Holmes Nigel; Wiedemann J. (cur.)
Crazy competitions. 100 weird and wonderful rituals from around the world
ill., ril. Dal lancio del ratto congelato all'usanza di sfilare ricoperti di agrifoglio, dalle lumache da corsa al trasporto della moglie, gli esseri umani hanno spesso dato sfogo alla propria fantasia ideando competizioni e rituali curiosi, selvaggi e talvolta semplicemente meravigliosi. Il graphic designer angloamericano Nigel Holmes ci mostra le usanze più eccentriche ed estreme, usando il suo senso dell'umorismo per accompagnarci in un sorprendente ed esilarante giro del mondo alla ricerca di gare e tradizioni incredibili, raccontate con grande ironia e divertenti infografiche. Scoprirete gli sbalorditivi eventi che diedero origine a competizioni come lo snorkeling nelle torbiere del Galles (si consiglia l'utilizzo della muta da sub), le sfide all'ultimo hot dog negli Stati uniti (vi diamo una dritta: saltate la colazione) o le gare di pianto dei bambini giapponesi. Da questa accozzaglia di tradizioni, talvolta povera in fair play ma sempre ricca di passioni, emerge un ritratto affezionato delle imprese e del senso dell'umorismo degli esseri umani, mentre Holmes dimostra, pagina dopo pagina, che quando si tratta di prove di coraggio e resistenza o di competizioni senza alcun senso l'umanità si trova unita negli splendidi e spesso esilaranti modi che ha di celebrare la cultura.
