Our world is full of smart books, from an early age we constantly learn something, we are always learning something. But the wisdom of Socrates, who knew that he knew nothing, is more relevant today than ever. Many facts that we consider indisputable are in fact outright fiction, and much knowledge is erroneous. We live in a world of widespread ignorance and general misconceptions, but we are ashamed to admit it. Unlike Stephen Fry and his friends, with inimitable humor they talk about the greatest misconceptions that most people consider the absolute truth. Stephen Fry once again confirms his reputation as a one-man orchestra. This time he sheds light on well-known “facts.” “The Book of General Errors” is useful reading in many respects: firstly, pleasure from it is guaranteed, and secondly, after it our ignorance will decrease at least a little.
