Before the movie, this is the novel that gave life to Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John, Hot Lips Houlihan, Frank Burns, Radar O'Reilly, and the rest of the gang that made the 4077th MASH like no other place in Korea or on earth.The doctors who worked in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (MASH) during the Korean War were well trained but, like most soldiers sent to fight a war, too young for the job. In the words of the author, "a few flipped their lids, but most of them just raised hell, in a variety of ways and degrees."For fans of the movie and the series alike, here is the original version of that perfectly corrupt football game, those martini-laced mornings and sexual escapades, and that unforgettable foray into assisted if incompleted suicide — all as funny and poignant now as they were before they became a part of America's culture and heart.
Hacia fines de los a?os veinte, Puerto Alegre, capital de la isla caribe?a de Arepa, se convierte en centro de una conpiraci?n fraguada entre m?rmoles, gobelinos y peleas de gallos, al ritmo de congas, bodolques, atabales y rungas. Se trata de matar a un viejo le?n, cuando se dispone a reelegirse por quinta vez jug?ndose el As de proponer la creaci?n de la presidencia vitalicia. Las circunstancias, sin embargo, obligan al partido Moderado y al promisorio junior arepano Pepe Cussirat, elegido como candidato oposicionista, a cambiar de planes. Tras varios intentos frustrados de magnicidio, resulta que el revuelo no ha sido en vano, como se descubre en el inesperado desenlace de esta novela.Parodia de una cualquiera de las dictaduras que han asolado los pa?ses de Latinoam?rica, destaca como la ?nica comedia dentro de lo que es ya un subg?nero de la novel?stica hispanoamericana.
From shoot-outs at funerals to dead men screaming and runaway corpses, undertakers have plenty of unusual stories to tell—and a special way of telling them.In this macabre and moving compilation, funeral directors across the country share their most embarrassing, jaw-dropping, irreverent, and deeply poignant stories about life at death’s door. Discover what scares them and what moves them to tears. Learn about rookie mistakes and why death sometimes calls for duct tape.Enjoy tales of the dearly departed spending eternity naked from the waist down and getting bottled and corked—in a wine bottle. And then meet their families—the weepers, the punchers, the stolidly dignified, and the ones who deliver their dead mother in a pickup truck.If there’s one thing undertakers know, it’s that death drives people crazy. These are the best “bodies of work” from America’s darkest profession.Praise for

« La plupart des gens ont la frime de leur turbin. Par exemple, tous les croque-morts sont de joyeux lurons, un peu p?lots et sentant le d?c?s ; tous les bistroquets sont des gars placides et ventrus ; toutes les repasseuses des souris tristes et molles, et toutes les bonniches d’h?tel de pauvres greluses ravag?es ayant la couleur des bidets qu’elles passent leur garce de vie ? ramoner. »San-Antonio
