Descrição do livro

You wake up in another century with no phone, no documents, no local accent, and absolutely no idea whether breakfast will poison you, your money is worthless, or your manners have already made you suspicious.

Wrong Century is a funny, fact-checked field guide to surviving ten real historical worlds—from the first farming settlement at Çatalhöyük to wartime Berlin. Forget glamorous costumes and tidy period dramas. This is history at street level: bad water, crowded housing, confusing laws, fragile social status, dangerous assumptions, and the small daily choices that could reveal you as an outsider.

Travel through Athens, imperial Rome, Baghdad, Florence, plague-shadowed London, industrial Manchester, 1890s London, Jazz Age New York, and more. In each stop, discover what ordinary survival would actually require—and what modern habits would get you into trouble fast.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Eat, work, travel, and find shelter without making obvious mistakes
- Navigate class, gender, religion, citizenship, etiquette, and authority
- Understand the diseases, dangers, scams, punishments, and shortages of each era
- Spot the social traps that matter more than knowing the “big events” of history

Part practical survival manual, part historical tour, and part reality check for anyone who thinks they were born in the wrong time, Wrong Century brings the past vividly—and inconveniently—to life.

Perfect for curious history readers, armchair time travelers, students, writers, and anyone who wants to know whether they could truly last before modern plumbing, medicine, wages, and anonymity.

Pick your century carefully. Then find out how long you’d survive.
