Continuación en papel del proyecto web de un tipo búlgaro que vive en Valencia y al que se ocurrió poner sobre el mapa una de esas citas atribuidas falsamente a Churchill o Schopenhauer, que venía a decir algo como "Todos los países dicen cosas horribles de los demás países, y lo cierto es que todos tienen razón".
Así, los mapas de Tsvetkov nos descubren "El mundo según los EE.UU.", "Europa según los italianos" y dos docenas de atlas de los prejuicios y los estereotipos más. Acompañan a los ...more

Conoscere gli stereotipi degli altri per capire quanto siano stupidi i nostri.
Ecco perché si dovrebbe leggere questo libro (facendosi delle belle risate).

First of, apologies for this harsh review (in comparison to most others).
I liked the book, but felt that it was overall quite repetitive. It's like the author, after making a buzz with his first map, tried really hard to come up with new ideas in order to publish a book – of which I don't see the added value.
Nevertheless I liked the concept and the texts were interesting, hence my "it was ok" rating.

I've wanted it for such a long time and in the end that was it's downfall - a lot of it had lost it's relevance now and the jokes were meh. I enjoyed the accompanying texts a lot more than the maps which was definitely unexpected but a welcome surprise and lifted the rating I gave it.
Very funny and instructive, I had a good time reading it! It's also a great book to leave on your coffee table as a conversation starter
Almost worth reading. It is somewhat entertaining. You can find it online for free by Googling.
"My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
Funny and informative. It is a window for observing people of different nationalities.

“История — странное создание. Она способна ослепить нас нашим же отражением, когда мы бросаем взгляд в ее глубокие таинственные воды. Многие из нас утонули в них, прямо как мифологический Нарцисс, чья влюбленность в собственную красоту оказалась сильнее, чем инстинкт самосохранения.”
