For more than a decade, The Economist has included unique
and original obituaries in a quite popular column. The
obituaries are remarkable because of the unpredictable
selection of people written about, the surprising lives
they led, and the brilliant writing style. This volume
gathers two hundred of the best obituaries. The selection
for this book ranges far and wide: Syd Barret of Pink Floyd
to John Kenneth Galbraith; Pope Jean Paul II to Sony
founder Akio Morita; Este Lauder to Hunter S. Thompson; and
Marcel Marceau to even Alex the African Grey (sciences best-
known parrot). The book includes illustrations and
photographs.
