Covers every aspect of popular entertainment: fairs, cafes, boulevard theatres, and freak shows.
Looking into the face of our alleged ape ancestor, popular Christian apologist Hank Hanegraaff dissects and debunks the astonishingly weak arguments for the evolutionary theory, revealing it as nothing more than a "fairy tale for grown-ups." The author uses his own Memory Dynamics to make it easy for Christians to speak intelligently about evolution and speak persuasively about the Creator.
This steampunk series debut set in the same world as the New York Times bestselling Parasol Protectorate is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor Gail Carriger's legions of fans have come to adore. Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than in proper manners—and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage—in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.
Farce elicits an immediate, elemental response from all age levels, cutting across national and intellectual boundaries. It dates back to people’s first attempts to scoff in public at whatever their neighbors cherished in private: social prestige, eccentricities, virtues that are vices, friendships, and enmities. Albert Bermel, teacher, writer, and translator of farce, takes readers on an instructive and hilarious voyage from the classical Greek stage through English Restoration and French farce, to the young Hollywood of Mack Sennett, Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd, the other silent farceurs of the Jazz Age, and on to W. C. Fields, Mae West, Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, and Monty Python—including other greats along the way like Hope and Crosby, Laurel and Hardy, and the Marx Brothers.
The demon Azzie Elbub commissions a play in which the seven deadly sins will be shown as the path to a fine life. But the angel Babriel gets wind of the scheme and sets in motion a counter-campaign. A comic fantasy.
A Dante/Beckett reduction of human struggle to its lowest common denominator. Michael Mirolla' author of The Formal Logic of Emotion and Berlin. One of the most original and thought - provoking stories I have ever read...true literary art...Not a word is wasted in this masterpiece. Yes' I call it that. I have read many classics' and I can tell you that The Divine Farce should be counted among them; the finest in American literature. Geek scribe Three strangers are condemned to live together in darkness' crushed together in a concrete stall so small that they can never sit down. Liquid food drips down from above. Waste drains through a grid on the floor. So begins one of the strangest' most surreal comments on the human experience' on love and hatred and the human ability to find good in any situation' no matter how difficult. Michael S. A. Graziano delights in the macabre and surreal' yet it is his optimism that lifts this little novel. Like The Love Song of Monkey' this book is deeply thought provoking' horrifying' and funny. Praise for The Love Song of Monkey; Imaginative' intelligent narrative. Twin ideas of forgiveness and mercy twist through this strange' moving' patiently wrought novel.
A surreal story about love, hatred, and the transcendent ability to find good in any situation.
From the tragedy of 9/11 to the farce of the financial meltdown.
