The Dialogues Of Luisa Sigea or; Sotadical Satire on The Arcana of Love and Venus【電子書籍】[ Nicolas Chorier ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞*TULLIA. Give me a kiss: it will be my viaticum for rest.＜/p＞＜p＞OTTAVIA. I offer thee my mouth, lips, and my whole person; take of me whatever pleasures thou wilt, I am wholly thine.＜/p＞＜p＞TULLIA. O the kisses that Jupiter would envy me! O the delightful embraces! O the seducing handling! Allow me to fall asleep so, with my mouth laid between thy paps, one hand placed upon thy garden, the other grasping those hard and compact thighs: as Mars was wont to sleep with his Cypris. When I shall be freed from sleep, I shall resume my discourse, and, with the same truthfulness as I began, I shall finish what remains over and above, darling maid, my lady.*＜/p＞＜p＞The night before Otavia is due to wed Tullia takes it upon herself to educate the naive young lady on all the physical delights of which she is soon to be intimately acquainted. In free and uncensored discourse the Tullia describes in wantonly graphic detail the manner in which the female form is purposed to attain the utmost in orgiastic heights. From the alter of Venus to the sceptre of Priapus, through sapphic tutelage to group-menages with two virile and willing men Octavia will come away with an innate knowledge of debauchery enough to truly satisfy her betrothed's most lascivious desires.＜/p＞＜p＞This gem of erotica brims with classically Grecian debauchery, written in an enlightening prose that exudes a sense of the forbidden. Referred to in literary circles as 'whore dialogues', and based upon the knowing guidance of one elder to the younger, ＜em＞The Dialogues Of Luisa Sigea＜/em＞ is a fine addition to any collection of the once-suppressed.＜/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。	244円
The Sanity of Satire Surviving Politics One Joke at a Time【電子書籍】[ Al Gini ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Political humor and satire are, perhaps, as old as comedy itself, and they are crucial to our society and our collective sense of self. Satire is confrontational. It’s about pushback, dissent, discord, disappointment, and demonstrating the absurdity of the status quo. This book is an attempt to explore how these aspects of satire help secure our sanity.＜/p＞＜p＞Aristotle famously said that humans are naturally political animals. We need political community to flourish and live good lives. But politics also entails unpopular decisions, oppression, and power struggles. Satire is a vehicle through which we reflect on and challenge the irrational, incomprehensible, and intolerable nature of our lives without becoming totally despondent or depressed.＜/p＞＜p＞In a poignant, pithy, but not ponderous manner, Al Gini and Abraham Singer delve into the history of satire to rejoice in its triumphs and watch its development from ancient graffiti to the latest late-night TV talk show.＜/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。	3,979円

Insurrection Resurrection A Novel of Political and Religious Satire【電子書籍】[ James R. Keena ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Man is born free, yet is everywhere in chains. How did this happen? Insurrection Resurrection provides an answer. In this dark satire, founding father Thomas Jefferson mysteriously appears in modern America to incite a second American Revolution, out of revulsion for contemporary politics. Its a tale of Alice in Wonderland surrealism, Catch-22 farce, and Atlas Shrugged philosophical controversy.＜/p＞＜p＞The antagonist is a tyrannical politician known only as the Head Honcho. He controls the puppet strings of the U.S. government with the guile of Nixon, the subterfuge of J. Edgar Hoover, the scandal of Clinton, and the mystery of the X-Files Smoking Man. Hes a ruthless, power-mongering juggernaut who continuously pursues reelection with animalistic Neanderthal fervor. He believes in government of the politicians, for the politicians, and by the politicians. He spews out innocuous slogans, unkeepable promises, contradictory positions, and pompous deceit. Hes embroiled in a ceaseless witch-hunt for a mysterious rebel known only as the Insurrectionist, who is actually the resurrected Jefferson.＜/p＞＜p＞The protagonist is Freeman, a career bureaucrat who plods along as the Head Honchos public relations stooge. Apathy and purposelessness haunt him. He unwittingly becomes associated with Jefferson, who gradually enlightens him about the absurdity of todays politics. Through the unique perspective of the resurrected Jefferson, it becomes apparent that the current American government is as corrupt and oppressive as the British monarchy we revolted against two centuries ago. Astonished by the opulent lifestyles of American politicians, the enormity of the federal government, and its utter disdain for ordinary taxpayers, Jefferson organizes tax revolts, exposes corrupt politicians, and recruits citizen militias.