The Amusing Bible
ISBN: 9781491761960 / Angielski / Twarda / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Amusing Bible is the first English adaptation of La Bible Amusante, written in french by Leo Taxil in 1897, which was suppressed from being translated into English or Spanish. It contains quotes from the Bible, comments by Voltaire, Lord Bolingbroke, Freret, Toland and over 400 illustrations by Frid'Rick. The Amusing Bible is a powerful weapon against the clergy and their doctrine of the heavenly origin of the Bible, since it consistently points out the errors of the Bible. Do not expect a deep scientific criticism, since The Amusing Bible only points out those absurdities and...

Life is Like a Glass of Tea: Studies of Classic Jewish Jokes (Second Edition)

The first book on Jewish humor in which individual jokes are singled out for comprehensive study, Life is Like a Glass of Tea devotes a chapter to each of eight major jokes, tracing its history and variants-and looking closely at the ways in which the comic behavior enacted in the punchline can be interpreted. One of the unique properties of classic Jewish jokes is their openness to radically different interpretive options (having nothing to do with wordplay or double entendre). This openness to alternate interpretations-never before discussed in the literature on Jewish humor-gives classic...

Funny Peculiar: Gershon Legman and the Psychopathology of Humor
ISBN: 9781138176249 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why are jokes funny? Why do we laugh? In Funny Peculiar, Mikita Brottman demurs from recent scholarship that takes laughter-- and the broader domain of humor and the comical--as a liberating social force and an endearing aspect of self-expression. For Brottman, there is nothing funny about laughter, which is less connected to mirth and feelings of good will than to a nexus of darker emotions: fear, aggression, shame, anxiety.
Brottman rethinks not only the mechanisms of humor but also the relation of humor to the body and the senses. To this end, she provides an engrossing account... Why are jokes funny? Why do we laugh?

Written for all who are interested in the mechanics of humor, Sweet Madness presents a general discussion and introduction to the roles of paradox, metaphor, and fantasy in humor.
