Jerry Seinfeld on yksi kaikkien aikojen parhaista ja menestyneimmistä koomikoista. Hänen uransa alkoi syksyllä 1975 newyorkilaisen yökerhon ”Catch a Rising Star” -illassa, kun Seinfeld oli vasta 21-vuotias opiskelijapoika. Tästä ensimmäisestä esiintymisestään lähtien hän on kirjoittanut omat vitsinsä – ja säilyttänyt ne kaikki, 45 vuoden ajan.

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.

Martijn Koning Vanaf het allereerste optreden in 1975 als 21-jarige student in de legendarische New Yorkse club ''Catch a Rising Star'' tot op de dag van vandaag heeft Jerry Seinfeld al zijn materiaal zelf geschreven. En hij heeft alles bewaard. Zo schrijft hij: ''Als er iets grappigs in me opkwam, of dat nu tijdens een show was, of tijdens een gesprek of waar dan ook, dan schreef ik het op en bewaarde ik het in van die ouderwetse schoolmappen. Ik heb dus alles nog, van al die 45 jaar waarin ik steeds m''n stinkende best deed.'' Seinfeld heeft voor dit boek zijn favoriete materiaal geselecteerd en presenteert het per decennium. Hierdoor krijgt de lezer de ene na de andere hilarische en briljant verwoorde observatie en volgt zo de ontwikkeling door de jaren heen van een van de beste komieken van onze tijd.

Humorous musings by well-known TV comedian on topics such as love, personal maintenance, family life and food.

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.
