The Unbearable Bassington A Darkly Humorous Satire of Edwardian Society and Aristocratic Follies【電子書籍】[ Saki ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Unbearable Bassington," Saki deftly combines wit, social satire, and narrative ingenuity to explore the follies of Edwardian society through the lens of the effete and charming young protagonist, Reginald Bassington. The novella unfolds with a keen sense of irony, delving into the absurdities of the British gentry, especially their preoccupations with social status, aesthetics, and the trivialities of life. With his signature dry humor and meticulously crafted prose, Saki paints a vivid portrait of a world where incompetence and vanity thrive, challenging readers to reflect on the veracity of societal morals and expectations of the era. H.H. Munro, better known by his pen name Saki, was a prominent early 20th-century author whose life and experiences significantly influenced his acclaimed literary output. Growing up in an Edwardian household characterized by strict social norms and a vivid imagination, Saki's exposure to the eccentricities of the upper class and his fin-de-si√?cle milieu imbued his works with a unique blend of irreverence and insight. His often subversive themes reveal deep-seated critiques of society, reflecting both personal and cultural discontent. "The Unbearable Bassington" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate sharp humor intertwined with poignant social commentary. Saki'??s masterful storytelling invites audiences to revel in the charms and shortcomings of his characters while also pondering the intricate dance of human behavior within the constraints of societal expectations. This novella is an essential addition to the literary canon for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the nuances of early 20th-century English life.＜/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。	150円

It is not the smartest agency on Madison Avenue, but it is certainly the most outrageous. Most of the campaigns they create are sexy, silly, spontaneous, and surprisingly successful.

Press Cuttings Unveiling the Absurdities of Power and Propaganda Through Witty Satire【電子書籍】[ Bernard Shaw ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Press Cuttings," Bernard Shaw employs his signature wit and incisive critique to explore the intricate relationship between journalism and public opinion in early 20th-century England. This play utilizes a satirical format, characterized by sharp dialogue and a clever interplay of characters, to dissect the machinations of media and its impact on social and political discourse. Set against the backdrop of contemporary issues, Shaw refrains from merely presenting a narrative; instead, he engages with critical themes of censorship, public manipulation, and the power dynamics inherent in communication, making this work a significant reflection of its time. Bernard Shaw, an eminent playwright and critic, was influenced by his experiences in both the arts and the brewing tensions of his era. Deriving insights from his involvement in socialist movements and a keen interest in media ethics, Shaw crafted "Press Cuttings" as an expos√? of the journalistic landscape. His scholarly background and commitment to social reform underscore the motivations behind this play, revealing a deep-seated frustration with the shortcomings of the press and its role in shaping public perception. I highly recommend "Press Cuttings" to readers interested in the intersection of media, politics, and society. Shaw's compelling narrative not only entertains but also provokes critical thought about the responsibility of the press, making it a timeless examination of journalism's ethical implications that resonates even today.＜/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。	310円

Modernism, Satire and the Novel【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Greenberg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In this groundbreaking study, Jonathan Greenberg locates a satiric sensibility at the heart of the modern. By promoting an antisentimental education, modernism denied the authority of emotion to guarantee moral and literary value. Instead, it fostered sophisticated, detached and apparently cruel attitudes toward pain and suffering. This sensibility challenged the novel's humanistic tradition, set ethics and aesthetics into conflict and fundamentally altered the ways that we know and feel. Through lively and original readings of works by Evelyn Waugh, Stella Gibbons, Nathanael West, Djuna Barnes, Samuel Beckett and others, this book analyzes a body of literature - late modernist satire - that can appear by turns aloof, sadistic, hilarious, ironic and poignant, but which continually questions inherited modes of feeling. By recognizing the centrality of satire to modernist aesthetics, Greenberg offers not only a new chapter in the history of satire but a persuasive new idea of what made modernism modern.＜/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。	16,381円
Heresies and Seditions Intelligent Nonsense, Wicked Satire and Tragic Jest【電子書籍】[ Bill Davis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞HERESIES AND SEDITIONS can best be described as intelligent fun. The Latin word satura means both satire and a mixed dish or medley. My book is a salmagundi of insolent satires, wacky improvisations, decarboxylated yarns, imaginary interviews, fugitive visions, crystalline lyrics, mystical runes, rhymes and misdemeanors. . . . It generally avoids the standard narcotizing narrative of popular fiction and should appeal to readers with a sense of humor who aren't afraid of the literature of ideas. The "heresies" part of the title refers to writings on themes drawn from esoteric religions, especially Gnosticism. The book combines fiction and verse in a rather original way. Prose pieces are followed by poems, which modulate between sections, and there is a structural logic and flow from beginning to end, as in a musical composition. The movement is from sheer farce ("Strange Doings") to parodies of Swift ("Another Modest Proposal"), Stevens ("Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Yuppie") and the King James Bible ("The Book of Mammon") to a caustic critique of the American nightmare ("Mr. K. and the Demons") to the philosophical satires of "Conversation with an Archon" and "Mythos." I write what I have to write and not what I think an editor or niche audience will like. Since some of the topics I deal with are potentially depressing, I have chosen to treat them in a humorous or fanciful way that expresses sobering truths without dispiriting the reader.＜/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。	482円