＜/p＞＜p＞The Head Honcho counters with propaganda, censorship, murder, and war to divert attention from his malfeasance and a comic series of governmental malfunctions. Blood begins to flow in a crimson river all around him. His behavior exemplifies a government run amok as he violates civil rights and turns the bureaucracy into an engine of surveillance to hunt down the Insurrectionist. His surreptitious cover-ups, obstructions of justice, and deceptions lead to a constitutional crisis and a public tidal wave of revulsion. He creates a new state religion called Ismism, a generic philosophy with zero principles, all of which are politically correct. This gives him lots of room to maneuver while avoiding clashes with facts.＜/p＞＜p＞To stave off mounting rebellions, the Honcho enacts the Insurrection Act, which gives him wartime powers to apprehend and prosecute suspected rebels. The Act exemplifies the unadulterated goal of all governments, which is self-preservation at any cost to individual liberty. Still, the Insurrectionist eludes him. Freeman becomes aware, through his friend Jefferson, that the American experiment has edged, day by day, month by month, year by year, away from its original premise, and now threatens the American people with a bureaucratic leviathan more imposing and intrusive than all previous examples put forth by history. It becomes clear that when government makes peaceful revolution impossible, violent revolution is inevitable＜/p＞＜p＞Utterly despondent, the Honcho reminisces about days gone by when kings were kings, serfs were serfs, and everyone politely stayed in their place. He travels back in time to England in 1775, where he becomes the tyrant King George to try to prevent the original American Revolution from happening, in order to make America a more hospitable place for tyrants in subsequent centuries.＜/p＞＜p＞Unfortunately, theres so much inertia behind the American drive for independence from British bureaucratic oppression that hes powerless to stop the revolution. Americas violent revolt creates humanitys first separation of church and state, and establishes hist＜/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。	1,144円

An anthology of short stories Comedy, satire, romance, spoofs, Sci-Fi, an autobiography of a grandfather clock, and the invention of a new genre 'Weresheep'. '.【電子書籍】[ Colin Rigby ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A collection of short stories with a wide range of genre, from Sci-fi to satire. The book commences with a swipe at automated telephone responses, with which many will find a welcome target, perhaps. A spoof of the ubiquitous werewolf novel is followed by a short sci-fi story, and then my grandfather clock takes the stage and says what it thinks about its owner, which is not a lot. Another very short spoof on the genre of romantic fiction and an account of an imaginary election debate precedes the longest story, about Max, who undergoes a series of personality changes as the result of obsessive fears for his health. The collection concludes with an account of one man's reactions when his cruise ship starts to sink.＜/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。	472円
The Collected Works of Voltaire Enlightenment Insights: Satire, Philosophy, and Social Critique in Voltaire's Literary Legacy【電子書籍】[ Voltaire ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Collected Works of Voltaire presents an extensive compilation of the writings of one of the Enlightenment's most iconic figures, offering profound insights into a range of subjects including philosophy, politics, and religion. Armed with a sharp wit and incisive critique, Voltaire's literary style oscillates between biting satire and earnest advocacy, making his prose both engaging and provocative. This anthology captures his nuanced reflections on the human condition, the critique of dogma, and the celebration of reason, all within the historical context of 18th-century France, where he navigated the tumultuous waters of censorship and authoritarianism. Voltaire, born Fran√?ois-Marie Arouet, was a polymath and ardent advocate of civil liberties, shaped by his experiences in a society rife with oppression and inequality. His travels, imprisonment, and encounters with other Enlightenment thinkers, such as Rousseau and Diderot, profoundly influenced his philosophy. The combined experiences and intellectual ferment of his time led him to produce works that championed tolerance and championed the need for reform in society and theology. This collected volume not only enriches the modern reader's understanding of Voltaire's thoughts but also invites a critical examination of today's societal norms. For those interested in the foundations of modern philosophy and the evolution of ideas concerning freedom and justice, Voltaire'??s collected works are indispensable reading.＜/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
