Philomena Cunk is a journalist and thinker who has presented TV shows on everything from time and feminism to Shakespeare and Jesus. She asks the big questions other journalists are afraid to, like ‘How important are the words in Shakespeare’s plays?’ and ‘Why do we cry when it’s the onions getting hurt?’ She is the author of Cunk on Everything.
What is this book about?
Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Evolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War!
All of this (except trumpets) and more is covered in this definitive, illustrated, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the twenty-first century’s leading historian, philosopher and thought-thinker, Philomena Cunk.
Focusing on the inventions, art and brainboxes that made the modern world the unbearable place it is today, The World According to Cunk is the history book to end all history books. From the birth of the first baby caveman to the invention of the poo emoji. Some say history is written by the Victors. But they’re wrong – it’s written by the Philomenas. Well, a Philomena. The one on the cover. Yes, her, from TikTok.
