13 The Story of the World's Most Notorious Superstition Tapa blanda - 2005

de Lachenmeyer, Nathaniel

Triskaidekaphobia: fear of the number 13

If thirteen people sit down at a table, will one die within a year? Why did five U.S. presidents join the Thirteen Club? What is the only major New York hotel that has a thirteenth floor?

In 13, a fascinating cultural history-cum-detective story, Nathaniel Lachenmeyer gets to the root of how one superstition the fear of the number 13 developed among wildly divergent societies. A book about mythmaking, 13 explores why people believe what they believe, and the real reason Friday the 13th is the most unlucky day in the world.


Primera línea

I HAD NEVER HEARD of the 13-at-a-table superstition until I read the Thirteen Club articles in Miscellany.