A Trip to Scarborough; and, The Critic Timeless Satire of British Society and Theater World【電子書籍】[ Richard Brinsley Sheridan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Richard Brinsley Sheridan'??s "A Trip to Scarborough; and, The Critic" exemplifies the rich tapestry of 18th-century British comedy, intertwining sharp wit with theatrical satire. "A Trip to Scarborough" explores themes of love, class, and social pretense through its lighthearted yet incisive narrative, while "The Critic" serves as a meta-theatrical commentary, parodying the very acts of drama and criticism. Sheridan employs brilliant wordplay and robust characterizations, immersing readers in the vibrant language and social mores of his time, thus reflecting the dynamics of English theatre during the Restoration period. Sheridan, a prominent playwright and politician, was deeply intertwined with the theatrical world of his era, which significantly shaped his writing. Informed by his own experiences in London's social circles and his friendships with notable figures in the arts, his works highlight the folly and absurdity of human behavior, often drawing on contemporary events and theatrical conventions. His mastery of comedic elements is evidenced in his ability to loftily critique societal norms while entertaining his audience. This collection is highly recommended for those interested in the evolution of comedic theatre and societal critique, as it seamlessly blends humor with intellectual engagement. Readers will find themselves enchanted by Sheridan'??s razor-sharp dialogue and clever narrative structures, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.＜/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
Beware the Poetry Political Satire and the Emergence of a Public Sphere in Madrid, 1595?1643【電子書籍】[ Javier Castro-Ibaseta ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In the early seventeenth century, Spanish rulers were confronted by an avalanche of political satires. ＜em＞Beware the Poetry＜/em＞ shows how these poetic libels helped articulate an early form of the public sphere, profoundly transforming political culture.＜/p＞＜p＞Exploring a rich trove of mostly anonymous satirical works, together with newsletters, sermons, and plays, Javier Castro-Ibaseta reconstructs the experiences of Madrilenians during the reigns of Philip III and Philip IV. Castro-Ibaseta proposes an original theory of political publics that corrects approaches that assume early modern Spain’s public sphere mirrored the politics of England or France. Instead, he shows that in Spain publicness was distinct because the satiresーabout the king’s favorite, and even about the king himselfーwere consumed for pleasure and entertainment. They did not create political communities or stir rebellious movements. Read diachronically, the long, continuous, evolving collection of satires reveals not just the opinions of the poets but something far more difficult to reconstruct: the shifting demands, interests, uncertainties, and worldviews of the audienceーthat is, the structure and dynamics of Madrid’s emerging public sphere.＜/p＞＜p＞Applying an interdisciplinary approach of literary criticism and historical method, ＜em＞Beware the Poetry＜/em＞ presents an exciting new take on politics and poetry during the period often referred to as the Spanish Decadence. It will be of special interest to scholars of early modern politics and Spanish literature and culture.＜/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。	15,587円

Allegories of Farming from Greece and Rome Philosophical Satire in Xenophon, Varro, and Virgil【電子書籍】[ Leah Kronenberg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In this book Professor Kronenberg shows that Xenophon's Oeconomicus, Varro's De Re Rustica and Virgil's Georgics are not simply works on farming but belong to a tradition of philosophical satire which uses allegory and irony to question the meaning of morality. These works metaphorically connect farming and its related arts to political life; but instead of presenting farming in its traditional guise as a positive symbol, they use it to model the deficiencies of the active life, which in turn is juxtaposed to a preferred contemplative way of life. Although these three texts are not usually treated together, this book convincingly connects them with an original and provocative interpretation of their allegorical use of farming. It also fills an important gap in our understanding of the literary influences on the Georgics by showing that it is shaped not just by its poetic predecessors but by philosophical dialogue.＜/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。	16,510円

