O ovoj e-knjizi
Self-published in France, and a subsequent bestseller, the hilarious story of a year in the life of a young Englishman abroad.
Paul West, a young Englishman, arrives in Paris to start a new job - and finds out what the French are really like.
They do eat a lot of cheese, some of which smells like pigs' droppings. They don't wash their armpits with garlic soap. Going on strike really is the second national participation sport after pétanque. And, yes, they do use suppositories.
In his first novel, Stephen Clarke gives a laugh-out-loud account of the pleasures and perils of being a Brit in France. Less quaint than A Year in Provence, less chocolatey than Chocolat, A Year in the Merde will tell you how to get served by the grumpiest Parisian waiter; how to make perfect vinaigrette every time; how to make amour - not war; and how not to buy a house in the French countryside.

O autoru
Stephen Clarke is a British journalist who lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not writing.
His first novel, A Year in the Merde, became a word-of-mouth hit in 2004. Since then he has published more bestselling Merde novels, and a range of non-fiction work including Talk to the Snail, an indispensable guide to understanding the French, a history book, 1000 Years of Annoying the French, which was a Sunday Times bestseller, and Dirty Bertie, a biography of King Edward VII's adventures in France.
While researching Paris Revealed, an insider’s guide to Paris, his 'non-writing' time was spent interrogating Parisians about their bizarre habits, and revisiting his favourite places in the city.
