Overview

"Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven't said enough," said Karl Marx, drawing a last cantankerous breath. Nonetheless, whether eloquently rehearsed, enigmatic or profound, this sometimes funny, sometimes moving record of parting shots shows the famous and infamous from every age greeting their end in defiantly inimitable style. Over 2000 closing speeches from kings and queens, doctors and lawyers, poets, philosophers and pop stars, priests, saints and villains and murderers, martyrs and movie stars are collected in this richly quotable volume. With an eye fixed firmly on posterity, Famous Last Words provides not only a riveting read, but an eminently practical if ghoulish guide to the art of dying well."Compulsive ... entertaining, so enjoyable." --Sunday Express