English Bards, and Scotch Reviewers; A Satire (Illustrated Edition)【電子書籍】[ Lord Byron ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞At a time when the Romantic movement was sweeping the European continent in the early 19th century, among musicians, writers and playwrights, perhaps nobody embodied and personified the Romantic movement quite like Lord Byron, the famous English poet whose life and works are both the stuff of legend. In addition to being celebrated for poems like She Walks in Beauty, When We Two Parted, and So, we'll go no more a roving, Byron was also notorious for living in excess, racking up debts and liaisons at increasingly reckless speeds. Despite his fame and abilities, he eventually exiled himself, ultimately traveling to fight in the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Turks. Lord Byron would fall ill and die during the war at the young age of 36, but the Greeks consider him a national hero, and people have been reading his material and talking about his life ever since. This edition of Lord Byrons English Bards, and Scotch Reviewers; A Satire is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Lord Byron.＜/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。	160円

Extinction X-rated An Autofictional Dark Satire About Good and Evil【電子書籍】[ Alan E Clements ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A deep, psychedelic inner exploration incited by the looming threats of mass extinction, climate change, and global totalitarianism. "Extinction X-rated" takes place as author, activist, and spiritual maverick, Alan Clements, weighs up his reasons to live or die on the eve of his ritualized potential suicide. With a lethal syringe of morphine in one hand and a high dose of acid in the other, Clements invites his readers into a darkly satirical, erotic autofiction that blends a plausible yet unauthorized 50-year history of rebel dharma in the West with all the dystopian elements of 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Blue Velvet, and the Manchurian Candidate.＜/p＞＜p＞Woven within the arising metaphysical landscapes, and pitched against both horror and hilarity, are the stifling grip of propaganda and ingrained legacies of trauma, the struggles of lockdown and long-term Covid, the specter of election fraud, and the probing tendrils of corruption, self-deceit, and spiritual narcissism.＜/p＞＜p＞Populated by a pantheon of disembodied saints and a cabal of the demonized and despised, this work of fiction is a direct, no holds barred assault on the futility of the times, a meditation on good and evil, and a lesson in moral courage that builds from quiet, LSD-inspired reflection to a crescendo of thunderous upheaval and resolution not known until the final page. As the Doomsday Clock ticks ever closer to a fatal midnight, so too do the pages of this book count down to a victory of hope against all odds, or a final goodnight to an inescapable Samsara.＜/p＞＜p＞Alan Clements is a satirist, performing artist, former Buddhist monk, and investigative journalist in areas of war and extreme conflict. He is also the author of numerous books, a spoken word album, and the subject of a feature documentary film, "Spiritually Incorrect" (FilmsforActions.org).

Rather, it was written as a form of existential self-therapy, to discover new inner landscapes and abide more honestly and courageously in conscience and dignity. Essentially, I wanted to ask myself the most pressing question I'd been living with: In the face of the sixth mass extinction, is there hope and is it realistic?＜/p＞＜p＞As an expression of creative activism, the book confronts established notions of power, both political and spiritual. It asks us to face the incomprehensible. To look into the abyss itself and breathe together. Bearing witness through imagination, invoking humor, maybe not laughter, in response to the horrors of the everyday world.＜/p＞＜p＞As a purely creative act, I wanted to break free of and taboos and cross boundaries - venturing into the unnerving frontiers of spontaneous authenticity. By challenging all forms of self-censorship, I created an experience that you may love, or you may hate or may be confounded by.＜/p＞＜p＞In the end the book is a prayer, a protest and a scream. As it challenges propaganda and totalitarianism, while (I pray) serving to safeguard freedom of thought, conscience, and expression. To me, freedom, dignity, and the universality of human rights are the vanguard of sanity and the best protection against racism, violence, and war.＜/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。	2,734円

Reforming French Culture Satire, Spiritual Alienation, and Connection to Strangers【電子書籍】[ George Hoffmann ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Reforming French Culture is a ground-breaking work on the literary genre of Reformation satire--colloquial, obscene, scatological--designed to mock the excesses as well as the essence of the Roman Catholic rite and hierarchy. Enticingly, Hoffmann proposes that while romance, with its episodic, heroic narrative, is the literary genre of Counter-Reformation, satire is the genre of Reformation. This minor category of Renaissance French literature is an unstudied continent that plays a key role, not only in French literature, but also in French history, and in the evolution of French culture more generally. From this deceptively small focus, the volume opens up huge vistas: on the Reformation, on French history, and on the symbiosis of spirituality and estrangement to which it views modern French culture as heir. Rather than using literature to illustrate history, or contextualizing literature through historical background, this book brings literary understanding (what satire is and what it does) to bear on historical understanding. Situated at the crossroads of religion, literature, and cultural history, it explores how France, in this period, became a culturally Protestant country while remaining confessionally Catholic.＜/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。	10,825円
Roman Satire and the Old Comic Tradition【電子書籍】[ Jennifer L. Ferriss-Hill ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Quintilian famously claimed that satire was tota nostra, or totally ours, but this innovative volume demonstrates that many of Roman satire's most distinctive characteristics derived from ancient Greek Old Comedy. Jennifer L. Ferriss-Hill analyzes the writings of Lucilius, Horace, and Persius, highlighting the features that they crafted on the model of Aristophanes and his fellow poets: the authoritative yet compromised author; the self-referential discussions of poetics that vacillate between defensive and aggressive; the deployment of personal invective in the service of literary polemics; and the abiding interest in criticizing individuals, types, and language itself. The first book-length study in English on the relationship between Roman satire and Old Comedy, Roman Satire and the Old Comic Tradition will appeal to students and researchers in classics, comparative literature, and English.＜/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。	16,381円
