Monti Python: autobiografija
This is not just a collective autobiography, but a celebration of the creative energy that made Monty Python a legend - for fans, a must-read reminiscent of "And now for something completely different..."
Enter the chaotic world of a genius British comedy group that has turned humor on its head! The Autobiography of Snape by Snape (2003) is a collective memoir by John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Erik Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin – featuring the "voice" of the late Graham Chapman through archival footage and testimonies. Chronologically interspersed with interviews, quotes and pictures, this 350-page treat traces the journey from childhood in post-war Britain to the BBC's Flying Circus (1969), where Cambridge and Oxford talent came together in skits such as The Dead Parrot or The Ministry of Stupid Walking.
Learn the secrets of the films: Holy Grail (1975) shot in rainy Scotland, where Chapman's drunkenness added spice, and Life of Brian (1979), a blasphemous hit written in Barbados, which caused global controversy. Read about the dynamics: enthusiastic collaborations, alcohol crises, subgroups and decline – "We were amazing because we stuck together," but fame comes at a price. Chapman's portrait dominates: a quiet genius whose silence hides depth.
