50 Reasons to Hate the French
You always knew it was true but you couldn't be sure.
You always guessed it was something like this but never dared ask.
Now, for the first time ever, you can read the truth about our friends and cousins across the Channel, the French.
There's never been a book like it before. Fifty exhaustively researched, wittily written articles on France and Frenchness. It's all in here, from personal hygiene to French pop to Napoleon's shortcomings to Europe's tallest suicide magnet, the Eiffel Tower.
Want to know France's ten greatest military defeats? They're listed inside.
Want to know just how safe the Citroen 2CV is?
Inside.
Want to understand how Jean Paul Sartre used existentialism to prove that bathing was unnecessary?
Inside.
And every fact, quote and statistic inside it is absolutely true - or at least we found it somewhere relatively trustworthy.
Judge for yourself.
"50 REASONS TO HATE THE FRENCH" is everything you'll ever need to know - and be appalled to learn - about France.
What the critics are saying
“I must confess I was tickled, amazed and shocked by Eden and Clarke's missive. They had better aim their furious invective at the UK for another best seller; before some Frenchie does (not as well, of course)…”
“Deliciously irreverent and provocative… Eden and Clarke skewer Gallic corruption, pretentiousness and self-regard, and slay the sacred cows of French life and culture, from suppository medicines to Sartre to the 2CV. Immensely valuable as a source of obscure information - such as how many glissandes ("slip-ups") requiring hospitalisation are caused each year in Paris by canine merde - their book is also riotously amusing… 50 Reasons to Hate the French?… Why so few?!? ”
