About this listen

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 didn’t know what to expect here, but I was totally delighted by her humor in this audiobook! I love the way she mispronounces historical names to add to her skits! Such a delightful spin on world history! If you want to giggle for a few hours, grab this and enjoy!

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
