Literary Lapses by Stephen Leacck, Fiction, Literary
ISBN: 9781603125765 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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 Tennyson Killed the May Queen" or "Hoodoo McFiggin's Christmas," that he has won over the English-reading public everywhere.

ISBN: 9789358011630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Stephen Leacock originally published his collection of amusing and satirical short tales, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town.

Flack, and the well-intentioned but inept town policeman Mr. Henry Mullins. Leacock makes fun of small-town life and the...

Frenzied Fiction
ISBN: 9781913724085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Stephen Leacock is an unjustly neglected master of the short-story genre, once considered the best-known humorist in the world. Although he was a prolific writer, producing about fifty novels, biographies and histories, he was best known for his humorous articles and short stories in magazines. One of his later collections, Frenzied Fiction shows a master of a genre at the height of his game, and contains all the hallmarks of his earlier work and the trademark wit which he had refined over the previous decades. By turns laugh-aloud hilarious and poignant, and containing such gems as ‘My...

So that was why Mr. Fyshe had asked Mr. Furlong to lunch with him, and to dine with him later on in the same day at the Mausoleum Club to meet the Duke of Dulham. And Mr. Furlong, realizing that a clergyman must be all things to all men and not avoid a man merely because he is a duke, had accepted the invitation to lunch, and had promised to come to dinner, even though it meant postponing the Willing Workers' Tango Class of St. Asaph's until the following Friday. Thus it had come about that Mr. Fyshe was seated at lunch, consuming a cutlet and a pint of Moselle in the plain downright fashion...

The clerks rattle me; the wickets rattle me; the sight of the money rattles me; everything rattles me. The moment I cross the threshold of a bank and attempt to transact business there, I become an irresponsible idiot. I knew this beforehand, but my salary had been raised to fifty dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place for it. So I shambled in and looked timidly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account must needs consult the manager. I went up to a wicket marked "Accountant." The...

He wore a long green gown and half a dozen secret badges pinned to the outside of it. Three or four pairs of false whiskers hung on a whisker-stand beside him. Goggles, blue spectacles and motor glasses lay within easy reach. He could completely disguise himself at a second's notice. Half a bucket of cocaine and a dipper stood on a chair at his elbow. His face was absolutely impenetrable. A pile of cryptograms lay on the desk. The Great Detective hastily tore them open one after the other, solved them, and threw them down the cryptogram-shute at his...

Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich
ISBN: 9781514367902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.
