Illus. in full color. "Mr. Piggott and his sons are a male chauvinist lot who, outside of yelling for their dinner, don't exercise themselves much around the house. When Mrs. Piggott finally tires of the endless chores that sandwich her workday, she leaves the menfolk on their own, with a note saying, 'You are pigs.' With the cooking and housework untended, they soon turn genuinely porcine, a transformation Browne foreshadows with pig faces on the wallpaper, vases, fireplace, phone. As in most of Browne's art, there is more than a touch of irony and visual humor here. Fun to read aloud."--Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.

Politická korektnost a smrt veřejné rozpravy v moderní Británii
Známý britský novinář Anthony Browne se ve svém eseji zabývá jedním z klíčových fenoménů současného veřejného života – politickou korektností. Na rozdíl od ostatních textů, které se k politické korektnosti staví kriticky, však neulpívá na okrajových jevech, jakými jsou leckdy komicky neústrojná „korektní“ pojmenování. Politickou korektnost chápe jako ideologii, jež výrazně formuje nejen vyjadřování, ale hlavně myšlení a postoje jednotlivců i skupin, zvláště těch mediálně a politicky aktivních. Kde se vzala ideová struktura, v jejímž jménu je moderní západní člověk ochoten tolerovat cenzuru a autocenzuru? Jaké jsou její kořeny? A komu a čemu v konečném důsledku slouží? To jsou jen některé z velmi provokativních otázek, jež si autor v této knize pokládá.

Tiež sa vám zdá, že tí politici a novinári v posledných rokoch akosi tárajú? Čo je za tým? Prečo hovoria tak ako hovoria? Počuli ste už o sile tzv. politickej korektnosti, ktorá ovládla politiku, média, univerzity i celý verejný život? Chápete jej nebezpečenstvo? Chápete, že za väčšinu súčasných problémov, ktorým čelí západná spoločnosť, spôsobila práve táto „politická korektnosť“? Ako a kde vznikla? Aké sú jej metódy? Dá sa voči politickej korektnosti vôbec bojovať, alebo je tento zápas márny a celá naša civilizácia je už úplne stratená?
