«Ocaso y caída de prácticamente todo el mundo» is the satirical essay by Will Cuppy, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The book offers a journey through universal history via portraits of great figures, from ancient Egypt to the conquest of America. With irony and skepticism, Will Cuppy dismantles the heroic image of figures such as Pericles, Charlemagne, or Louis XIV, exposing their contradictions and human weaknesses.
Published in 2001 in the Atalaya collection, number 78. Translated by Carme Camps, with illustrations by William Steig; original title: The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody.
For readers who want to approach universal history from a critical and humorous perspective, with irreverent portraits of famous figures.
