Extrait: Monty Python est le nom d'une troupe de comiques britanniques rendue celebre initialement grace a sa premiere creation, la serie televisee Monty Python's Flying Circus dont la diffusion debuta a la BBC le 5 octobre 1969 et qui se poursuivit durant 45 episodes jusqu'au 5 decembre 1974. Il etait compose de six membres nommes Graham Chapman (ne le 8 janvier 1941 - decede le 4 octobre 1989 des suites d'un cancer), John Cleese (ne le 27 octobre 1939), Eric Idle (ne le 29 mars 1943), Michael Palin (ne le 5 mai 1943), Terry Jones (ne le 1 fevrier 1942) et Terry Gilliam (ne le 22 novembre 1940). Tous les membres du groupe sont anglais, sauf Terry Gilliam qui vient des Etats-Unis, et Terry Jones, d'origine galloise. L'humour du groupe prend ses racines dans le burlesque absurde de l'emission d'avant-guerre ITMA (It's that Man Again !) sur la BBC ainsi que sur les Goons (emission d'humour radiophonique de Peter Sellers et Spike Milligan). Inspiree par leurs premieres annees de theatre, leur uvre fondatrice (le Flying Circus) remet en cause tous les principes des emissions televisees. Leur influence dans le domaine comique est comparee a celle des Beatles dans la musique. Elle depasse largement les frontieres du Royaume-Uni et du monde anglo-saxon.

En 1971, ils rejouent une selection de leurs sketches pour le long-metrage La Premiere Folie des Monty Python (And Now for Something...

About the author

Livres Groupe is a publisher of books whose content comes exclusively from Wikipedia articles in French. The publisher is the French branch of the American publisher Books LLC which publishes books consisting of Wikipedia articles in English. The publisher Livres Groupe was mainly active in 2010 (year of its launch) where the house published more than 60,000 books in just a few months, then became discreet by stopping completely the edition of new books from 2013.

Virulent criticisms were made against the publishing house Livres Books, which sold for more than 10 euros (or up to almost 50 euros) books whose contents could be freely available via the Internet. Although the publishing house did nothing illegal (the content of the original articles was free and the pseudonyms of their authors were cited), there was no indication at first sight that the books were just a compilation of Wikipedia articles, which could mislead buyers on online sales sites. The editor believed meanwhile that the books were "bought by people who prefer to read on paper than on a screen," and defended misleading the consumer.

Starting in mid-2010, books published by Livres Groupe flooded online sales sites such as Amazon or PriceMinister , on which a "Livres Groupe" search resulted in more than 60,000 results. Amazon and PriceMinister have subsequently responded to this problem by removing from their search engine all books published by this controversial publisher.
