History isn't what happened. History is just what historians tell us. From the Titanic to the
Amazon the raft of the Medusa to an ecclesiastical court in medieval France where a bizarre
case is about to begin A History of the World in 10¿ Chapters presents a surprising
subversive fictional history of earth told from several kaleidoscopic perspectives. Ambitious
yet accessible witty and playfully serious this is no ordinary history but something
stranger: a challenge and a delight for the reader's imagination. 'Funny ironic erudite
surprising and not afraid to take a dive overboard into the depths of sorrow and loss' Nadime
Gordimer
