Napoleón, John Lennon, JFK, Churchill… uno suele sentirse pequeño al lado de los grandes personajes históricos. Tranquilos, como decía Stefan Zweig en ‘Momentos estelares de los angeles Humanidad’: “Tienen que pasar millones de horas inútiles antes de que se produzca un momento verdaderamente histórico, un momento estelar de l. a. humanidad”. Esos grandes personajes también vivieron momentos menos afortunados, patéticos… humanos. Este libro trata de esos momentos poco estelares, de cómo podrían haber cambiado l. a. historia. Los Aliados no consiguieron feminizar a Hitler pese a poner en marcha un plan para inyectar estrógenos en su comida… ¿y si lo hubieran conseguido? Beethoven jamás supo que su sordera y su mal genio se debían al plomo que contenía el vino que bebía… ¿si lo hubiera descubierto habría denunciado a esos vendedores de vino? Las tropas del common Custer sufrieron una derrota histórica contra los indios nativos americanos en Little monstrous Horn porque llegaron allí borrachos… ¿y si hubieran estado en igualdad de condiciones? ¿Y si los indios también hubieran estado borrachos?
En este libro encontrarán estos y otros momentos poco estelares reales, ilustrados con unos bellísimos dibujos de Gallego y seguidos de un ejercicio de historia-ficción, extirpados de l. a. mente calenturienta de humor de Toni Mata.
