Humor Classics

Horror, Humor, and Heroes is a collection of twelve short stories, one novella, and a preview for my next novel that should contain enough variety to entertain you readers. Sample some of my finest offerings, such as - a guardian wolf fearing the coming of man, a producer willing to do anything to bring the first pay per view live werewolf hunt to the world, and a zombie running for congress.

The perhaps greatest and most extensive collection of humor ever published.

Юмористические рассказы и сатирические фельетоны Михаила Булгакова - это остроумные зарисовки столичной жизни в разгар нэпа, блистательно-глумливое изображение "нового советского быта" и "разрухи в головах", живые и веселые житейские истории.

Thirty years after his death, Capt. Stormfield is still speeding across the universe, on his way to the next life, though he doesn't know yet where or when his journey will end. It's not a spoiler to tell you that he does get into heaven (it's in the title after all), but you may be surprised at some of the customs, characters, and spectacles he finds there.

Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and Renaissance humanist. Utopia is a work of fiction and socio-political satire. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about an imaginary island society and its religious, social, and political customs. While imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1534, he wrote A Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation. It is a fictional dialogue focusing on the comfort of God in distress, the benefits of suffering, atonement for evil acts, faintheartedness and the temptation to suicide.

This collection of fourteen reimagined Grimm's fairy tales from award-winning author Mark Russell offers a biting new perspective while proving the classics never go out of style. In the two hundred years since Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm first published their collection of fairy tales, things...

Vier Klassiker des Humors geben sich die Ehre...

Flatland, like our own world, is on the verge of the millenium. On the last day of the year 1999, a Square—hitherto undistinguished from the other shapes of his two-dimensional world—receives the Gospel of Three Dimensions, revealed to that world's flat inhabitants only once every...

Wilhelm Buschs berühmte Bildergeschichte, voll doppelbödigem Humor als vergnügliches, aufwändig produziertes Hörspiel.

Spöttisch, aber liebevoll geht Ludwig Thoma mit den Schwächen der grantelnden Mitbürger aus seiner bayerischen Heimat um. Mit Musik von Ludwig van Beethoven.

Diese von Claus Obalski launig vorgetragenen Erzählungen Thomas bewegen sich keineswegs auf den Pfaden bürgerlicher Gefühlsseligkeit, sondern vielmehr um bäuerliche Liebespaare. Thoma wäre nicht Thoma, wenn er dabei nicht satirisch aufspiessen wü,rde, wie völlig nüchtern, gänzlich unromantisch das Zueinanderfinden der Geschlechter auf dem Lande von statten geht.

Penrod, Booth Tarkington's classic and hilarious tale of one 11-year-old boy's unceasing series of misadventures in an early 20th-century Midwestern town, has fallen into disrepute in some quarters for ethnic descriptions and dialogue that many today find offensive. Lasso Books has taken the bold step of abridging the original text and removing questionable passages and rewriting select portions so that children and adults may now read this delightful novel without the insensitivities of the past that many found objectionable.

Another of Mark Twain's best-selling yarns of skullduggery and mischief. Set in the deep South, Pudd'nhead Wilson is the central character as an attorney who solves a murder mystery and lays bare the wicked deeds of a larger-than-life ensemble of personalities in his own wry and peculiar way.

Hell's too full, so the Devil hires ad man Dirk Quigby to pen a travel guide enticing travelers to different afterlives: Hindu, Catholic, Protestant (that one's got a lot of subdivisions), Scientologist, and more. Instead of writing a boffo best seller, Dirk unites all religions in a common goal: kill Dirk. E. E. King grew up in one of those tolerant households that don't force religion down kids' throats. This is the result.

A wonderfully amusing account of the escapades of a naïve student at Oxford, c. 1850.

I gjennombruddsromanen sin, Dagdrivergjengen, beskriver Steinbeck med overdådig humor og stor innlevelse de såkalte paisanoenes omflakkende og ubekymrede landstrykerliv. Disse californiske vagabondene er etterkommerne av den gamle befolkningen – spanjoler, indianere og mexicanere. De er ikke styrt av materielle goder, men lever fra dag til dag som ekte livsnytere, konstant opptatt av å skaffe den neste gallonen vin eller gjøre erobringer blant damene som krysser deres vei.

A unique work of wit, humor, and insight about men, women, and the goings-on of life, including memory and more, from the author of Three Men in a Boat and the sequel, Three Men on a Bummel or Wandering.
