Literary Lapses by Stephen Leacck, Fiction, Literary
ISBN: 9781603124782 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Who but Stephen Leacock would endeavor to describe a boarding house -- in terms of schoolroom geometry? ("The landlady of a boarding-house is a parallelogram -- that is, an oblong angular figure, which cannot be described, but which is equal to anything.") Or to detail the terrible ordeal of Melpomenus Jones, unable to say, "Good-bye"?
Leacock (1869-1944) did have his serious side -- for he wrote learnedly of Twain and Dickens, and was a professor of political science and economics at McGill University . . . but it was when he set aside seriousness for levity, with such sketches as "How...

Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich
ISBN: 9781514367902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Mausoleum Club stands on the quietest corner of the best residential street in the City. It is a Grecian building of white stone. About it are great elm trees with birds-the most expensive kind of birds-singing in the branches. The street in the softer hours of the morning has an almost reverential quiet. Great motors move drowsily along it, with solitary chauffeurs returning at 10.30 after conveying the earlier of the millionaires to their downtown offices. The sunlight flickers through the elm trees, illuminating expensive nurse-maids wheeling valuable children in little perambulators.

Readers are requested to note that this novel has taken our special prize of a cheque for a thousand guineas. This alone guarantees for all intelligent readers a palpitating interest in every line of it. Among the thousands of MSS. which reached us-many of them coming in carts early in the morning, and moving in a dense phalanx, indistinguishable from the Covent Garden Market waggons; others pouring down our coal-chute during the working hours of the day; and others again being slipped surreptitiously into our letter-box by pale, timid girls, scarcely more than children, after nightfall (in...

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It is usual on these occasions for the chairman to begin something like this: "The lecturer, I am sure, needs no introduction from me." And indeed, when I have been the lecturer and somebody else has been the chairman, I have more than once suspected myself of being the better man of the two. Of course I hope I should always have the good manners-I am sure Mr. Leacock has-to disguise that suspicion. However, one has to go through these formalities, and I will therefore introduce the lecturer to you.
