The first book in twenty-five years from “one of our great comic minds” (The Washington Post) features Seinfeld’s best work across five decades in comedy. Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.” For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this “trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners” (Associated Press), you will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.

"Some people say that the stress of the "real world" is what stops the laughter from coming. When you grow up there are bills to pay. You''ve got to work a nine-to-five. You''ve got relationship troubles. But come on people, you don''t think a kid deals with stuff to? There''s a bully on the playground, a math test the next day. Their teeth are falling out of their heads. Parents are yelling at ''em to eat their broccoli. Kids have their own problems, but they still find a way to laugh their pint-sized behinds off. So why can''t the adults have some fun? Does it all have to be so darned serious? Why can''t we find the laughter in our lives? I BELIEVE WE CAN"--P. [4] of cover.

Primeiro livro em 25 anos do autor e protagonista de uma das séries de comédia mais famosas de sempre. As melhores piadas de Jerry Seinfeld em 45 anos de carreira. O primeiro livro de Jerry Seinfeld em 25 anos! As melhores piadas de um dos maiores comediantes do nosso tempo. Jerry Seinfeld era ainda estudante e tinha apenas 21 anos quando fez a sua primeira apresentação no lendário clube noturno nova-iorquino Catch a Rising Star, no outono de 1975. Desde então, escreveu sempre o seu próprio material, tendo guardado tudo. «Sempre que me ocorria alguma coisa engraçada, fosse no palco, numa conversa ou no grande bloco de notas amarelo que era a minha tela favorita, guardava tudo numa daquelas pastas antigas de fole», escreve Seinfeld. «É por isso que ainda tenho tudo o que pensei que valeria a pena guardar ao longo de 45 anos.» Para este livro, Seinfeld selecionou o seu material preferido e organizou-o por décadas. São páginas e páginas carregadas de um humor hilariante e de observações brilhantes, oferecendo aos leitores a possibilidade de testemunharem a evolução de um dos grandes comediantes da nossa era, ganhando assim uma nova perceção sobre a emocionante mas implacável arte da escrita de comédia stand-up. «O sítio em que mais gosto de trabalhar é a minha mente. Para tentar tocar a mente dos outros.»

När jag ser tillbaka gläds jag över att jag lyckades. Jag är glad att jag har tjänat pengar. Men ärligt talat, jag svär på att det är för skrattens skull jag har hållit på – sedan dag ett, dag två och alla andra dagar, ända fram till idag. Jag går fortfarande ut på klubbarna varje vecka. Älskar fortfarande att arbeta på mitt material. Och uppskattar varje gig jag får göra. Första gången Jerry Seinfeld klev upp på en ståuppscen var år 1975. Sedan dess har han sparat vartenda skämt han skrivit, nedskrivna på gula papperslappar. I den här boken har han samlat dem allihop – från 1970-talet fram till idag.

Jerry Seinfeld revisita suas quase cinco décadas na comédia stand-up e oferece em livro uma seleção com os melhores textos de sua carreira Quando criam algum material novo, todos os comediantes perguntam a mesma coisa entre si antes de mostrá-lo ao público: “Será que isso presta?” Jerry Seinfeld vem fazendo essa pergunta desde os 21 anos, quando chegou pela primeira vez ao Catch a Rising Star, templo da comédia stand-up de Nova York, durante uma noite de testes em 1975. Desde então, Seinfeld se tornou não apenas uma referência mundial no stand-up, mas o criador do seriado que leva o seu nome, considerado por muitos a melhor comédia já feita para a televisão. A vida o conduziu também para outros projetos, e hoje ele comanda um divertido programa de entrevistas com outros comediantes famosos. Mas, no fim das contas, o destino sempre arranjou um jeito de fazê-lo voltar aos palcos, de cara limpa, com um microfone na mão e uma plateia de desconhecidos. “A razão de ser do stand-up é a busca de um momento fugaz de conexão humana”, revela Seinfeld sobre a sua maior paixão. Será que isso presta? é um compilado monumental da produção de Seinfeld em suas cinco décadas de dedicação ao stand-up. Em diversos aspectos, é também uma autobiografia contada por meio de suas piadas, uma tirada genial após a outra. Uma obra definitiva para todo mundo que aprecia a linguagem universal do humor.

Jerry Seinfeld és, per a una majoria silenciosa, el millor escriptor de monòlegs del món. Seinfeld, creador de monòlegs hilarants, imitats per tota mena d’humoristes, és considerat un dels cervells més enginyosos de la comèdia americana. El seu secret és una energia desbordant, una visió sorprenent de la societat en què vivim i un carisma que ha captivat el públic de tot el planeta. «El món segons Jerry Seinfeld» és l’únic llibre de l’autor, a banda dels guions de la sèrie televisiva. Els seus monòlegs sobre les relacions humanes, les obsessions de la vida actual i els habituals problemes a la feina, esdevenen una guia fresca per anar pel món. «Als quinze anys, quan vaig començar a escriure tots els pensaments divertits que em venien al cap, no em podia imaginar de cap de les maneres que algun dia en podria fer un llibre. De fet, mai no vaig arribar a pensar que en podria acabar fent res. »Però hi ha molta gent que al cervell hi té un raconet juganer; la finalitat d’aquest llibre és que tant vosaltres com jo aconseguim que aquest raconet continuï viu. Entretenir-se és bo, no se n’ha de perdre la pràctica.» [Jerry Seinfeld] Jerry Seinfeld Nascut a Nova York (Estats Units) el 1954, Jerry Seinfeld és conegut per la famosa sèrie d’humor Seinfeld, guanyadora de gairebé tots els premis possibles en la seva categoria. Després de graduar-se al Queen’s College, Jerry Seinfeld va iniciar la seva carrera com a humorista amateur. Va continuar les actuacions en clubs i en indrets turístics. La seva trajectòria va fer un pas endavant amb la seva presència en un programa especial el 1976, «Rodney Dangerfield HBO». Posteriorment, gràcies a aparicions regulars als programes «Late Night with David Letterman» i «Tonight», el seu èxit va créixer substancialment. Però la clau en la seva carrera fou l’oferta de realitzar una sèrie pròpia. Amb el seu company Larry David, va crear Seinfeld el 1990, un dels programes emblemàtics de la televisió americana fins al 1998.
