About the Book

Nadie se había atrevido a escribir la historia de este puto mundo con el célebre y corrosivo humor de Daniel Samper Pizano, que hace reír pero deja un eco de inquietud.

Ahora está aquí desde el Big Bang hasta un ominoso anticipo de lo que nos espera. ¿Dónde empieza el chiste y dónde termina la realidad? Ni él mismo lo sabe.

Estos son algunos de los apuntes de este tratado universal:

- Todo empezó con una sola célula hace 5.000 millones de años, y miren cómo estamos
- Los egipcios han vivido siempre en Egipto, cosa meritoria si consideramos las diarreas que produce el agua de sus grifos.
- Los lugares que hoy atacan los drones de Estados Unidos ya los había atacado a caballo Alejandro Magno.
- Desde Da Vinci, al hombre que ejerce varios oficios se lo llama "renacentista" o "padre de familia de clase media".
- Lo que liquidó la Revolución francesa fue la manía de bautizar los meses con nombres raros que nadie pudo aprender.
- Darwin sostuvo que los hombres descienden de los monos, y sin embargo los monos no protestaron.
- El capital es un libro clave, si bien pocos de quienes lo citan lo han leído y pocos de quienes lo han leído lo entendieron.
- En 1975 pasaron a mejor vida el dictador Franco y España.
- Cuando se agote la energía del sol brotará en el espacio un espectáculo maravilloso, pero no quedará nadie para disfrutarlo


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A Brief History of the Damn World.

Nobody had dared to write the history of this damn world with the famous and caustic humor of Daniel Samper Pizano, which makes you laugh but also leaves you feeling slightly uneasy. Now it is here: from the Big Bang to an ominous prediction of what awaits us. Where does the joke begin and where does reality end? Not even he knows for sure. These are some notes from this universal treatise:

- Everything began with one single cell more than five billion years ago, and look at the condition we're in.
- The Egyptians have always lived in Egypt, which is quite a feat considering the diarrhea that their tap water produces.
- The places that American drones are now attacking were once attacked by Alexander the Great on horseback.
- Since da Vinci, a man who dabbles in many trades is called a "Renaissance Man", or "Middle-class Dad".
- What finished off the French Revolution was a fixation on calling the months bizarre names that nobody could remember.
- Darwin maintained that men are descended from apes, but yet the apes didn't complain about that.
- Capital is a key book, although most people who cite it haven't read it, and most people who have read it didn't understand it.
- In 1975, both Franco and Spain went on to a better place.
- When the energy of the sun burns out, there will be the most amazing spectacle in space, but there won't be anyone around to enjoy it.

About the Author: No es una coincidencia que Daniel Samper Pizano haya nacido el mismo año en que estalló la primera bomba atómica, ni que lo hubiera hecho en Bogotá, la ciudad donde se frustró en 1818 un atentado contra Simón Bolívar. Y es que a este escritor y periodista, cuya cabeza recuerda la de Aristóteles (por fuera), parecen perseguirlo las efemérides históricas. En efecto, en noviembre de 1963, mientras él presentaba examen final de Derecho Tributario, moría asesinado en Estados Unidos el presidente John F. Kennedy. Fue un doble derramamiento de sangre. Samper se graduó como abogado el año en que se cumplieron 472 del descubrimiento de América y lo sorprendió la llegada del hombre a la Luna cuando culminaba estudios de Periodismo en Estados Unidos. Empezó su labor profesional como reportero simultáneamente con la caída de Nikita Kruschev en la Unión Soviética y dejó de hacerlo al tiempo que el planeta conmemoraba un siglo de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Como si fuera poco, el día que entregó los originales del libro que usted tiene entre manos coincidió con la fecha de la muerte de Alejandro Magno, fallecido exactamente 2.338 años antes. Irresponsable e irrespetuoso, Breve historia de este puto mundo es el tercer tratado en que el autor atenta con sus apuntes supuestamente graciosos contra el rigor científico que debe acompañar a esta clase de libros para que contribuyan a la formación de los jóvenes. Por culpa de estos abusos, los jóvenes son ahora más entusiastas lectores. Anteriormente se había burlado de la Biblia (Si Eva hubiera sido Adán o Risas en el infierno) y de la sagrada historia nacional (Lecciones de histEria de Colombia). No es miembro de la Academia Colombiana de Historia, ni lo será nunca. Sí lo es de la Academia Colombiana de la Lengua, pero se espera que, por dignidad elemental, lo expulsen de ella.
