Kako biti siromašan

George Mikes

Humorist Georges Mikes, of Hungarian origin, spent part of his life in London. In this book, he selflessly teaches us how to stay poor.

In a sharp, witty, satirical, ironic and entertaining way, he teaches us the basic rules of poverty, warns us about tendencies that could drag us into unexpected wealth. In addition, he shows us how to carry our poverty with elegance. Perhaps because of this, some stubborn rich person could become a happy poor person? Would you agree with the author that it is much more dignified to worry about the money you don't have, than about the money you do have? We read about this in short stories, which are told in two parts: personal poverty and public poverty.
