Adam Kay

    12. červen 1980

    Adam Kay je držitelem ceny za komedii a spisovatel, který dříve mnoho let pracoval jako juniorský lékař. Jeho psaní s neochvějným humorem a upřímností nabízí nahlédnutí do intenzivního světa medicíny. Kay se nebojí zkoumat náročné a často dojemné aspekty své bývalé profese, přičemž vždy zanechává čtenáře zamyšlené i pobavené. Jeho jedinečný styl spojuje bezprostřední styl deníkových zápisků s vtipným pozorováním, což z něj činí nezapomenutelného vypravěče.

      The hilarious new picture book from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker. Meet Simon. Simon is the hero of this story. But unlike most heroes in most stories, Simon is a piece of snot. He lives with his family in the left nostril of a girl called Phoebe. Follow Simon on his hilarious and extremely slimy adventure as he learns about everything snot does to protect our bodies - a fascinating and uplifting journey of self-discovery about how brilliant and important he really is.

(Spoiler alert - it wasn't Zendaya.)In the fourth laugh-out-loud book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you'll learn all about the coolest, grossest and most ridiculous inventions in the world. You'll meet the queen who used the first ever toilet, learn why margarine used to be full of maggots and find out why Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates. Oh, and hopefully some slightly more useful facts as well...An A to Kay to Z of the random, ridiculous and revolutionary inventions that changed our lives.

      One hundred billion people have lived on earth. Unfortunately, this book would be too heavy if it talked about them all, so it's about ten of them.You'll meet Amelia Earhart, who flew across a huge ocean in a tiny plane, back in the days when planes were basically made out of old bits of wood (and worst of all, they didn't have in-flight movies) and Thomas Edison, who invented light bulbs and movie cameras (but only went to school until he was twelve). Plus a whole bunch more other brilliant people with brilliant brains who woke up one day and thought 'Oh, I've got an idea... !' and changed the world forever

      The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker.This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy. The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts about digestion. (It's fair to say that parents might learn a little bit too.)Praise for Kay's 'An enjoyably gross look at the human body.

      Tahle úžasně odporná učebnice biologie vás zaručeně bude bavit!Nechutné a neuvěřitelně vtipné dějiny lidského těla v podání autora bestselleru Anatomie od Adama.Kdysi dávno to byla fakt zábava, tedy pokud rádi nosíte kroužkovou zbroj nebo sekáte hlavy, jenže kdysi dávno měli taky takový MALINKATÝ PROBLÉMEČEK… doktoři tehdy vůbec netušili, jak funguje lidské tělo.Je na čase zjistit, proč si staří Egypťané mysleli, že mozek je jen nanicovatá nádivka lebky, která by se klidně dala vyhodit do popelnice, proč učitelé nutili své žáky kouřit cigarety, proč holiči svým zákazníkům uřezávali nohy a proč se dřív platilo za prdění. (Je mi to líto, ale dneska už vám za to nikdo nezaplatí.)Dostanete odpovědi na otázky, které by vás ani nenapadly, jako třeba:Proč pacienti kloktali čůrání?Jak doktor zachránil životy pomocí pračky, plechovky od fazolí a páru starých párků?Čemu se říkalo velký puch? (Ne, nebojte, doktoři tak neříkají vašemu zadku.)Jestli jste připravení, dejte si kolíček na nos (v těch dobách totiž byla všude spousta smradlavého hnisu), vezměte si holínky (také tam bylo hodně hovínek, co si budeme říkat), umyjte si ruce (protože oni si je tenkrát nemyli a jak dopadli!) a pojďte objevovat nechutné a příšerné dějiny lidského těla!
