Will Cuppy, American Satirist A Biography【電子書籍】[ Wes D. Gehring ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Back in the golden age of humor books (late 1920s-early 1950s), when wits of the pantheon like Robert Benchley, James Thurber, and S.J. Perelman were producing their signature works, there was another singular satirist who more than held his own with such fast company: Will Cuppy (1884-1949). This factual funnyman's metier is dark comedy that flirts with nihilism. His agenda is baldly stated in such classic Cuppy book titles as <em>How to Be a Hermit</em> (1929), <em>How to Tell Your Friends from the Apes</em> (1931), and <em>The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody</em> (1950). This biography doubles as a critical study of a satirist whose shish-kebabing of humanity was often done through the veiled anthropomorphic use of animals.</p> <p>For a biographer, Will Cuppy represents a treasure trove of possibilities. He was a great humorist, and most of his best work is still in print, but until now he has never been the subject of a book-length study. His mesmerizingly complex and eccentric private life almost trumps the comic accomplishments of his public persona.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,776円

How to Tell Your Friends from the Apes【電子書籍】[ Will Cuppy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A survey of life on earth, in all its variety and pagentry, by a very annoyed humorist.</strong></p> <p>From early man, the Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, to irascible observations on mankind and the animal kingdom today (including “Birds I Could Do Without”), Will Cuppy, a perennially perturbed hermit, is your guide in these are very funny essays.</p> <p>For eight years, from 1921 to 1929, Will Cuppy lived alone on Jones Island, off Long Island’s South Shore. From that outpost, he gained a reputation for his factual but funny magazine articles and wrote the book, <em><strong>How to be a Hermit</strong></em>, his first bestseller. His last, <em><strong>The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody</strong></em>, was left unfinished after Cuppy’s death in 1949 and has become a classic of American humor. In between (among other titles) was this very funny collection. First published in 1931, the subjects include “What I Hate About Spring,” “Awful Mammals,” and “Why Be a Rhinoceros?” Great for anyone who loves classic American humor.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,067円

The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody【電子書籍】[ Will Cuppy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling, comical take on world history from the beloved <em>New Yorker</em> humorist.</strong></p> <p>So, you think you know most of what there is to know about people like Nero and Cleopatra, Alexander the Great and Attila the Hun, Lady Godiva and Miles Standish? You say there’s nothing more to be written about Lucrezia Borgia? How wrong you are, for in these pages you’ll find Will Cuppy footloose in the footnotes of history. He transforms these luminaries into human beings, not as we knew them from history books, but as we would have known them Cuppy-wise: foolish, fallible, and very much our common ancestors.</p> <p>When it was first published in 1950, <em>The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody</em> spent four months on <em>The New York Times</em> bestseller list, and Edward R. Murrow devoted more than two-thirds of one of his nightly CBS programs to a reading from Cuppy’s historical sketches, calling it “the history book of the year.” The book eventually went through eighteen hardcover printings and ten foreign editions, proof of its impeccable accuracy and deadly, imperishable humor.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,584円

How to Be a Hermit【電子書籍】[ Will Cuppy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>How to Be a Hermit by American humorist Will Cuppy is a subjective and partly fictional account of Will's adventures as a hermit on Jones's Island in Wisconsin. Excerpt: "All was excitement that June morning among the clams of Jones's Island (pronounced, by your leave, in two good healthy syllables, thus: Jone'-sez). Softies by the bushel dug themselves deeper into the shoreward mud, and whimpering little quahogs out in their watery beds clung closer to their mothers as they heard the dread news relayed by their kinsfolk of Seaman's Neck, Black Banks Channel, Johnson's Flats, and High Hill Crick."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円
