Sobre IBD

'The Inventions of the Idiot' is a humorous novel written by John Kendrick Bangs. The book follows the adventures of the titular 'Idiot,' who is a bumbling inventor and self-proclaimed genius. Despite his many failures, the Idiot remains confident in his abilities and continues to come up with new and bizarre inventions. Throughout the book, the Idiot creates a variety of ridiculous contraptions, from a machine that can turn lead into gold to a flying bicycle powered by the wind. However, his inventions always seem to go wrong, leading to hilarious and disastrous consequences. Along the way, the Idiot also finds himself caught up in a variety of absurd situations, such as accidentally becoming president of the United States and marrying the Queen of England. The novel is full of witty humor and satire, poking fun at the overly confident. The story also serves as a commentary on the obsession with technology and innovation that was prevalent during the 20th century.
