idiocy and couragestresses
idiom. слабоумие и отвага (наиболее распространённый вариант в аутентично-англоязычном сегменте: (1) Armed with nothing but the misleading advice given by his drunk father and driven by a fanciful ambition, Bunti, a dimwitted young man, sets off upon a quest on becoming a knight to gain riches, glory, and the sexual favours of young women. In a whimsical world made up of children's fables, begins this humorously morbid tale of idiocy and courage. Written with an adult audience in mind, The Halfwit Knight is a fairy tale unlike any you would've read as a child. • (2) Sara Taksler--Producer for the The Daily Show--ventures into documentary film remarkably, with a story that does not allow itself to be choked with data nor overwhelmed by the giant personality that is Bassem Youssef. What emerges instead is Youssef's amazing mixture of idiocy and courage. goodreads.com Alexander Oshis)
