Last Exit

Last Exodus – The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Death by Michael Largo Ten years of information gathering and painstaking research focused on death, humanity's greatest fear and question mark. Unexpected causes of death, deaths that went down in history painted in a huge range of colors, from the tragic to the comic-tragic... after all, death certificates prove that there are over three thousand ways to die! The book "Last Exodus - Illustrated Encyclopedia of Death" includes everything that one would like to know about death, but taboos and superstitions prevent him from asking: strange ways of burial, famous last words, stories of people known and unknown, whose last exit from life was anything but banal, and hundreds of medical illustrations in one, despite its subject matter, entertaining book. This strange and funny encyclopedia won the 2006 Bram Stoker non-fiction award.
