The Satirist
ISBN: 9781412805629 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Satire takes as its subject the absurdity of human beings, their societies, and the institutions they create.

The conclusions they have reached are sometimes contradictory, sometimes complementary, sometimes outlandish. In this volume, Leonard Feinberg brings together the major theories about the satirist, to provide in one book a summary of the problems that specialists have examined intensively in numerous books and...

Introduction to Satire
ISBN: 9780979090950 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For more than two thousand years we have known satirists as those wits who expose hypocrisy and deftly stick shafts into our ballooned egos. Collectively we resent this perspicacity-satirists are never much liked. We give them their due, however, by admiring their ability to make us laugh while they make us squirm. Introduction to Satire explains fully how the satirist manages to express his criticism in forms that society is willing to accept-in spite of the fact that no one likes to be criticized. New introduction by Don L. F. Nilsen, Historian. International Society for Humor Studies.
