicles, brushing up the medieval French he studied at university and generally losing himself in the mists of history. He has now returned to present-day Paris, and is doing his best to live the entente cordiale. For more information about Stephen Clarke and his books, visit his website: www.stephenclarkewriter.com

很有趣啊！！！官方卖腐最是致命；您英全欧第一八婆（1.22:进度大约一半，有点看不下去了……主要原因是【有点】黑法（。）同类型的joke看多了有点审美疲劳（？
读了一个多月。。
不当成“历史书”来看的话，真的是本很有趣的书。有些地方我都爆笑出声了。切入点很好玩，再加上作者的笔触不论是从好的意思还是坏的意思上说都是很有特点的XD 英法之间那点混乱了几百年的“纠结”，拿语言当切入点来纠结就更好玩了>作为看热闹的，我完全不嫌事儿大，而实在是很想笑出声来，呵呵>
英國人真係正宗仆街仔黎....哈哈
讽刺挖苦梗贯穿整本书 这个知识量写出这种书来是不是有点可惜
Why is there such a love-hate relationship between the French and anyone arrogant enough to speak English as their first language?
The love is easy to explain: despite what we might say in public, we find each other irresistibly sexy. 一上来就笑死😂
挺有意思的
