Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain: Former world empires humiliated, humbled, and gone to sod in the 21st century. "PIGS is a media-coined term referring to the European Union's economically weakest countries. Carlos Spottorno's 'The Pigs' is a tragicomic vision of these countries' stereotypes, utilizing the format of the influential magazine, The Economist. Coined by neoconservatives, the term PIGS is used to reference their financial and social plight. The glaring absence of 'beauty' stands out. This omission is Spottorno's clever way of questioning the authenticity of the stereotype and its origin" (Publisher's blurb). That's because The Pigs also happen to be four of the most beautiful countries in the world ever. Spottorno ends, evocatively, with a photograph of real pigs. An absolute "must-have" title for Carlos Spottorno collectors.A rare signed copy. Lavishly illustrated with color plates.
