Synopsis
The world of Monty Python, its ear finely tuned to the absurd, was that rare beast: absolute originality. This tribute to the inspired collective genius of John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, and the late Graham Chapman, is based on personal reminiscences and exclusive interviews with each of them. It recounts, with many photos and illustrations from the archives, their pre-Python lives, their meeting, its impact, and its aftermath. A faithful and entertaining chronicle of the people and events who engendered a revolution in comedy. George Perry is an author, journalist, fellow Oxbridge graduate, and expert on all matters Python.

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback First Edition Since the first edition of Monty Python's Flying Circus was transmitted on 5th October, 1969, the name of Python has seared itself into the public consciousness in a way unrivalled by any other group of twentieth century humourists. This book, writted by an acclaimed historian of the British cinema, who is also a friend and contemporary of the Pythons, closely examines the enormours creative output from this unique band of comedians. Based on interviews with the Pythons and others associated with them, the author profiles each of the team in depth for the first time - John Cleese, Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam - describing their backgrounds, their education, and individual creative achievements. Copiously illustrated with stills and memorabilia, the book provides as objective and authoritative an account as possible of The Life of Python, and manages to avoid the twin pitfalls of over-analytical pseudery or a flippancy that could only trivialise the remarkable international achievements of these six extraordinarily talented individuals. Slight shelfwear to D/J(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
