«Les Moustiques n'aiment pas les applaudissements» is a book of aphorisms and humor by Auguste Derrière, in hardcover from Le Castor Astral (160 pp. in French).
The volume brings together more than 450 maxims, jokes, aphorisms and advertisements created by Auguste Derrière, a master of the absurd and wordplay. Among his witticisms are «Nul n'est prophète à Pompéi» and «On ne dit pas "Javellisé" mais "J'ai lu"», along with imaginary ads for products such as Rachid oil or Bidau beds.
French edition with a foreword by Albert Muddah. Auguste Derrière, born in 1892, revolutionized the advertising slogan with his absurd humor; this edition rescues his work from oblivion.
Intended for readers with intermediate-to-advanced French who enjoy wordplay, absurd humor and advertising quips.
