Forget everything you have ever read or were taught in school.

Recently discovered in the attic of a 15th-century house in Lower Silesia, this manuscript was bought at auction by the best-selling horror writer Shaun Hutson. During translation from the original Latin into English, Hutson uncovered the identity of the author: none other than... Attila the Hun. Like Nostradamus, Attila the Hun was able to foresee the advent of modern life and technology as we know it today.

Covering everything from wars and nature to washing machines and spelling, here is the alternative history of the world!

Did you know that The Louvre in Paris was originally intended to be a small boulangerie
and coffee shop? Or that the lawnmower, invented by Francisco de Flymo in 1428, is still the chief form of transport in Venice today? Or, even more incredibly, that the telephone was the brainchild of Sir Alex Higgins who, on making the first call, uttered the famous words, "Still engaged… I don't fucking believe it!"?

Here is a book full of unbelievably fascinating snippets of information you can only marvel at. After reading it, you'll never be lost for a conversation starter again.