Jonson, the Poetomachia, and the Reformation of Renaissance Satire Purging Satire【電子書籍】[ Jay Simons ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Does satire have the ability to effect social reform? If so, what satiric style is most effective in bringing about reform? This book explores how Renaissance poet and playwright Ben Jonson negotiated contemporary pressures to forge a satiric persona and style uniquely his own. These pressures were especially intense while Jonson was engaged in the Poetomachia, or Poets’ War (1598-1601), which pitted him against rival writers John Marston and Thomas Dekker. As a struggle between satiric styles, this conflict poses compelling questions about the nature and potential of satire during the Renaissance. In particular, this book explores how Jonson forged a moderate Horatian satiric style he championed as capable of effective social reform. As part of his distinctive model, Jonson turned to the metaphor of purging, in opposition to the metaphors of stinging, barking, biting, and whipping employed by his Juvenalian rivals. By integrating this conception of satire into his Horatian poetics, Jonson sought to avoid the pitfalls of the aggressive, violent style of his rivals while still effectively critiquing vice, upholding his model as a means for the reformation not only of society, but of satire itself.＜/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。	9,672円

Spenserian satire A tradition of indirection【電子書籍】[ Rachel E. Hile ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Scholars of Edmund Spenser have focused much more on his accomplishments in epic and pastoral than his work in satire. Scholars of early modern English satire almost never discuss Spenser. However, these critical gaps stem from later developments in the canon rather than any insignificance in Spenser's accomplishments and influence on satiric poetry. This book argues that the indirect form of satire developed by Spenser served during and after Spenser's lifetime as an important model for other poets who wished to convey satirical messages with some degree of safety. The book connects key Spenserian texts in ＜em＞The Shepheardes Calender＜/em＞ and the ＜em＞Complaints＜/em＞ volume with poems by a range of authors in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, including Joseph Hall, Thomas Nashe, Tailboys Dymoke, Thomas Middleton and George Wither, to advance the thesis that Spenser was seen by his contemporaries as highly relevant to satire in Elizabethan England.＜/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。	15,478円

The National Joker Abraham Lincoln and the Politics of Satire【電子書籍】[ Todd Nathan Thompson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Abraham Lincoln’s sense of humor proved legendary during his own time and remains a celebrated facet of his personality to this day. Indeed, his love of jokesーhearing them, telling them, drawing morals from themーprompted critics to dub Lincoln “the National Joker.” The political cartoons and print satires that mocked Lincoln often trafficked in precisely the same images and terms Lincoln humorously used to characterize himself. In this intriguing study, Todd Nathan Thompson considers the politically productive tension between Lincoln’s use of satire and the satiric treatments of him in political cartoons, humor periodicals, joke books, and campaign literature. By fashioning a folksy, fallible persona, Thompson shows, Lincoln was able to use satire as a weapon without being severely wounded by it.＜/p＞＜p＞In his speeches, writings, and public persona, Lincoln combined modesty and attack, engaging in strategic self-deprecation while denouncing his opponents, their policies, and their arguments, thus refiguring satiric discourse as political discourse and vice versa. At the same time, he astutely deflected his opponents’ criticisms of him by embracing and sometimes preemptively initiating those criticisms. Thompson traces Lincoln’s comic sources and explains how, in reapplying others’ jokes and stories to political circumstances, he transformed humor into satire. Time and time again, Thompson shows, Lincoln engaged in self-mockery, turning negative assumptions or depictions of himーas ugly, cowardly, jocular, inexperiencedーinto positive traits that identified him as an everyman while attacking his opponents’ claims to greatness, heroism, and experience as aristocratic or demagogic. Thompson also considers how Lincoln took advantage of political cartoons and other media to help proliferate the particular Lincoln image of the “self-made man”; underscores exceptions to Lincoln’s ability to mitigate negative, satiric depictions of him; and closely examines political cartoons from both the 1860 and 1864 elections. Throughout, Thompson’s deft analysis brings to life Lincoln’s popular 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。	2,449円
