Sinopsis

In "The Comic Poems of Thomas Hood," the author showcases a clever blend of wit and humor that reflects the social and political landscapes of 19th-century England. Hood's literary style is characterized by a playful use of language, sharp satire, and a keen awareness of human folly, making his work both entertaining and thought-provoking. Through his comedic lens, Hood explores themes of love, loss, and the absurdities of everyday life, inviting readers to not only laugh but also to reflect on the complexities of the human experience. Thomas Hood, an influential figure of the Romantic and Victorian periods, was deeply affected by the societal issues of his time, including poverty and social injustice. His background as a journalist and editor, along with personal struggles, enriched his sensitivity towards the human condition, which is vividly portrayed in his comic verse. Hood's ability to juxtapose humor with serious themes exemplifies the duality of his artistic vision and cements his legacy as one of the foremost comic poets of his era. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate the intersection of humor and social commentary. Hood'Äôs adeptness at crafting verse that is both amusing and contemplative makes this work essential for those seeking a deeper understanding of the societal norms and challenges of his time, all while being thoroughly entertained.

Throw in a handful of dwarfs, some fiery feminists, and a couple of famous porn stars, and you have a recipe for disaster beyond anyone's wildest imagination. 
    The tale unfolds in ways that defy rational explanation or belief, leaving high-ranking government officials and gangland hoodlums hoping such madness will never be repeated.

    A fully immersive audiobook featuring original music and sound effects, “You and Me” is a laugh-out-loud compilation of travel stories written and narrated by husband and wife creatives, Michael S. Ryan and Kristen Herrington. From the textured rainforest of Costa Rica to the streets of Bangkok, this book is about the journey of falling in love, at times beautifully evocative and at others wildly amusing. The authors give tips for wary travellers, and show quite definitely how wandering down the street following your nose is better than following the guidebook every time. Ryan and Herrington are true adventurers unafraid of diving right into the spontaneity of the moment. They don their back packs to hike a volcano in flip-flops, sprint through airports, encounter foreign drug dealers and take you places you’ve never imagined. This book is a perfect fit for readers who want to learn the art of people-watching and get out of resorts and into the busy marketplace. It is a gem for anyone planning their first trip overseas or simply wanting to escape into the myriad of destinations without leaving their armchair.
