Fiesta explores the vibrant tapestry of human festivity, delving into the extraordinary lengths to which we go to express
our cultures and commemorate life's milestones. From drunken pilgrimages to sacrificial funerals, national days to
neo-pagan necromancy, festivals represent human culture at its most vivid and varied, and the resulting account is both
a rich collection of travel writing and an anthropological exploration of the roles that festivals play in society. Through
colourful characters, vibrant sights, and varied locales, Daniel Stables takes a curious, humanistic look at festivals
across the world, unravelling the universal threads that run through our diverse global celebrations.
