How to Be a Canadian Йен Фергюсон, Уилл Фергюсон
ISBN: 1550548913 Год издания: 2003 Язык: Английский It isn’t always easy being Canadian, according to Will Ferguson, but it can be a lot of fun. Asked to write a follow-up to his runaway bestseller Why I Hate Canadians, Ferguson, who’s Canadian himself, recruited his brother Ian — comedy writer and executive producer of the Canadian series Sin City and a Canadian too — to create this ultimate guide to the country's cultural quirks. The result is a hilarious inside look at that unique species, the Canadian, and their thoughts on such diverse subjects as beer, sex, dating rituals, sports, politics, religion, social rules — and, of course, their trademark death-defying search for the middle of any road. -

Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw: Travels in Search of Canada Уилл Фергюсон
ISBN: 184195652X Год издания: 2005 Язык: Английский Canada's number one humorist, routinely compared to our own Bill Bryson, has written a funny, idiosyncratic, and warmly humane book full of sly observations and witty stories culled from his travels among the people and places of our neighbors up north.
Will Ferguson spent the past three years crisscrossing Canada. In a helicopter above the barren lands of the subarctic, in a canoe with his four-year-old son, aboard seaplanes, and along the Underground Railroad, Will's travels have taken him from Cape Spear on the coast of Newfoundland to the sun-dappled streets of old Victoria.
Funny, poignant, and insightful, Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw is a provocative tribute to a land that is akin to a series of loosely connected outposts peopled with some of the most interesting folks in the world. -
Beyond Belfast: A 560 Mile Journey Across Northern Ireland On Sore Feet Уилл Фергюсон
ISBN: 0670069159 Год издания: 2009 Язык: Английский Offbeat, charming, and filled with humour and insight, Beyond Belfast is the story of one man’s misguided attempt at walking the Ulster Way, “the longest waymarked trail in the British Isles.” It’s a journey that takes Will Ferguson through the small towns and half-forgotten villages of Northern Ireland, along rugged coastlines and across barren moorland heights, past crumbling castles and patchwork farms.
From IRA pubs to Protestant marches, from bandits and bad weather to banshees and blood sausage, he wades into the thick of things, providing an affectionate and heartfelt look at one of the most misunderstood corners of the world. As the grandson of a Belfast orphan, Will also peels back the myths and realities of his own family history—a mysterious photograph, rumours of a lost inheritance. The truth, when it comes, is both surprising and funny … -
Счастье™ Уилл Фергюсон
ISBN: 5-699-06789-2 Год издания: 2004 Издательство: Эксмо Язык: Русский Эта книга - о конце света, поэтому в ней говорится о диетических поваренных книгах, гуру самосовершенствования, ползающих в канализации преступниках, переутомленных редакторах, экономическом кризисе США и массовом возделывании полей люцерны. Кажется, один персонаж по ходу сюжета теряет палец. Это история Апокалипсиса Приятных Дней. Она повествует о смертельной чуме человеческого счастья, эпидемии теплых пушистых объятий и таинственном трейлере на самом краю пустыни. Все остальное в книге - вранье. Просто помните, что Счастье™ близко - очень близко. Не успеете и глазом моргнуть. "Счастье™" Уилла Фергюсона - обязательное чтение для тех…

Hokkaido Highway Blues: Hitchhiking Japan Уилл Фергюсон
ISBN: 978-1841952888 Год издания: 2003 Издательство: Canongate Books Язык: Английский It had never been done before. Not in 4000 years of Japanese recorded history had anyone followed the Cherry Blossom Front from one end of the country to the other. Nor had anyone hitchhiked the length of Japan. But, heady on sakura and sake, Will Ferguson bet he could do both.
The resulting travelogue is one of the funniest and most illuminating books ever written about Japan. And, as Ferguson learns, it illustrates that to travel is better than to arrive. -
