Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various author…s, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Stefan Andres, Werner Bergengruen, Elisabeth Langgässer, Gertrud von le Fort, Reinhold Schneider: Namen, die heute kaum noch jemand kennt. Doch diese Autoren, die vor 1945 aus sehr unterschiedlichen Gründen den Weg in die 'Innere Emigration' gewähl…t hatten, waren in den ersten Nachkriegsjahrzehnten auf eine für die Zeit höchst kennzeichnende Weise erfolgreich - beispielhaft für die besondere Form, in der die deutsche Literatur während des 'Dritten Reichs' und unmittelbar danach die Auseinandersetzung mit totalitärer Herrschaft suchte. Ihre Bücher wurden vielgelesen und vieldiskutiert, bevor sie, unter der späten 'Zensur der Nachgeborenen', in Vergessenheit gerieten. Was bleibt von dieser Literatur, was hat sie uns heute zu sagen Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigte sich, aus Anlaß des 100. Geburtstages von Stefan Andres (1906-1970), ein international besetztes Symposium, das - unter Federführung von vier literarischen Gesellschaften und gefördert von der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Literarischer Gesellschaften (ALG) Berlin - im Deutschen Literaturarchiv in Marbach am Neckar stattfand.
