PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Frank George (Author)
Urban Legends: True Stories from Around the World explores the most extraordinary, bizarre, and fascinating events in human history-stories that are often stranger than fiction. From uncontrollable laughter epidemics in African villages to ingenious military deceptions in World War II, from industrial disasters that flooded streets with beer or molasses to the creative traditions of dancing coffins in Ghana, each chapter presents a verified, nonfictional account of events that have captured imaginations for generations.
This book takes readers on a journey through real urban legends, revealing the human ingenuity, folly, and resilience behind each tale. Meticulously researched and drawn from historical records, eyewitness accounts, newspapers, and official documents, every story is fully factual, yet astonishing enough to feel legendary.
