Sinopsis

Elbert Hubbard's "The Roycroft Dictionary, Concocted by Ali Baba and the Bunch on Rainy Days" is a delightful and unconventional lexicon that blends wit with wisdom. Drawing on Hubbard's signature style—a unique amalgam of humor, philosophy, and craftsmanship—the dictionary is not just a collection of words, but rather a celebration of the creative spirit. Set against the backdrop of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the early 20th century, this work reflects Hubbard's admiration for artisanal quality and intellectual curiosity, inviting readers to engage with language in both a playful and profound manner. Hubbard, a prominent figure in American literature and a staunch advocate of individualism, established the Roycroft community as a hub for artisans, where he championed the values of creativity and self-expression. His diverse background as a writer, publisher, and lecturer is reflected in the eclectic nature of the dictionary, encapsulating his belief in the power of words to inspire change and artistry. This work exemplifies Hubbard's rejection of convention and his quest for authentic expression. Readers seeking to expand their vocabulary and invigorate their appreciation for language will find in "The Roycroft Dictionary" a treasure trove of inspiration. It is an ideal companion for those who cherish creativity and the art of words, promising not only enlightenment but also laughter on the journey of discovery.

Flying to Extremes

Dominique Prinet

Recalling some of the most memorable escapades ever conducted in the Canadian Arctic with bush planes, Flying to Extremes takes place in the late ’60s and early ’70s from a base at Yellowknife, in the heart of the Northwest Territories.Beyond recounting so many near-mishaps, this book is also about colourful people: the trappers, prospectors, miners, adventurers and gold-ingot thieves who constituted the fauna at the main bar in Yellowknife in those days. For Arctic dreamers, there was always the flight to the Nahanni River, with its Deadman’s Valley, hot springs, tales of lost or dead prospectors, the many airplanes crashed in pursuit of gold, and much more Nahanni lore.This entertaining book recollects Prinet’s adventures as a young man while capturing the humour, beauty, danger and unique culture of northern communities, in the dramatic landscape of the Canadian Arctic. Readers familiar with the region and those who can only dream of visiting it will both find this title a nostalgic and captivating read.

Alexandra Petri's US History -...

Alexandra Petri

A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! 
 
 
 
Alexandra Petri's US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri's "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. 
 
 
 
On Petri's deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Nikola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain—who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated—offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. 
 
  
 
This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius," a "national treasure," and "one of the funniest writers alive."
