Recenzii
Fascinating ... Summerscale uses the same talent for elaborating on psychological tics that made her non-fiction thriller The Suspicions Of Mr. Whicher a top bestseller
This fascinating compendium traces phobias and manias through their rich social, cultural and medical history
An endlessly intriguing book
Magnificent
Thought-provoking, eloquent and entertaining
Endlessly fascinating. It's a tantalising glimpse into the labyrinth of the human unconscious
Amusing and oddly unsettling
Fascinating ... Phobias and manias create a magical space between us and the world
We are all, in some way or other, plagued by fears and desires beyond our control ... Fascinating, beautifully written and thoroughly researched
Thought-provoking and such fun
A fascinating book
A new book from Summerscale is always a treat. She does vast amounts of research, and then manages to let go of it, and take flight in prose that is both forensic and conversational ... Her sub-title - 'A History of the World in 99 Obsessions' - might echo Neil MacGregor, but this reads more like a book by Oliver Sacks, with dashes of Roald Dahl
An intriguing guide to human fixations
Fascinating... Exquisitely detailed and consistently insightful, this is an entertaining guide to humanity's compulsions
99 hard-to-stop-reading histories ... from the familiar (homophobia) to surprising fears of eggs, hair, silence and everything (pantophobia)
Informative, witty, and unique ... Summerscale, author of The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher and other well-regarded books, lists 99 fears and compulsions, and the result is a peculiarly engaging book
