Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Revolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War! All of this (except trumpets) and more, is covered in this definitive, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the 21st Century's leading historian, philosopher and thinkerer Philomena Cunk.

Focusing on the inventions, art, and brainboxes that made the modern world the unbearable place it is today, The World According to Cunk is the history book to end all history books: more unputdownable than Andrew Marr's History Of The World, less unpickupable than Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens, and noticeably less in ancient Greek than Herodotus' Histories.

Philomena Cunk says: "About the world, written on the world, and available at all the world's remaining bookshops, The World According to Cunk is the definitive history of the world. There will never need be another history book. Unless something major happens. Even then they'll probably just put something up on TikTok about it. A word of warning: please don't buy it if you're expecting anything about trumpets in it. You will only be disappointed."

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I had to stop and laugh nearly every five minutes of this book. If you’ve ever enjoyed Cunk’s shows, this book is for you.

Serious? No. Seriously funny? YES

I’ve love Philomena Cunk for years now. When I found out there was a book. I immediately went to Audible hoping it was available and Philomena read it. You’ll laugh from the intro on. Great book

This was so clever and hilarious that I had to re-listen to sentences and sections to catch all of Philomena’s brilliance. This may have been the funniest book I’ve ever read. 10 stars, please.

Brilliantly hilarious; I laughed out loud throughout

Philomena Cunk is my favorite! She presents history in a way that makes me laugh, and want to learn more history. More accurate history. I have listened to this twice, and I laughed both times. If you have heard or seen her before, you know what to expect. If you haven't, you don't know what you're missing. It may not be for everyone, but if you like to laugh and learn (a bit), you'll probably like this.

can't get enough Cunk!

Philomena Cunk is a perfect comedic genius. I will fight anyone who disagrees with me. I have to write fifteen words 🤷🏼‍♂️

Was good up until the last chapter discussing the 2024 US presidential elections. I feel the book could have been concluded without any comments on Trump and Biden. Leave the boot before any presidential conventions and use that as an opener for the next histories to be discovered and written. Easy listen,

Humor and the author’s use of language, clever and entertaining.
