Art, architecture, history and philosophy are its grammar. And, like a language, anyone can learn it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2022, Sheehan Quirke took to Twitter (now X) as The Cultural Tutor with the aim of making culture accessible for everyone. He wrote about poetry, paintings, building design, and counter-intuitive but fascinating facts about history and geography. It wasn’t the sort of content you usually find on a newsfeed – and yet it has flourished, gaining over 1.7 million followers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaught in forty-nine short lessons – from Babylon to Brutalism, Ronaldo to Ragnarök – Sheehan takes readers on a delightful and fascinating journey through culture. He explores provocative questions (is mythology any different to science?) and uncovers illuminating stories (did you know that the highest paid athlete in history was a Roman charioteer?).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a witty and thought-provoking exploration of everything you need to know to begin your own adventures in the world of culture and see the everyday wonders around you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54486524952920,"sku":"9780241742853","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780241742853.jpg?v=1780115460","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cultural-tutor","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
