The World According to Cunk: An Illustrated History of All World Events Ever, Space Permitting

The World According to Cunk is a hilariously unconventional, illustrated history of everything—from Romans and madrigals to the Oranges of the First World War—crafted by the twenty-first century’s self-proclaimed leading historian, philosopher, and thought-thinker, Philomena Cunk. With her signature deadpan wit, Cunk explores the inventions, art, and “brainboxes” that shaped the modern world into the unbearable place it is today, covering everything from the first baby caveman to the invention of the poo emoji. This definitive, easy-clean guide turns traditional history on its head, proving that while some say history is written by the victors, it’s actually written by the Philomenas. Well, one Philomena. The one on the cover. Yes, her—from TikTok.
