About this listen

Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Evolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War!

All of this (except trumpets) and more is covered in this definitive, illustrated, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the twenty-first century's leading historian, philosopher and thought-thinker, 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. From the birth of the first baby caveman to the invention of the poo emoji. Some say history is written by the Victors. But they're wrong - it's written by the Philomenas. Well, a Philomena. The one on the cover. Yes, her, from TikTok

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An absolutely brilliant “laugh out loud” book. I bought the physical copy and started reading it but quickly switched to the audio because it’s even better to hear Cunk herself read it out loud.

Cunk is a genius!

I had been looking forward to starting my listening journey with Cunk and was not disappointed. I was recovering from jaw surgery and needed a good laugh. Painful the more I laughed but so worth it! Thank you!
