Description

文明的進步,來自於吃喝嫖「毒」! __________________________ 亞馬遜書店4.5顆星推薦,一部讓你笑到捨不得把書闔上的文明史 __________________________ + 在帳篷裡燒大麻+ + 用龍舌蘭酒杯喝菸草尿+ + 空腹跑半馬後立刻吞下奧羅米亞流咖啡球+ + 喝蠑螈泡白蘭地+ + 探索情趣玩具的秘密+ 這到底是自殺還是在開玩笑? 都不是!這是重現人類文明進展的歷程。 讓我們從狩獵採集演化成現代智人的,或許是「槍砲、病菌與鋼鐵」,但讓人類文明得以突飛猛進的,卻是「酒精、性愛跟迷幻藥」。搞笑網站Cracked.com主編羅伯‧埃文斯,發揮他出名的「死纏爛打」研究精神,揭露了一件件在世人眼中看似墮落至極的事是如何開啟文明之門。「唬爛」始於中世紀,而且跟攻擊他人有關;「公娼」始於古希臘,是為了宗教募款;「酒醉」讓擁有地表上最大帝國的亞歷山大大帝,失去征服印度的機會;「迷幻藥」讓哲學家和科學家完成輝煌成就的幕後推手,更多你想像不到的墮落至極的行為,在文明演進上都是缺一不可的大事。 本書除了用文字記載史實外,埃文斯也提供不少模仿古人瘋狂行徑的小撇步,更重現了這些墮落的事是如何享受(或折磨)人的。只要按照他的筆記,你也可以在家嘗試: • 學古希臘哲人藉迷幻藥暢遊天堂 • 學印度神享用蘇摩酒 • 開一場石器時代的銳舞趴踢 • 學中美洲原住民用古鼻煙管抽菸草 ……等 (以上行為請斟酌嘗試,若有遊走法律邊緣或危害健康的疑慮,後果請自行負責!) 請放心,做完這些的埃文斯還活著。 埃文斯用他的墮落實驗,致敬那些歷史上瘋狂的人類先祖,若沒有他們勇敢「誤入岐途」,就沒有現在的人類文明。想了解那些正史不能也不敢談的墮落史,就一定不能錯過本書!
